616 Do the good results previously obtained with deep architectures on the |

| 618 dataset, the NIST special database 19, with 62 classes and around 800k examples? | |

624 To what extent does the perturbation of input images (e.g. adding |
| 472 | 625 noise, affine transformations, background images) make the resulting |
| 626 classifier better not only on similarly perturbed images but also on | |
| 627 the {\em original clean examples}? Do deep architectures benefit more from such {\em out-of-distribution} | |
| 628 examples, i.e. do they benefit more from the self-taught learning~\citep{RainaR2007} framework? | |
