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.

Fitting the model

The code for fitting the model is as follows:

# Fit model
model_one <- model %>% fit(train_x, train_y,
epochs = 10,
batch_size = 128,
validation_split = 0.2)

For fitting the model, we will make use of a 20% validation split, which uses 20,000 movie review data from training data for building the model. The remaining 5,000 movie review training data is used for assessing validation in the form of loss and accuracy. We run 10 epochs with a batch size of 128.

When using a validation split, it is important to note that, with 20%, it uses the first 80% of the training data for training and the last 20% of the training data for validation. Thus, if the first 50% of the review data was negative and the last 50% was positive, the 20% validation split will cause model validation to be based only on positive reviews. Therefore, before using...
