There's a great Google Tech Talk by Geoff Hinton that serves as a slightly technical introduction to Deep Learning if anyone's interested: [VIDEO]

There's a very good Google Tech Talk by Geoff Hinton (who has worked closely with Dahl on a lot of this research and developed some of the key algorithms in this field) that explains how to build deep belief networks using layers of RBMs: [LINK] That video focuses on handwritten digit recognition, but it's great for understanding the basics. There's a second Google Tech Talk video from a few years later that talks directly about phoneme recognition as well: [VIDEO]
