R Machine Learning Projects

By: Dr. Sunil Kumar Chinnamgari

Overview of this book

R is one of the most popular languages when it comes to performing computational statistics (statistical computing) easily and exploring the mathematical side of machine learning. With this book, you will leverage the R ecosystem to build efficient machine learning applications that carry out intelligent tasks within your organization. This book will help you test your knowledge and skills, guiding you on how to build easily through to complex machine learning projects. You will first learn how to build powerful machine learning models with ensembles to predict employee attrition. Next, you’ll implement a joke recommendation engine and learn how to perform sentiment analysis on Amazon reviews. You’ll also explore different clustering techniques to segment customers using wholesale data. In addition to this, the book will get you acquainted with credit card fraud detection using autoencoders, and reinforcement learning to make predictions and win on a casino slot machine. By the end of the book, you will be equipped to confidently perform complex tasks to build research and commercial projects for automated operations.

The Road Ahead

Summary

In this chapter, we learned about an unsupervised deep learning technique called AEs. We covered the definition, working principle, types, and applications of AEs. H2O, an open source library that enables us to create deep learning models, including AEs, was explored. We then discussed a credit card fraud open dataset and implemented a project with an AE to detect fraudulent credit card transactions.

Can deep neural networks help with creative tasks such as prose generation, story writing, caption generation for images, and poem writing? Not sure?! Let's explore RNNs, in the next chapter, a special type of deep neural network that enables us to accomplish creative tasks. Turn the page to explore the world of RNNs for prose generation.
