Learning Boltzmann Machines

The goal of learning

Why the learning could be difficult

A very surprising fact

The batch learning algorithm

Why is the derivative so simple?

Why do we need the negative phase?

Restricted Boltzmann Machines

A picture of the Boltzmann machine learning algorithm for an RBM

A surprising short-cut

Why does the shortcut work?
