rbm-ae-tf

Tensorflow implementation of Restricted Boltzman Machine and Autoencoder for layerwise pretraining of Deep Autoencoders with RBM. Idea is to first create RBMs for pretraining weights for autoencoder. Then weigts for autoencoder are loaded and autoencoder is trained again. In this implementation you can also use tied weights for autoencoder(that means that encoding and decoding layers have same transposed weights!).

Thanks saliksyed and myme5261314 for your gists and for inspiration of implementing rbm and autoencoders!
