Deep learning - resources and examples

Dear all,

I was looking for applications of Deep Learning (DL) using Rapidminer to show to my students. I could not find a simple tutorial, or fully developed example, that uses easy-to-get data. I saw some videos on youtube using the Iris dataset, but that doesn't motivate the topic well.

It would be nice to see an example where there is a comparison with other methods, showing the superiority of DL, and maybe some examples that illustrate how one can calibrate the hyperparameters. 

Can anyone suggest to me some material for that?

Best,
Bernardo
