<p>This function can take in multiple inputs and performs the Fully Connected
function (linear transformation) on top of each of them.
So for input x, the output will be : Wx + b. Where W is the parameter,
b the bias and x is the input.</p>
<p>The function also applies an activation (non-linearity) on top of the
output, if activation is passed in the input.</p>
<p>All the input variables of this function are passed in as local variables
to the LayerHelper constructor.</p>
