Use of MLP with one hidden layer and direct weights from input to output units












0












$begingroup$


One of the questions I saw online while reading about MLPs was - "Consider an MLP architecture with one hidden layer where there are also direct weights from the inputs directly to the output units. Explain when such a structure would be helpful and how it can be trained."



After some thinking, I felt that the use of such a configuration would be when the output must depend more on the current input than the history. However, I am not sure if my answer is right or how training a model with such a configuration can be done. Any help on this would be appreciated. Thanks!
