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 steps for developing a convolutional recurrent neural network for author classification based on articles that they have written. Convolutional recurrent neural networks combine the advantages of two networks into one network. On one hand, convolutional networks can capture high-level local features from the data, while, on the other hand, recurrent networks can capture long-term dependencies in the data involving sequences.

First, convolutional recurrent neural networks extract features using a one-dimensional convolutional layer. These extracted features are then passed to the LSTM recurrent layer to obtain hidden long-term dependencies, which are then passed to a fully connected dense layer. This dense layer obtains the probability of the correct classification of each author based on the data in the articles. Although we used a convolutional...
