DeepLearnToolbox

A Matlab toolbox for Deep Learning.

Deep Learning is a new subfield of machine learning that focuses on learning deep hierarchical models of data. It is inspired by the human brain's apparent deep (layered, hierarchical) architecture. A good overview of the theory of Deep Learning theory is Learning Deep Architectures for AI

For a more informal introduction, see the following videos by Geoffrey Hinton and Andrew Ng.

• The Next Generation of Neural Networks (Hinton, 2007)
• Recent Developments in Deep Learning (Hinton, 2010)
• Unsupervised Feature Learning and Deep Learning (Ng, 2011)

Example: Deep Belief Network

train_x = double(train_x) / 255;
test_x  = double(test_x)  / 255;
train_y = double(train_y);
test_y  = double(test_y);
