JAX. To use a GPU in the current session, call
use_backend("jax").
get_file() with extract = TRUE
or untar = TRUE, the return value is now the path of the
extracted directory, rather than the path of the archive.Logging is now asynchronous in fit(),
evaluate(), and predict(). This enables 100%
compact stacking of train_step calls on accelerators
(e.g. when running small models on TPU).
on_batch_end, this will disable async logging. You can
re-enable it by adding self$async_safe <- TRUE to your
callbacks. Note that the TensorBoard callback is not considered
async-safe by default. Default callbacks like the progress bar are
async-safe.New bitwise operations:
op_bitwise_and()op_bitwise_invert()op_bitwise_left_shift()op_bitwise_not()op_bitwise_or()op_bitwise_right_shift()op_bitwise_xor()New math operations:

tf.data, the pipeline will also remain tf.data
compatible, regardless of the backend you use.New argument: export_savedmodel(verbose = )
New argument: op_normalize(epsilon = )

New callback_backup_and_restore(), for resuming an
interrupted fit() call.
The merging family of layers (layer_add,
layer_concatenate, etc.) gain the ability to accept layers
in ..., allowing for easier composition of residual blocks
with the pipe %>%. e.g. something like this now
works:
block_1_output <- ...
block_2_output <- block_1_output %>%
layer_conv_2d(64, 3, activation = "relu", padding = "same") %>%
layer_add(block_1_output)model$get_config() method now returns an R object
that can be safely serialized to rds.
keras_array() now reflects unconverted Python
objects. This enables passing objects like pandas.Series()

methods print(), summary(),
str(), and py_str()):
compact. If TRUE (the
default) white-space only lines are stripped out of
model.summary().freeze_weights() and
unfreeze_weights():
which argument that can accept layer
names (as character strings), an integer vector, a boolean vector, or a
function that returns a boolean when called with a layer. (see updated
examples in ?freeze_weightsfrom and to arguments gain the ability to
accept negative integers, to specify layers counting from the end of the
layers list.get_weights() gains a trainable
argument that can accept TRUE or FALSE,
allowing for returning only the unfrozen or frozen weights,
respectively.

Layer is deprecated, superseded by
new_layer_class().

new_layer_class() or similar). Appropriate names for the
supplied objects are automatically inferred.
Fixed an issue where negative values less than -1 supplied to
axis arguments were selecting the wrong axis.

values for the index argument.
Fixed warning from create_layer_wrapper() when the
custom layer didn’t have an overridden initialize or
__init__ method.

is taken as -Inf or Inf, respectively.axis argument can be omitted, in which
case all axes of size 1 are dropped.n argument can now be supplied as a
tensor.k_unstack().KerasTensor objects (e.g, returned by layer_input())
now inherit S3 methods for "tensorflow.tensor".

verbose = "auto", with verbosity adjusted appropriately
based on calls to
keras$utils$disable_interactive_logging(), and contexts
like ParameterServerStrategy.
install_keras() now accepts
version = "release-cpu" as a valid specification.
Breaking change: The semantics of passing a named list to
keras_model() have changed.
Previously, keras_model() would unname()
supplied inputs and outputs. Then, if a named
list was passed to subsequent
fit()/evaluate()/call()/predict()
invocations, matching of x and y was done to
the model’s input and outpt tensor$name’s. Now, matching is
done to names() of inputs and/or
outputs supplied to keras_model(). Call
unname() on inputs and outputs to
restore the old behavior, e.g.:
keras_model(unname(inputs), unname(outputs))
keras_model() can now accept a named list for
multi-input and/or multi-output models. The named list is converted to a
dict in python. (Requires Tensorflow >= 2.4, Python
>= 3.7).
If inputs is a named list:
call(), fit(), evaluate(),
and predict() methods can also accept a named list for
x, with names matching to the names of inputs
when the model was constructed. Positional matching of x is
still also supported (requires python 3.7+).If outputs is a named list:
fit() and evaluate() methods can
only accept a named list for y, with names
matching to the names of outputs when the model was
constructed.New layer layer_depthwise_conv_1d().
Models gain format() and print() S3
methods for compatibility with the latest reticulate. Both are powered
by model$summary().
summary() method for Models gains arguments
expand_nested and show_trainable, both default
to FALSE.
keras_model_custom() is soft deprecated. Please
define custom models by subclassing keras$Model directly
using %py_class% or R6::R6Class().
Fixed warning issued by
k_random_binomial().
Fixed error raised when k_random_binomial() was
passed a non-floating dtype.
Added k_random_bernouli() as an alias for
k_random_binomial().
image_load() gains a color_mode
argument.
Fixed issue where create_layer_wrapper() would not
include arguments with a NULL default value in the returned
wrapper.
Fixed issue in r_to_py.R6ClassGenerator (and
%py_class%) where single-expression initialize
functions defined without { would error.
Deprecated functions are no longer included in the package documentation index.
Default Tensorflow + Keras version is now 2.7.
New API for constructing RNN (Recurrent Neural Network) layers. This is a flexible interface that complements the existing RNN layers. It is primarily intended for advanced / research applications, e.g, prototyping novel architectures. It allows you to compose a RNN with a custom “cell”, a Keras layer that processes one step of a sequence. New symbols:
layer_rnn(), which can compose with builtin cells:rnn_cell_gru()rnn_cell_lstm()rnn_cell_simple()rnn_cells_stack() To learn more, including how to make
a custom cell layer, see the new vignette: “Working with RNNs”.New dataset functions:
text_dataset_from_directory()timeseries_dataset_from_array()New layers:
layer_additive_attention()layer_conv_lstm_1d()layer_conv_lstm_3d()layer_cudnn_gru() and
layer_cudnn_lstm() are deprecated. layer_gru()
and layer_lstm() will automatically use CuDNN if it is
available.
layer_lstm() and layer_gru(): default
value for recurrent_activation changed from
"hard_sigmoid" to "sigmoid".
layer_gru(): default value reset_after
changed from FALSE to TRUE
New vignette: “Transfer learning and fine-tuning”.
New applications:
application_mobilenet_v3_large(),
application_mobilenet_v3_small()application_resnet101(),

