Submit: Submit four Quarto Notebooks or shared Colab Notebooks. You can share the Colab Notebooks with me by providing the links in Canvas. If you use Quarto Notebooks, you can submit both your .qmd and .html files. If you use Jupyter Notebooks, you can submit both your .ipynb and .html files. To have your work visible in Canvas your Notebooks need to be .html. I will not be running your .qmd or .ipynb files to view your work.

When installing the R package keras3, you can use this website as a reference.

https://keras3.posit.co to an external site.

Please note that there should be only three steps

  1. Install the package keras3

  2. load the library, library(keras3)

  3. Run this command to install the python virtual environment, install_keras(backend = “tensorflow”)

You should only run the install_keras() function one time. Do not put this command into an R code chunk in an R Quarto Notebook. This will likely cause problem because it will reinstall everything every time you Render the Notebook. You should run this command only once in the R Console.
