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.

Reviewing results

In this section, we will review the network losses that were obtained from 100 iterations. We will also take a look at the progress of using fake images from iteration 1 to 100.

Discriminator and GAN losses

The discriminator and GAN loss values that were obtained from our 100 iterations can be plotted as follows. The discriminator loss is based on the loss values for the fake and real images:

From the preceding plot, we can make the following observations:

  • The loss values for the discriminator network and the GAN show high variability during the first 20 iterations. This variability is an outcome of the learning process.
  • The discriminator and generator networks are competing against each other and trying...