bidirectional() sequence processing layer wrapper
gains a backwards_layer arguments.
Global pooling layers
layer_global_{max,average}_pooling_{1,2,3}d() gain a
keepdims argument with default value
FALSE.
Signatures for layer functions are in the process of being
simplified. Standard layer arguments are moving to ...
where appropriate (and will need to be provided as named arguments).
Standard layer arguments include: input_shape,
batch_input_shape, batch_size,
dtype, name, trainable,
weights. Layers updated:
layer_global_{max,average}_pooling_{1,2,3}d(),
time_distributed(), bidirectional(),
layer_gru(), layer_lstm(),
layer_simple_rnn()

NULL in arguments that specify shape as a vector of
dimension values, e.g., input_shape,
batch_input_shape.
k_random_uniform() now automatically casts
minval and maxval to the output
dtype.
install_keras() gains arg with default
pip_ignore_installed = TRUE.
New family of preprocessing layers. These are the
spiritual successor to the tfdatasets::step_* family of
data transformers (to be deprecated in a future release). Added a new
vignette: “Working with Preprocessing Layers”. New functions:
Image preprocessing:
layer_resizing()layer_rescaling()layer_center_crop()Image augmentation:
layer_random_crop()layer_random_flip()layer_random_translation()layer_random_rotation()layer_random_zoom()layer_random_contrast()layer_random_height()layer_random_width()Categorical features preprocessing:
layer_category_encoding()layer_hashing()layer_integer_lookup()layer_string_lookup()Numerical features preprocessing:
layer_normalization()layer_discretization()These join the previous set of text preprocessing functions, each of which have some minor changes:
layer_text_vectorization() (changed arguments)get_vocabulary()set_vocabulary()adapt()adapt() changes:
layer_text_vectorization() instances were valid.reset_state argument is removed. It only ever accepted
the default value of TRUE.batch_size and steps.%>% (previously returned NULL)get_vocabulary() gains a
include_special_tokens argument.
set_vocabulary():
%>% (previously returned NULL)df_data

output_mode change:
"binary" is renamed to "multi_hot" and
"tf-idf" is renamed to "tf_idf" (backwards
compatibility is preserved).output_mode = "int" would incorrectly return a ragged
tensor output shape.Existing layer instances gain the ability to be added to sequential models via a call. E.g.:
layer <- layer_dense(units = 10)
model <- keras_model_sequential(input_shape = c(1,2,3)) %>%
layer()Functions in the merging layer family gain the ability
to return a layer instance if the first argument inputs is
missing. (affected: layer_concatenate(),

