Today, we want to call attention to a highly useful package in the torch ecosystem: torchopt. It extends torch by providing a set of popular optimization algorithms not available in...continue reading.
Sometimes, a software’s best feature is the one you’ve added yourself. This post shows by example why you may want to extend torch, and how to proceed. It also explains...continue reading.
For keras, the last two releases have brought important new functionality, in terms of both low-level infrastructure and workflow enhancements. This post focuses on an outstanding example of the latter...continue reading.
It’s been a while since this blog featured content about Keras for R, so you might’ve thought that the project was dormant. It’s not! In fact, Keras for R is...continue reading.
We train a model for image segmentation in R, using torch together with luz, its high-level interface. We then JIT-trace the model on example input, so as to obtain an...continue reading.
Geometric deep learning is a “program” that aspires to situate deep learning architectures and techniques in a framework of mathematical priors. The priors, such as various types of invariance, first...continue reading.
Using the torch just-in-time (JIT) compiler, it is possible to query a model trained in R from a different language, provided that language can make use of the low-level libtorch...continue reading.
The topic of AI fairness metrics is as important to society as it is confusing. Confusing it is due to a number of reasons: terminological proliferation, abundance of formulae, and...continue reading.
We are excited to announce the availability of sparklyr.sedona, a sparklyr extension making geospatial functionalities of the Apache Sedona library easily accessible from R.continue reading.
Sparklyr 1.7 delivers much-anticipated improvements, including R interfaces for image and binary data sources, several new spark_apply() capabilities, and better integration with sparklyr extensions.continue reading.
Today, we’re introducing luz, a high-level interface to torch that lets you train neural networks in a concise, declarative style. In some sense, it is to torch what Keras is...continue reading.
Torch is not just for deep learning. Its L-BFGS optimizer, complete with Strong-Wolfe line search, is a powerful tool in unconstrained as well as constrained optimization.continue reading.
The sparklyr 1.6 release introduces weighted quantile summaries, an R interface to power iteration clustering, spark_write_rds(), as well as a number of dplyr-related improvements.continue reading.
We conclude our mini-series on time-series forecasting with torch by augmenting last time’s sequence-to-sequence architecture with a technique both immensely popular in natural language processing and inspired by human (and...continue reading.
In our overview of techniques for time-series forecasting, we move on to sequence-to-sequence models. Architectures in this family are commonly used in natural language processing (NLP) tasks, such as machine...continue reading.
We continue our exploration of time-series forecasting with torch, moving on to architectures designed for multi-step prediction. Here, we augment the “workhorse RNN” by a multi-layer perceptron (MLP) to extrapolate...continue reading.
This post is an introduction to time-series forecasting with torch. Central topics are data input, and practical usage of RNNs (GRUs/LSTMs). Upcoming posts will build on this, and introduce increasingly...continue reading.
Last month, we conducted our first survey on mlverse software, covering topics ranging from area of application through software usage to user wishes and suggestions. In addition, the survey asked...continue reading.
