Overview of this book

Deep learning is a branch of machine learning based on a set of algorithms that attempt to model high-level abstractions in data. Advanced Deep Learning with R will help you understand popular deep learning architectures and their variants in R, along with providing real-life examples for them. This deep learning book starts by covering the essential deep learning techniques and concepts for prediction and classification. You will learn about neural networks, deep learning architectures, and the fundamentals for implementing deep learning with R. The book will also take you through using important deep learning libraries such as Keras-R and TensorFlow-R to implement deep learning algorithms within applications. You will get up to speed with artificial neural networks, recurrent neural networks, convolutional neural networks, long short-term memory networks, and more using advanced examples. Later, you'll discover how to apply generative adversarial networks (GANs) to generate new images; autoencoder neural networks for image dimension reduction, image de-noising and image correction and transfer learning to prepare, define, train, and model a deep neural network. By the end of this book, you will be ready to implement your knowledge and newly acquired skills for applying deep learning algorithms in R through real-world examples.

Early stopping of network training

When training a network, we specify the number of epochs we need in advance, without knowing how many epochs will actually be needed. If we specify the number of epochs to be too few compared to what is actually required, we may have to train the network again by specifying more epochs. On the other hand, if we specify too many more epochs than what are actually needed, then this may lead to an overfitting situation and we may have to retrain the network by reducing the number of epochs. This trial and error approach can be very time-consuming for applications where each epoch takes a long time to complete. In such situations, we can make use of callbacks that can help stop the network training at a suitable time.

To illustrate this problem, let's develop a classification model with the CTG data from Chapter 2, Deep Neural Networks for Multi...
