Advanced Deep Learning with R

By: Bharatendra Rai

Overview of this book

Deep learning is a branch of machine learning based on a set of algorithms that attempt to model high-level abstractions in data. Advanced Deep Learning with R will help you understand popular deep learning architectures and their variants in R, along with providing real-life examples for them. This deep learning book starts by covering the essential deep learning techniques and concepts for prediction and classification. You will learn about neural networks, deep learning architectures, and the fundamentals for implementing deep learning with R. The book will also take you through using important deep learning libraries such as Keras-R and TensorFlow-R to implement deep learning algorithms within applications. You will get up to speed with artificial neural networks, recurrent neural networks, convolutional neural networks, long short-term memory networks, and more using advanced examples. Later, you'll discover how to apply generative adversarial networks (GANs) to generate new images; autoencoder neural networks for image dimension reduction, image de-noising and image correction and transfer learning to prepare, define, train, and model a deep neural network. By the end of this book, you will be ready to implement your knowledge and newly acquired skills for applying deep learning algorithms in R through real-world examples.

Working with the CIFAR10 dataset

For illustrating the use of pretrained models with new data, we will make use of the CIFAR10 dataset. CIFAR stands for Canadian Institute For Advanced Research, and 10 refers to the 10 categories of images that are contained in the data. The CIFAR10 dataset is part of the Keras library and the code for obtaining it is as follows:

# CIFAR10 data
data <- dataset_cifar10()
str(data)
OUTPUT
List of 2
$ train:List of 2
..$ x: int [1:50000, 1:32, 1:32, 1:3] 59 154 255 28 170 159 164 28 134 125 ...
..$ y: int [1:50000, 1] 6 9 9 4 1 1 2 7 8 3 ...
$ test :List of 2
..$ x: int [1:10000, 1:32, 1:32, 1:3] 158 235 158 155 65 179 160 83 23 217 ...
..$ y: num [1:10000, 1] 3 8 8 0 6 6 1 6 3 1 ...

In the preceding code, we can observe the following:

  • We can read the dataset using the dataset_cifar10() function.
  • The structure of the data shows that there are...
