sample_vector.m (Sample from multiple categorical distributions) is a
requirement. This also depends on col_sum.m.
They can both be obtained from Tom Minka's lightspeed toolbox:

You will need to move the sample data, Normal1_M.mat and Jog1_M.mat to
the data/ subdirectory or change the respective paths in the scripts.
This subdirectory contains files related to learning and generation:
demo_imcrbm_mit.m Main file for learning (unsupervised)
and generation
demo_imcrbm_mit_labels.m Main file for learning (supervised)
and generation
mixgaussiancrbm.m Trains imCRBM unsupervised
mixgaussiancrbm_labels.m Trains imCRBM with supervision on
discrete components
crbmfe.m Compute free energy under CRBM
genmix.m Generates data from an imCRBM
make_mit_walk_jog.m Dataset loading & preprocessing
make_mit_walk_jog_withtest.m Dataset loading & preprocessing, also
creates a test set
visualize_mit.m Visualization of trained model (unsupervised)
visualize_mit_labels.m Visualization of trained model (supervised)
Note that there are two entry points, depending on whether you want to train the model completely unsupervised (i.e. assuming no category labels) or supervised (i.e. with category labels corresponding to motion style).
The Motion subdirectory contains files related to motion capture data: preprocessing/postprocessing, playback, etc ...
There are a number of parameters (number of discrete components,
number of hidden units, etc.) that can be changed. Most are at the
top of demo_imcrbm_mit.m and demo_imcrbm_mit_labels.m. But there
are also some parameters (learning rates, sparsity settings, etc.)
defined in mixgaussiancrbm.m and mixgaussiancrbm_labels.m.
The default parameters should work; however, if /tmp is not writeable,
then the definition of snapshot_root must be changed in demo_imcrbm_mit.m
and demo_imcrbm_mit_labels.m.
The sample data we have included has been provided by Eugene Hsu: http://people.csail.mit.edu/ehsu/work/sig05stf/
Several subroutines related to motion playback are adapted from Neil Lawrence's Motion Capture Toolbox: http://www.cs.man.ac.uk/~neill/mocap/
Several subroutines related to conversion to/from exponential map representation are provided by Hao Zhang: http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~nhz/software/rotations/
NOTE: I do not plan on extending this code. I have, for the most part, moved away from Matlab and am developing in Python. Of course, if there are major bugs reported, I will fix them.
