Restricted Boltzmann Machines
We restrict the connectivity to make
inference and learning easier.
Only one layer of hidden units.
No connections between hidden
units.
In an RBM, the hidden units are
conditionally independent given the
visible states. It only takes one step
to reach thermal equilibrium when
the visible units are clamped.
So we can quickly get the exact
value of :
