Quick and Dirty Guide to Deep Learning in R: for business people (Paperback)

This guide is about two things: 1. Introduce you to the basic concept of Deep Learning. Bear in mind this guide is intended for business people whose main concern is how to practically use the model. So, the explanation will be short, 'punchy', and focusing on the basic idea, not in the mathematical details. 2. Show you how to develop Deep Learning models in R, one of the world's most powerful and comprehensive modelling platforms-which is also free of charge (special thanks to all the good people out there). The intention is not to teach you the best practices of modelling, but to provide 'quick and dirty' codes for you to start building your predictive model in less than five minutes.
