Deep Learning with R for Beginners

By: Mark Hodnett, Joshua F. Wiley, Yuxi (Hayden) Liu, Pablo Maldonado

Overview of this book

Deep learning has a range of practical applications in several domains, while R is the preferred language for designing and deploying deep learning models. This Learning Path introduces you to the basics of deep learning and even teaches you to build a neural network model from scratch. As you make your way through the chapters, you’ll explore deep learning libraries and understand how to create deep learning models for a variety of challenges, right from anomaly detection to recommendation systems. The Learning Path will then help you cover advanced topics, such as generative adversarial networks (GANs), transfer learning, and large-scale deep learning in the cloud, in addition to model optimization, overfitting, and data augmentation. Through real-world projects, you’ll also get up to speed with training convolutional neural networks (CNNs), recurrent neural networks (RNNs), and long short-term memory networks (LSTMs) in R. By the end of this Learning Path, you’ll be well-versed with deep learning and have the skills you need to implement a number of deep learning concepts in your research work or projects.

Chapter 11. The Next Level in Deep Learning

We will begin this chapter by revisiting an image classification task and building a complete image classification solution image files rather than tabular data. We will then move on to explaining transfer learning, where you can use an existing model on a new dataset. Next we discuss an important consideration in any machine learning project - how will your model be used in deployment, that is, production? We will show how to create a REST API that allows any programming language to call a deep learning model in R to predict on new data. We will then move on to briefly discussing two other deep learning topics: Generative Adversarial Networks and reinforcement learning. 

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

  • Building a complete image classification solution
  • The ImageNet dataset
  • Transfer learning
  • Deploying TensorFlow models
  • Generative adversarial networks
  • Reinforcement learning
  • Additional deep learning resources
