An Empirical Evaluation of Deep Architectures on Problems with Many Factors of Variation [PDF]
by ogrisel (via)Recently, several learning algorithms relying on models with deep architectures have
been proposed. Though they have demonstrated impressive performance, to date, they
have only been evaluated on relatively simple problems such as digit recognition in a controlled environment, for which many machine
learning algorithms already report reasonable results. Here, we present a series of experiments which indicate that these models show
promise in solving harder learning problems that exhibit many factors of variation. These
models are compared with well-established algorithms such as Support Vector Machines
and single hidden-layer feed-forward neural networks.
