My recommendation is to start with the references given in the project description, each paper also has some useful references that are really helpful. In fact, to be successful at this project, you should have a good knowledge of deep learning; i.e., you should be familiar with the way deep neural networks are typically built and trained, and certainly you should be familiar with the individual components that you plan to implement. > I don't seem to find any previous implementation of RBM (Correct me if I am > wrong.

Do you mean you couldn't find an mlpack RBM implementation? > I have previously worked in Convolutional Neural Networks by doing a project > on > detecting Distracted Driver and was successfully able to implement it. Sounds interesting based on images/video? I wonder what dataset you used to train the network, would be interesting to hear more about the project. > I am currently going through the slab and spike rbm.

If everything works we can discuss some ideas how to improve the project or add new features. Is that helpful? If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
