TensorFlow and Keras in R

R is an open source platform that includes an environment and a language for statistical computing. It also has a desktop and web-based IDE known as R Studio. More information about R is available at the following link: https://www.r-project.org/. R provides support for TensorFlow and Keras by providing the following R packages:

• tensorflow package offers support for the TF core API
• tfestimators package provides support for the TF estimators API
• keras package provides support for the Keras API
• tfruns package for the TensorBoard-style visualization of models and training sessions

In this chapter, we shall learn how to use TensorFlow in R and will cover the following topics:

• Installing TensorFlow and Keras packages in R
• TF core API in R
• TF estimator API in R
• Keras API in R
• TensorBoard in R
• tfruns package in R
