R Deep Learning Essentials - Second Edition

Back to deep learning

Many of the concepts in the previous section apply to deep learning because deep learning is simply neural networks with two or more hidden layers. To demonstrate this, let's look at the following code in R that loads the mxnet deep learning library and calls the help command on the function in that library that trains a deep learning model. Even though we have not trained any models using this library yet, we have already seen many of the parameters in this function:

library(mxnet)?mx.model.FeedForward.create

If you get errors saying the mxnet package is unavailable, see Chapter 1, Getting Started with Deep Learning, for installation instructions. However, we are not running any mxnet code in this chapter, we only want ...
