This document provides an introduction to deep learning in R. It defines artificial intelligence, machine learning, and deep learning. Deep learning uses multi-layered neural networks to learn data representations without requiring manual feature extraction. It notes that large datasets, powerful computers/GPUs, and new techniques for handling gradients have enabled recent advances in deep learning. Several R libraries for deep learning are listed, including Keras. An example sentiment analysis using Keras is shown, demonstrating defining and training a model on movie reviews to predict sentiment.
