We use three primary CLASSES of reference materials in this course:
- The Top Ten Terms PDF – this is your core reference booklet; download it and read it as soon as possible – relatively easy (lots of big, colorful pictures); fast read (under an hour),
- Select chapters, as well as the Précis, from the book-in-progress Statistical Mechanics, Neural Networks, and Artificial Intelligence, and
- Original research papers: the first one is the Salakhutdinov and Hinton (2012) paper.
Your first step is to get a copy of each of these.
In particular, we suggest that you PRINT OUT a copy of the Salakhutdinov and Hinton paper.
