Neural Networks and Deep Learning

"Some people worry that artificial intelligence will make us feel inferior, but then, anybody in his right mind should have an inferiority complex every time he looks at a flower."
– Alan Kay

There is a new gold rush going on, but this time gold means deep learning. Brand-new start-ups and traditional enterprises are looking toward Neural Networks (NN) and deep learning. As one of the most powerful programming languages for data scientists, R is sailing on this tide.

One of the most promising backend deep learning engines is TensorFlow from Google. Keras permits the user to work with TensorFlow and some other great engines, allowing fast experimentation. Simple codes and a wide variety of modern neural architectures...
