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.

Visualizing model training with tfruns

When we run a deep network model using Keras, we can make use of tfruns to visualize a loss and accuracy plot, as well as other model-related summaries. Although we can also obtain the plot and related summaries when required, the main advantage of using tfruns is that we can obtain them all in one place. We can make use of the following code to achieve this:

library(tfruns)
training_run("mlp_ctg.R")

In the preceding code, the R file that's being referenced contains the code to run model_one from Chapter 2, Deep Neural Networks for Multi-Class Classification. The mlp_ctg.R file may be stored on the computer when we run the code. As soon as we have run the code, the following interactive screen is automatically presented:

The page shown in the preceding screenshot provides the following:
