Deep Learning with R · Rajiv Shah's Projects Blog

For R users, there hasn't been a production grade solution for deep learning (sorry MXNET). This post introduces the Keras interface for R and how it can be used to perform image classification. The post ends by providing some code snippets that show Keras is intuitive and powerful . Last January, Tensorflow for R was released, which provided access to the Tensorflow API from R. This was signficant, as Tensorflow is the most popular library for deep learning. However, for most R users, the Tensorflow for R interface was not very R like.
