Kerasr: R Interface To The Keras Deep Learning Library

Keras is a high-level neural networks API, originally written in Python, and capable of running on top of either TensorFlow or Theano. This package provides an interface to Keras from within R, allowing users to access the entire Keras API and load popular pre-trained models such as VGG-19, ResNet50, and Inception. The package contains examples and documentation to help users understand and apply the API.

Summary
Keras is a high-level neural networks API, originall written in Python, and capable of running on top of
either TensorFlow or Theano. It was developed with a focus on enabling fast experimentation. This package
provides an interface to Keras from within R. All of the returned objects from functions in this package are
either native R objects or raw pointers to python objects, making it possible for users to access the entire
keras API. The main benefits of the package are (1) correct, manual parsing of R inputs to python, (2)
R-sided documentation, and (3) examples written using the API. It allows, amongst other things, users to
load and run popular pre-trained models such as VGG-19 (He et al. 2015), ResNet50 (He et al. 2016), and
Inception (Szegedy et al. 2015).
Most functions have associated examples showing a working example of how a layer or object may be used.
These are mostly toy examples, made with small datasets with little regard to whether these are the correct
models for a particular task. See the package vignettes for a more thorough explaination and several larger,
more practical examples.
