torch for optimization
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.
Audio classification with torch
Learn how to classify speech utterances with torch, making use of domain knowledge and deep learning. This post is a condensed version of the corresponding chapter in the forthcoming book, Deep Learning and Scientific Computing with R torch, to be published by CRC Press.
Que haja luz: More light for torch!
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 to TensorFlow: It provides both a streamlined workflow and powerful ways for customization.
Five ways to do least squares (with torch)
Get to know torch’s linalg module, all while learning about different ways to do least-squares regression from scratch. This post is a condensed version of the corresponding chapter in the forthcoming book, Deep Learning and Scientific Computing with R torch, to be published by CRC Press.
sparklyr 1.7: New data sources and spark_apply() capabilities, better interfaces for sparklyr extensions, and more!
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.
Discrete Fourier Transform – with torch
About the Fourier Transform, it has been said that it is one of the greatest wonders of the universe. At the same time, it can be realized in a mere half-dozen lines of code. Even if in the end, you’re just going to call torch’s built-in functions directly, it helps to understand, and be able
sparklyr.sedona: A sparklyr extension for analyzing geospatial data
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.

torch 0.9.0
torch v0.9.0 is now on CRAN. This version adds support for ARM systems running macOS, and brings significant performance improvements.
Starting to think about AI Fairness
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 last not least the impression that everyone else seems to know what they’re talking about. This text hopes to counteract some of that confusion by
