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](http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~bengioy/papers/ftml_book.pdf)
For a more informal introduction, see the following videos by Geoffrey Hinton and Andrew Ng.
* [The Next Generation of Neural Networks](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AyzOUbkUf3M) (Hinton, 2007)
* [Recent Developments in Deep Learning](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VdIURAu1-aU) (Hinton, 2010)
* [Unsupervised Feature Learning and Deep Learning](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmNOAtZIgIk) (Ng, 2011)
If you use this toolbox in your research please cite [Prediction as a candidate for learning deep hierarchical models of data](http://www2.imm.dtu.dk/pubdb/views/publication_details.php?id=6284)

Setup
-----
1. Download.
2. addpath(genpath('DeepLearnToolbox'));
Known errors
------------------------------
`test_cnn_gradients_are_numerically_correct` fails on Octave because of a bug in Octave's convn implementation. See http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?39314
`test_example_CNN` fails in Octave for the same reason.
