Advanced Machine Learning with R

Building AEs with the H2O library in R

We will be using the AE implementation available in H2O for our project. H2O is a fully open source, distributed, in-memory ML platform with linear scalability. It offers parallelized implementations of some of the most widely used ML algorithms. It supports an easy to use, unsupervised, and non-linear AE as part of its deep learning model. The DL AE of H2O is based on the multilayer neural net architecture, where the entire network is trained together, instead of being stacked layer by layer.

The h2o package can be installed in R with the following command:

install.packages("h2o")

Additional details on the installation and dependencies of H2O in R are available at this URL: https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/h2o/index.html ...
