Deep Learning with R, Third Edition cover

Ready to bring R code into the AI era? Stop switching languages. Build deep learning models in pure R. Master GPT-style transformers and diffusion. Skip complex math. Launch production-ready solutions confidently. 

  • Keras 3 interface: Code modern neural networks with the simplicity R users love.
  • Vision, text, and time series: Apply models that classify images, translate text, and predict demand.
  • Transformers and LLMs: Generate fluent language and summaries without Python detours.
  • Diffusion imagery: Create new pictures and explore generative art inside RStudio.
  • Scaling and tuning: Fine-tune hyperparameters for faster training and top-tier accuracy.
  • Interpretability tools: Explain model decisions to bosses, regulators, and stakeholders. 

Deep Learning with R, Third Edition pairs Keras creator François Chollet with R expert Tomasz Kalinowski to deliver an authoritative guide. 

Step-by-step chapters move from first principles to advanced projects. Clear code, concise explanations, and runnable notebooks keep learning practical. New coverage of transformers, diffusion, and GPT-style language models brings bleeding-edge AI to R. 

By book’s end, you will design, train, and deploy high-performing models, interpret their outputs, and scale them for production. Your R workflow becomes an AI powerhouse. 

Ideal for data scientists and analysts with intermediate R skills who crave modern deep learning capabilities. 

  • The writing is excellent: theoretical concepts introduced (without math) very adequately, balanced mix between "theory" and practice, well-chosen examples, realistic use cases. In a nutshell, this is one of the best writing I have reviewed (or read) over the last 5 years at Manning.
