Dabbling with Deep Learning, part I

The MNIST dataset and logistic regression

This is a shameless plug of the http://deeplearning.net/tutorial/logreg.html#logreg Deep Learning tutorial. I just keep it in my Github to be able to access it later and build upon it. Thus, the code from that site is here under their license which can be founde in the LICENSE file of this repo.
