Deprecation notice.
This toolbox is outdated and no longer maintained.
There are much better tools available for deep learning than this toolbox, e.g. Theano, torch or tensorflow
I would suggest you use one of the tools mentioned above rather than use this toolbox.
Best, Rasmus.
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)
