Tutorial: handwritten digit recognition with convolutional neural networks

November 8, 2010

I recently added to my webpage a tutorial on how to use torch5 library to train a convolutional neural network for the task of handwritten digit recognition.

Update (February 20, 2026): The code for this tutorial is now available at https://github.com/hpenedones/luacnn and uses torch7. This tutorial was reviewed by Claude Code as of 2026.
