Get Started with Deep Learning Toolbox

R2026b
Design, train, analyze, and simulate deep learning networks

Deep Learning Toolbox™ provides functions, apps, and Simulink® blocks for designing, training, and simulating deep neural networks. You can visualize and interpret predictions, verify network properties, and compress networks with pruning, projection, or quantization. You can also generate C/C++, CUDA®, and HDL code for trained networks (with MATLAB® Coder™, GPU Coder™, or Deep Learning HDL Toolbox™).

The toolbox provides interfaces to other AI frameworks, enabling inference in MATLAB and Simulink and allowing the import of models from PyTorch®, TensorFlow™, Keras™, and ONNX™ into MATLAB.

The Deep Network Designer app lets you design, import, edit, and analyze networks. The Time Series Modeler app lets you train and compare models for time series prediction without writing code.

Interactively Modify a Deep Learning Network for Transfer Learning
Deep Network Designer is a point-and-click tool for creating or modifying deep neural networks. This video shows how to use the app in a transfer learning workflow. It demonstrates the ease with which you can use the tool to modify the last few layers in the imported network as opposed to modifying the layers in the command line. You can check the modified architecture for errors in connections and property assignments using a network analyzer.
