In this tutorial, we create a feed forward multi-layer artificial neural network (ANN) in R using the H2O package. We use the neural network to predict whether tumours are benign or malignant, using the breast cancer dataset from the mlbench package. We do all of this using just a few lines of code (which is available here: https://github.com/melissavanbussel/Y...)
From H2O's website:
"H2O is a fully open source, distributed in-memory machine learning platform with linear scalability. H2O supports the most widely used statistical & machine learning algorithms including gradient boosted machines, generalized linear models, deep learning and more."
H2O is available in both R and Python with very similar syntax, making it an ideal choice for data scientists.
