I know there's deep hate for java around here, but here's another relevant link. (You could probably shoehorn in scala or clojure as well) This is a direct tutorial for doing deep learning. http://nlp.stanford.edu/courses/NAACL2013/ http://nlp.stanford.edu/courses/NAACL2013/ Take a look at a recent homework assignment they had to do with Named Entity Recognition and Deep Learning: http://nlp.stanford.edu/~socherr/pa4_ner.pdf http://nlp.stanford.edu/~socherr/pa4_ner.pdf It's good to see neural networks being leveraged as they are. Conditional Random Fields have been dominant for sequence based classifiers for a while. We've been needing to push the envelope a bit further.
