The tutorials presented here will introduce you to some of the most important deep learning algorithms and will also show you how to run them usingtheano. Recently, in k sparse autoencoders 20 the authors used an activation function that applies thresholding until the k most active activations remain, however this nonlinearity covers a limited. Every autoencoder should have less nodes in the hidden layer compared to the input layer, the idea for this is to create a compact representation of the input as correctly stated in other answers.
