This repository is an attempt to translate the various demos contained in the theano deep learning tutorial to regular python. It was done for two reasons:
- To help me learn theano
- To validate my understanding of the content of the tutorials
I've also found that it is useful to benchmark theano against my implementations.
All benchmarks have been run on CPU not GPU.

Deep Learning is a new area of Machine Learning research, which has been introduced with the objective of moving Machine Learning closer to one of its original goals: Artificial Intelligence. Deep Learning is about learning multiple levels of representation and abstraction that help to make sense of data such as images, sound, and text. The tutorials presented here will introduce you to some of the most important deep learning algorithms and will also show you how to run them using Theano. Theano is a python library that makes writing deep learning models easy, and gives the option of training them on a GPU.
The easiest way to follow the tutorials is to browse them online.
