Deep Learning with R [Video]

By: Vincenzo Lomonaco

Overview of this book

<p>Deep learning refers to artificial neural networks that are composed of many layers. Deep learning is a powerful set of techniques for finding accurate information from raw data.</p> <p>This tutorial will teach you how to leverage deep learning to make sense of your raw data by exploring various hidden layers of data. Each section in this course provides a clear and concise introduction of a key topic, one or more example of implementations of these concepts in R, and guidance for additional learning, exploration, and application of the skills learned therein. You will start by understanding the basics of Deep Learning and Artificial neural Networks and move on to exploring advanced ANN’s and RNN’s. You will deep dive into Convolutional Neural Networks and Unsupervised Learning. You will also learn about the applications of Deep Learning in various fields and understand the practical implementations of Scalability, HPC and Feature Engineering.</p> <p>Starting out at a basic level, users will be learning how to develop and implement Deep Learning algorithms using R in real world scenarios.</p> <h1>Style and Approach</h1> <p>This video lecture series simplifies otherwise incredibly dense topics with clear, concise explanations and reproducible, hands-on examples. No prior knowledge of deep learning is assumed, but learners gain intermediate proficiency by the end of the course.</p>

Tuning ANNs Hyper-Parameters and Best Practices
The goal of this video is to learn the best practices for tuning the hyper-parameters of an ANN and being able to generalize well on the data we have never seen before. This would be the latest essential skill to acquire in order to get the best out of our ANN solution. - Tuning the hyper-parameters: Why is it important? - Understand the problem of overfitting and how to avoid it. - Train and validate end test split to accurately evaluate the performance of our model.
