R Deep Learning Essentials - Second Edition

Using Paperspace for deep learning

Paperspace is another interesting way to perform deep learning in the cloud. It might be the easiest way to train deep learning models in the cloud. To set up a cloud instance with Paperspace, you can log in to their console, provision a new machine, and connect to it from your web browser:

1. Start by signing up for a Paperspace account, log in to the console, and go into the Virtual Machine section by selecting Core or Compute.
