- QUOTE: Recently, a major advance has been made in training densely connected, directed belief nets with many hidden layers. The resulting deep belief nets learn a hierarchy of nonlinear feature detectors that can capture complex statistical patterns in data. The deep belief net training algorithm suggested in [24] first initializes the weights of each layer individually in a purely unsupervised[1] way and then fine-tunes the entire network using labeled data. This semi-supervised approach using deep models has proved effective in a number of applications, including coding and classification for speech, audio, text, and image data ([25]–[29]). T

- QUOTE: Much recent research has been devoted to learning algorithms for deep architectures such as Deep Belief Networks and stacks of auto-encoder variants, with impressive results obtained in several areas, mostly on vision and language data sets. The best results obtained on supervised learning tasks involve an unsupervised learning component, usually in an unsupervised pre-training phase. Even though these new algorithms have enabled training deep models, many questions remain as to the nature of this difficult learning problem.
