Overview of this book

Deep Learning is the next big thing. It is a part of machine learning. It's favorable results in applications with huge and complex data is remarkable. Simultaneously, R programming language is very popular amongst the data miners and statisticians. This book will help you to get through the problems that you face during the execution of different tasks and Understand hacks in deep learning, neural networks, and advanced machine learning techniques. It will also take you through complex deep learning algorithms and various deep learning packages and libraries in R. It will be starting with different packages in Deep Learning to neural networks and structures. You will also encounter the applications in text mining and processing along with a comparison between CPU and GPU performance. By the end of the book, you will have a logical understanding of Deep learning and different deep learning packages to have the most appropriate solutions for your problems.

Preface

Setting up a Deep Belief Network


Deep belief networks are a type of Deep Neural Network (DNN), and are composed of multiple hidden layers (or latent variables). Here, the connections are present only between the layers and not within the nodes of each layer. The DBN can be trained both as an unsupervised and supervised model.

Note

The unsupervised model is used to reconstruct the input with noise removal and the supervised model (after pretraining) is used to perform classification. As there are no connections within the nodes in each layer, the DBNs can be considered as a set of unsupervised RBMs or autoencoders, where each hidden layer serves as a visible layer to its subsequent connected hidden layer.

This kind of stacked RBM enhances the performance of input reconstruction where CD is applied across all layers, starting from the actual input training layer and finishing at the last hidden (or latent) layer.

DBNs are a type of graphical model that train the stacked RBMs in a greedy manner...
