Training a neural network is a computationally intensive process that requires a significant amount of time. As the size of the data increases and the neural network gets deep, training deep learning models become more complex and requires more computing power and memory. To train our models efficiently, we can use a modern system with GPU capabilities. Deep learning libraries in R provide support for training models on multiple GPUs to accelerate the training process. We can also use cloud computing to build deep learning models. Cloud infrastructure scales efficiently and allows users to prototype them faster at a cheaper cost and optimized performance. The pay-per-use model offered by most of the cloud-based solutions makes life much more comfortable as one can quickly scale. This chapter will help you to gain an understanding...

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.
