rbm-dbn-mnist

Learn more about this project from this blog post:

http://tjake.github.com/blog/2013/02/18/resurgence-in-artificial-intelligence/

This project provides a implementation for a Restricted Boltzmann Machine and a Deep Belief Network

It uses the MNIST handwritten dataset to illistrate an example RBM and DBN.

Usage

From source build the project with maven:

1. mvn deploy

This will build a single jar and download the mnist dataset.

2. java -jar target/rbm-dbn-mnist-0.0.1.jar

Runs the app. shows the usage screen

Usage: [rbm minst-labels.gz minst-images.gz]
	   [dbn minst-images.gz minst-labels.gz dbn.bin]
	   [gen dbn.bin]

3. java -jar target/rbm-dbn-mnist-0.0.1.jar rbm target/minst/train-labels-idx1-ubyte.gz target/minst/train-images-idx3-ubyte.gz

Trains a single RBM with 100 hidden nodes. Each of the hidden nodes weights are rendered alongside the test digit in blue.

4. java -jar target/rbm-dbn-mnist-0.0.1.jar dbn target/minst/train-labels-idx1-ubyte.gz target/minst/train-images-idx3-ubyte.gz /tmp/dbn.bin

Trains a Deep Belief Network made up of three RBMs. It learns to match pictures of digits with their corresponding label. It takes about 10m to train but once it's done it has ~95% accuracy rate. The trained DBN is saved to a file.

5. java -jar target/rbm-dbn-mnist-0.0.1.jar gen /tmp/dbn.bin

Takes the trained DBN from step 4. and reverses the flow, generating a visual image of a digit from a digit label.
