title: Difference between Dense and Activation layer in Keras
body: <p>I was wondering what was the difference between Activation Layer and Dense layer in Keras.</p>
  
  <p>Since Activation Layer seems to be a fully connected layer, and Dense have a parameter to pass an activation function, what is the best practice ?</p>
  
  <p>Let's imagine a fictionnal network like this :
  Input -> Dense -> Dropout -> Final Layer
  Final Layer should be : Dense(activation=softmax) or Activation(softmax) ?
  What is the cleanest and why ?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks everyone!</p>