layer_dot())
%py_class% gains the ability to delay initializing
the Python session until first use. It is now safe to implement and
export %py_class% objects in an R package.
Fixed an issue in layer_input() where passing a
tensorflow DType objects to argument dtype
would throw an error.
Fixed an issue in compile() where passing an R
function via an in-line call would result in an error from subsequent
fit() calls. (e.g.,
compile(loss = function(y_true, y_pred) my_loss(y_true, y_pred))
now succeeds)
clone_model() gains a clone_function
argument that allows you to customize each layer as it is
cloned.
Bumped minimum R version to 3.4. Expanded CI to test on all supported R version. Fixed regression that prevented package installation on R <= 3.4
Breaking changes (Tensorflow 2.6): - Note: The following breaking
changes are specific to Tensorflow version 2.6.0. However, the keras R
package maintains compatibility with multiple versions of
Tensorflow/Keras. You can upgrade the R package and still preserve the
previous behavior by installing a specific version of Tensorflow:
keras3::install_keras(tensorflow="2.4.0")
predict_proba() and predict_classes() were
removed.model_to_yaml() and model_from_yaml() were
removed.layer_text_vectorization(pad_to_max_tokens=FALSE)set_vocabulary() arguments df_data and
oov_df_value are removed. They are replaced by the new
argument idf_weights.New Features:
Default Tensorflow/Keras version is now 2.6
Introduced %py_class%, an R-language constructor for
Python classes.
New vignettes:
%py_class%.The keras Python module is exported
Major changes to the underlying handling of custom R6 layer classes.
r_to_py() method is provided for
R6ClassGenerator objects.r_to_py(), without going
through create_layer().KerasLayer is deprecated (new classes should inherit
directly from keras$layers$Layer).KerasWrapper is deprecated (new classes should inherit
directly from keras$layers$Wrapper).create_wrapper() is deprecated (no longer needed, use
create_layer() directly).super in scope that resolves to the Python super class
object.super can be accessed in the 3 common ways:
super()$"__init__"()super(ClassName, self)$"__init__"()super$initialize()super()$`__init__`(...) if
appropriate.supports_masking = TRUE attribute is now supportedcompute_mask() user defined method is now
supportedcall() methods now support a training
argument, as well as any additional arbitrary user-defined
argumentsLayer() custom layer constructor is now lazy about
initializing the Python session and safe to use on the top level of an R
package (#1229).
New function create_layer_wrapper() that can create
a composing R function wrapper around a custom layer class.
Refactored install_keras() (along with
tensorflow::install_tensorflow()). Installation should be
more reliable for more users now. If you encounter installation issues,
please file an issue: https://github.com/rstudio/keras/issues/new
Potentially breaking change: numeric versions supplied without a
patchlevel now automatically pull the latest patch release.
(e.g. install_keras(tensorflow="2.4") will install
tensorflow version “2.4.2”. Previously it would install
“2.4.0”)
pandas is now a default extra packages installed by
install_keras()
pyyaml is no longer a installed by default if the Tensorflow version >= 2.6.
Loss functions:
All the loss functions gain the ability to return a callable (a
keras$losses$Loss instance) if y_true and
y_pred arguments are missing.
New builtin loss functions:
loss_huber()loss_kl_divergence()Metric functions:
All the metric functions gain the ability to return a
keras$metrics$Metric instance if called without
y_true and y_pred
Each metric function is now documented separately, with a common
?Metric topic demonstrating example usage.
New built-in metrics:
metric_true_negatives()metric_true_positives()metric_false_negatives()metric_false_positives()metric_specificity_at_sensitivity()metric_sensitivity_at_specificity()metric_precision()metric_precision_at_recall()metric_sum()metric_recall()metric_recall_at_precision()metric_root_mean_squared_error()metric_sparse_categorical_accuracy()metric_mean_tensor()metric_mean_wrapper()metric_mean_iou()metric_mean_relative_error()metric_logcosh_error()metric_mean()metric_cosine_similarity()metric_categorical_hinge()metric_accuracy()metric_auc()keras_model_sequential() gains the ability to accept
arguments that define the input layer like input_shape and
dtype. See ?keras_model_sequential for details
and examples.
Many layers gained new arguments, coming to parity with the interface available in the latest Python version:
| layer name | new argument |
|---|---|
layer_gru |
time_major |
layer_lstm |
time_major |
layer_max_pooling_1d |

The compile() method for keras models has been
updated:
optimizer is now an optional argument. It defaults to
"rmsprop" for regular keras models. Custom models can
specify their own default optimizer.loss is now an optional argument.run_eagerly,
steps_per_execution.target_tensors and sample_weight_mode must
now be supplied as named arguments.Added activation functions swish and gelu. (#1226)
