-> This is a solution to the Linear Decoder exercise in the Stanford UFLDL Tutorial(http://ufldl.stanford.edu/wiki/index.php/Exercise:Learning_color_features_with_Sparse_Autoencoders) -> The code has been written in Python using Scipy, Numpy and Matplotlib -> The code is bound by The MIT License (MIT) Running the code: -> Download the data file 'stlSampledPatches.mat' and the code file 'sparseAutoencoderLinear.py' -> Put them in the same folder, and run the program by typing in 'python sparseAutoencoderLinear.py' in the command line -> You should get an output similar to the file 'output.png' -> The code takes about a day to execute on an i3 processor Code written by: Siddharth Agrawal Email ID: siddharth.950@gmail.com
