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.

Summary

In this chapter, we illustrated the use of the recurrent neural network model for text sentiment classification using IMDb movie review data. Compared to a regular densely connected network, recurrent neural networks are better suited to deal with data that has sequences in it. Text data is one such example that we worked with in this chapter.

In general, deep networks involve many factors or variables, and this calls for some amount of experimentation involving making changes to the levels for such factors before arriving at a useful model. In this chapter, we also developed five different movie review sentiment classification models.

A variant of recurrent neural networks that has become popular is Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks. LSTM networks are capable of learning long-term dependencies and help recurrent networks remember inputs for a longer time.
