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This toolbox is outdated and no longer maintained.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](http://deeplearning.net/software/theano/), [torch](http://torch.ch/) or [tensorflow](http://www.tensorflow.org/)
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](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.
