----------------------------------------
So how is testing going? Any bugs or problems until now?

> This is a proposal for a new classifier based on restricted boltzmann
> machines. The development of this feature follows the paper on "Deep
> Boltzmann Machines" (DBM) [1] from 2009. The proposed model (DBM) got an
> error rate of 0.95% on the mnist dataset [2], which is really good. Main
> parts of the implementation should also be applicable to other scenarios than
> classification where restricted boltzmann machines are used (ref. MAHOUT-375).
> I am working on this feature right now, and the results are promising. The
> only problem with the training algorithm is, that it is still mostly
> sequential (if training batches are small, what they should be), which makes
> Map/Reduce until now, not really beneficial. However, since the algorithm
> itself is fast (for a training algorithm), training can be done on a single
> machine in managable time.
> Testing of the algorithm is currently done on the mnist dataset itself to
> reproduce results of [1]. As soon as results indicate, that everything is
> working fine, I will upload the patch.
