In parsnip: A Common API to Modeling and Analysis Functions

Multilayer perceptron via keras

Description

keras_mlp() fits a single layer, feed-forward neural network.

Details

For this engine, there are multiple modes: classification and regression

Tuning Parameters

This model has 5 tuning parameters:

• hidden_units: # Hidden Units (type: integer, default: 5L)

• penalty: Amount of Regularization (type: double, default: 0.0)

• dropout: Dropout Rate (type: double, default: 0.0)

• epochs: # Epochs (type: integer, default: 20L)

• activation: Activation Function (type: character, default: ‘softmax’)

Translation from parsnip to the original package (regression)

mlp(
  hidden_units = integer(1),
  penalty = double(1),
  dropout = double(1),
  epochs = integer(1),
  activation = character(1)
) %>%  
  set_engine("keras") %>% 
  set_mode("regression") %>% 
  translate()

## Main Arguments:

Preprocessing requirements

Factor/categorical predictors need to be converted to numeric values (e.g., dummy or indicator variables) for this engine. When using the formula method via fit(), parsnip will convert factor columns to indicators.

Predictors should have the same scale. One way to achieve this is to center and scale each so that each predictor has mean zero and a variance of one.

Case weights

The underlying model implementation does not allow for case weights.

Saving fitted model objects

Models fitted with this engine may require native serialization methods to be properly saved and/or passed between R sessions. To learn more about preparing fitted models for serialization, see the bundle package.

Examples

The “Fitting and Predicting with parsnip” article contains examples for mlp() with the "keras" engine.
