[Unsupported Extension Notice] - The Deep Learning extension is not officially supported by Altair RapidMiner. While we're always improving and updating our offerings, we can't guarantee any help or fixes for this extension.

 

This extension provides operators to create and adapt Deep Learning models using different types of layers. Networks can be executed both on CPU and on GPU. It requires the ND4J Back End Extension for configuration of computational resources.

Version 1.2.1

• Fixed faulty error messages
• Fixed tutorial process with missing sample data
• Upgraded ND4J extension dependency: 1.2.0

Version 1.2.0

Change of concepts: The loss function is no longer configured through the Deep Learning operator, but instead in the new output layer. There is now a dedicated output layer, which comes with an automatic mode.

• Added Autoencoding Operator with an option to suggest the decoder side for certain encoder architectures.
• Added Output Layer with automatic mode: LossFunction moved from Deep Learning Operator to Output Layer Operator.
• Added Activation Layer as an explicit Option.
• Added GELU activation function.
• Added MISH activation function.
• Added padding to convolutional layer operator.
• Added padding to pooling layer operator.
• Added dilation to convolutional layer operator.

Version 1.1.2

• Fixed Belt Table support for the "Import Existing Model" and "Fine-Tune Model" operators.
• Fixed incorrect documentation of the LeNet model in the "Import Existing Model" operator.

Version 1.1.1

• Added support for Belt Tables (the new data structure for tabular data in RapidMiner).

Version 1.1.0

• Added support for transfer learning.
• Added "Import Existing Model" operator to download pre-trained models, or just their architecture from a variety of pre-trained models. This operator also adjust input shapes based on user data.
• Added "Fine-Tune Model" operator to change the architecture of existing models and continue training.
• Added support for non-sequential models to the "Read Keras Model" operator.
• Breaking change: models stored in previous versions, are incompatible with this version. Please contact us if this causes issues.

Remarks:

•    Execution on GPU is currently only available on NVIDIA GPUs in combination with an appropriate CUDA installation (see above which version exactly).
•    This extension uses the java library DeepLearning4J (version DL4J-M1.1).
•    No support for 32-bit.
