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 explored image data and a deep neural network image-classification model. We used data from 18 images of bicycles, cars, and airplanes, and carried out appropriate data processing to make the data ready to use with the Keras library. We partitioned image data into training, validation, and test data, and subsequently developed a deep neural model using training data and evaluated its performance by looking at the loss, accuracy, confusion matrix, and probability values for both the training and test data. We also made modifications to the model to improve its classification performance. In addition, we observed that when the confusion matrix provides the same level of performance, prediction probabilities may be able to help in extracting finer differences between the two models.

In the next chapter, we will go over the steps to develop a deep neural...
