about the technology

Machine learning has made remarkable progress in recent years. 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.

about the book

Deep Learning with R 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.

The clearest explanation of deep learning I have come across...it was a joy to read.

Richard Tobias, Cephasonics

An excellent hands-on introductory title, with great depth and breadth.

David Blumenthal-Barby, Babbel

Bridges the gap between the hype and a functioning deep-learning system.

Peter Rabinovitch, Akamai

All major topics and concepts of deep learning are covered and well explained, using code examples and diagrams instead of mathematical formulas.
