Energy-based Model

Maximum Entropy models makes least assumption about the data

Boltzmann machine is much like a spin glass model in physics. In short words, Boltzmann machine is a machine that has nodes that can take values, and the nodes are connected through some weight. It is just like any other neual nets but with complications and theoretical implications.

Introducing latent variables to Boltzmann machine and restrict the connections within groups.
