About this course

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 Franois Chollet and adapted for R by RStudio founder J. J. Allaire, this course 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.
