Looks like you've solved the issue with some later commits; or are you
still having trouble?  If so I'll dig in a bit deeper.

One idea might be to find some papers that use RBMs very similarly to
how you have implemented, and ensure that the training and test errors
are within some margin of what the paper says RBMs are able to do.  This
is how Sumedh and I did some of the SVD tests.
