Hands-On Deep Learning with R

An RBM example

Here is a simple example using the RBM package. RBMs can be created using the MXNet library. However, we include this package in this book to note when it makes the most sense to train an RBM model using MXNet and when a standalone implementation of the algorithm may be a better fit.

In the following example, we assign the train Fashion MNIST dataset to an object, create an RBM model on this data, and then make a prediction using the modeled results. A detailed exploration of how the RBM algorithm achieves this outcome and suggested applications are included in a future chapter. We will see how simply we can train this model and use it for prediction with a familiar syntax by running the following code:

library(RBM)data(Fashion) ...
