Deep learning has transformed many traditional businesses, such as web search, advertising, and many more. A major challenge with the traditional machine learning approaches is that we need to spend a considerable amount of time choosing the most appropriate feature selection process before modeling. Besides this, these traditional techniques operate with some level of human intervention and guidance. However, with deep learning algorithms, we can get rid of the overhead of explicit feature selection since it is taken care of by the models themselves. These deep learning algorithms are capable of modeling complex and non-linear relationships within the data. In this book, we'll introduce you to how to set up a deep learning ecosystem in R. Deep neural networks use sophisticated mathematical...

Overview of this book
Deep learning (DL) has evolved in recent years with developments such as generative adversarial networks (GANs), variational autoencoders (VAEs), and deep reinforcement learning. This book will get you up and running with R 3.5.x to help you implement DL techniques.
The book starts with the various DL techniques that you can implement in your apps. A unique set of recipes will help you solve binomial and multinomial classification problems, and perform regression and hyperparameter optimization. To help you gain hands-on experience of concepts, the book features recipes for implementing convolutional neural networks (CNNs), recurrent neural networks (RNNs), and Long short-term memory (LSTMs) networks, as well as sequence-to-sequence models and reinforcement learning. You’ll then learn about high-performance computation using GPUs, along with learning about parallel computation capabilities in R. Later, you’ll explore libraries, such as MXNet, that are designed for GPU computing and state-of-the-art DL. Finally, you’ll discover how to solve different problems in NLP, object detection, and action identification, before understanding how to use pre-trained models in DL apps.
By the end of this book, you’ll have comprehensive knowledge of DL and DL packages, and be able to develop effective solutions for different DL problems.
