Scalala and ScalaNLP for Restricted Boltzman Machines?

[delbert]

hello All,

 

i would like to fold an implementation for RBM's into the Scalala / ScalaNLP frameworks.

 

i am starting with the code from the Master himself, at:  http://www.cs.toronto.edu/~hinton/MatlabForSciencePaper.html

 

since his code is in Matlab, i assume that RBM's would at least fit into Scalala.  i have been noodling about in the code a little bit, but have not come to any other conclusions.

 

could i get a recommendation, please, on how i might fit an RBM implementation into these frameworks?

 

is there an existing Class or set of Classes that you would recommend that i model an implementation after?  i would like to get an architecture in place that would hang well with the rest of the framework.

 

many thanks,

 

delbert

Um, I don't think we have anything specific, really. We have our own
set of minimization routines (not CG, but LBFGS and stochastic
gradient.) To use them take a look at the "Optimization" section of
the tour https://github.com/scalanlp/scalanlp-core/wiki/Tour for how
to define DiffFunctions and use the optimization suite.

Otherwise, I think it's mostly just a question of porting the matlab
code over to Scalala.

thanks, David.

 

i will start down that path and post back to the Scalala list, as i run into questions.
