DRBMC

Discriminative Restricted Boltzmann Machine classifier

    W = DRBMC(A)
    W = DRBMC(A, N)
    W = DRBMC(A, N, L)

Input
A	Dataset
N	Number of hidden units
L	Regularization parameter (L2)

Output
W	Discriminative Restricted Boltzmann Machine classifier

Description

The classifier trains a discriminative Restricted Boltzmann Machine (RBM) on dataset A. The discriminative RBM can be viewed as a logistic  regressor with hidden units. The discriminative RBM has N hidden units  (default = 50). It is trained with L2 regularization using regularization  parameter L (default = 0).

New objects are classified in the same way as in a logistic regressor,  using a softmax function over the labels.
