In the case of sparse autoencoders, we used two techniques for imposing sparsity. A sparse autoencoder is a neural network whose aim to learn compressed representations of the data, typically for dimensionality reduction, with a constraint on the activity of the neurons in the network. Thus we can see that rica in the overcomplete case is the same as a sparse autoencoder with an l1 sparsity constraint and without nonlinearity. The only difference between this sparse autoencoder and rica is the sigmoid nonlinearity.
