Not Hotdog: A Shiny app using the Custom Vision API

I had a great time at the EARL Conference in London last week, and as always came away invigorated by all of the applications of R that were presented there. I'll do a full writeup of the conference later this week, but in the meantime I wanted to share the materials from my own presentation there, "Not Hotdog: Image Recognition with R and the Custom Vision API". I've embedded the slides below: This is an embedded Microsoft Office presentation, powered by Office Online. In the presentation, I showed how easy it is to build a Shiny app to perform image recognition with the Custom Vision API in Azure. I've provided all of the R code behind the app in this GitHub repository, and thanks to the httr package it takes just a few lines of R code to interface with the API to upload images, train a transfer learning model, and classify new images. It's also handy to be able to use the customvision.ai web portal to review your tagged images and model performance.  This was my first time building a Shiny app, and it was really easy to learn how to do it thanks to the RStudio tutorials. One feature that proved particularly useful was reactive expressions, which would cache the results of the prediction and prevent a call out to the API every time I touched the "threshold" slider. The prediction API is rate-limited, and this way it was only called when the user actually changes the image URL, a relatively rare event. In all, it took me less than a day to learn Shiny and create the application below. Here it is correctly classifying this image of a hotdog (source), and correctly identifying that this hot dog (source) is not a hotdog. If you want to try this out yourself, all you'll need is an Azure subscription (new subscribers can also get $200 free credits) and the R code in the repository below.

Controlling legend appearance in ggplot2 with override.aes

[This article was first published on Very statisticious on Very statisticious , and kindly contributed to R-bloggers ]. (You can report issue about the content on this page here ) Want to share your content on R-bloggers? click here if you have a blog, or here if you don't. In ggplot2 , aesthetics and their scale_*() functions change both the plot appearance and the plot legend appearance simultaneously. The override.aes argument in guide_legend() allows the user to change only the legend appearance without affecting the rest of the plot. This is useful for making the legend more readable or for creating certain types of combined legends. In this post I’ll first introduce override.aes with a basic example and then go through three additional plotting scenarios to how other instances where override.aes comes in handy. Table of Contents R packages Introducing override.aes Adding a guides() layer Using the guide argument in scale_*() Changing multiple aesthetic par...

Using RStudio and LaTeX

(This article was first published on r – Experimental Behaviour , and kindly contributed to R-bloggers) This post will explain how to integrate RStudio and LaTeX, especially the inclusion of well-formatted tables and nice-looking graphs and figures produced in RStudio and imported to LaTeX. To follow along you will need RStudio, MS Excel and LaTeX. Using tikzdevice to insert R Graphs into LaTeX I am a very visual thinker. If I want to understand a concept I usually and subconsciously try to visualise it. Therefore, more my PhD I tried to transport a lot of empirical insights by means of  visualization . These range from histograms, or violin plots to show distributions, over bargraphs including error bars to compare means, to interaction- or conditional effects of regression models. For quite a while it was very tedious to include such graphs in LaTeX documents. I tried several ways, like saving them as pdf and then including them in LaTeX as pdf, or any other file ...
