Deep-learning systems now enable previously impossible smart applications, revolutionizing image recognition and natural-language processing, and identifying complex patterns in data. The Keras deep-learning library provides data scientists and developers working in R a state-of-the-art toolset for tackling deep-learning tasks.<br><br><b>About the Book</b><br><br><i>Deep Learning with R</i> introduces the world of deep learning using the powerful Keras library and its R language interface. Initially written for Python as Deep Learning with Python by Keras creator and Google AI researcher François Chollet and adapted for R by RStudio founder J. J. Allaire, this book builds your understanding of deep learning through intuitive explanations and practical examples. You'll practice your new skills with R-based applications in computer vision, natural-language processing, and generative models.<br><br><b>What's Inside</b><br><br><ul><li>Deep learning from first principles</li><li>Setting up your own deep-learning environment</li><li>Image classification and generation</li><li>Deep learning for text and sequences</li></ul><br><b>About the Reader</b><br><br>You'll need intermediate R programming skills.
