In this post, I explore torch – a package for R that mirrors the PyTorch framework for deep learning. Motivation I’ve been a bit reluctant to join in on the deep learning hype for some time. Much of this I attribute to my lack of enthusiasm toward Python frameworks for deep learning. Don’t get me wrong. Tensorflow + Keras offers an intuitive API for neural nets, but can I just be frank and say I like R better for everything else?
