You could create the layers first and then stack them, something like this maybe
using Flux
function make_nn(length_in = 80, length_out = 1, nodes = 128, hid_lay = 3, act_fun = relu, act_fun_last = sigmoid)
first_layer = Dense(length_in, nodes, act_fun)
intermediate_layers = [Dense(nodes,nodes,act_fun) for _ in 1:hid_lay-1]
last_layer = Dense(nodes, length_out, act_fun_last)
return Chain(
first_layer,
intermediate_layers...,
last_layer
)
end
