1-day Deep Learning with R workshop at RStudio::conf 2019

## Essentials

### Target audience

- Data scientists proficient in R and machine learning.

### Goals

- Introduce data scientists to the fundamentals of deep learning
- How to implement ANN, CNN and RNN architectures in R using the `keras` package
- How to identify and avoid common pitfalls.

### Practical Component

- Hands-on, application of deep learning to solve problems in supervised machine learning (regression and classification using multivariate data, images and text).

### Slides

The slides shown during the presentation can be found [here](http://scavetta.academy/DLwR/Presentation/SCAVETTA%2C%20Rick%20--%20Intro%20to%20Deep%20Learning%20--%20RStudioConf2019.pdf).

### Data

The data sets can be found online here:

- [Dogs & Cats](https://www.kaggle.com/c/dogs-vs-cats)
- [Malaria Cell Images](https://www.kaggle.com/iarunava/cell-images-for-detecting-malaria)
- [Labradoodle versus Fried Chicken](https://github.com/yl3394/labradoodle-vs-friedchicken-imgclassification)

I've also made them available on my server in the same format used in the exercises (train, validation and test folders):
