  I think this is talking about the non-linear transformation function.
Basically, each neuron output y = f(wx) for weight vector w and input
vector x and transfer function f.  Traditionally, f is a sigmoid (the
logistic function 1/(1+e^-x)), but tanh is also popular and with deep
learning, rectifier and such functions are very popular IIRC because
they allow much better propagation of error to deep layers.

  I hope to be able to start dedicating time to this starting the end of
January (when I'll be moving to Japan for three months! I'll be glad to
meet up with fellow Go developers some time, and see you at the UEC if
it's in 2015 too :-).

  I would very much appreciate an open source implementation of this
- or rather, I'd rather spend my time using one to do interesting things
rather than building one, I do plan to open source my implementation if
I have to make one and can bring myself to build one from scratch...
