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

Introducing and preprocessing music MIDI files


In this recipe, we will read a repository of Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI) files and preprocess them into a suitable format for an RBM. MIDI is one of the formats of storing musical notes, which can be converted to other formats such as .wav, .mp3, .mp4, and so on. MIDI file formats store various kinds of events such as Note-on, Note-off, Tempo, Time Signature, End of track, and so on. However, we will primarily be focusing on the type of note--when it was turned on, and when it was turned off.

Each song is encoded into a binary matrix, where rows represent time, and columns represent both turned on and turned off notes. At each time, a note is turned on and the same note is turned off. Suppose that, out of n notes, note i is turned on and turned off at time j, then positions Mji = 1 and Mj(n+i) = 1, and the rest Mj = 0.

All the rows together form a song. Currently, in this chapter, we will be leveraging Python codes to encode MIDI...
