• install R and some dependencies

Currently (2022-02-05), CRAN builds R binaries for Apple silicon using Apple clang (from Command Line Tools for Xcode 12.4) and an experimental build of gfortran.

If you obtain R from CRAN (i.e., here), then you need to replicate CRAN's compiler setup on your system before building R packages that contain C/C++/Fortran code from their sources (and before using Rcpp, etc.). This requirement ensures that your package builds are compatible with R itself.

A further complication is the fact that Apple clang doesn't support OpenMP, so you need to do even more work to compile programs that make use of multithreading. You could circumvent the issue by building R itself and all R packages from sources with LLVM clang, which does support OpenMP, but this approach is onerous and "for experts only". There is another approach that has been tested by a few people, including Simon Urbanek, the maintainer of R for macOS. It is experimental and also "for experts only", but seems to work on my machine and is simpler than trying to build R yourself.

Warning: These instructions come with no warranty and could break at any time. They assume some level of familiarity with C/C++/Fortran program compilation, Makefile syntax, and Unix shells. As usual, sudo at your own risk.

I will try to address compilers and OpenMP support at the same time. I am going to assume that you are starting from nothing. Feel free to skip steps you've already taken, though you might find a fresh start helpful.

I've tested these instructions on a machine running Big Sur, and at least one person has tested them on a machine running Monterey. I would be glad to hear from others.

1. Download an R binary from CRAN here and install. Be sure to select the binary built for Apple silicon.

2. Run

Let's say I'd want to use a geom-only implementation of such a layer. I can make the following (simplified) class/constructor pair. Below, I haven't bothered width_scale or height_scale parameters, just for simplicity.

I further suppose that the order of the channels is arbitrary, which implies that convolution over the channels is probably not meaningful (which you however did not plan to do anyways).

Instead of reformatting the data the way you did, you may want to create a model that takes an image as input and also outputs an "image" containing the classifications for each pixel. I.e. if you have 10 classes and take a (145, 145, 200) image as input, your model would output a (145, 145, 10) image. In that architecture you would not have any fully-connected layers. Your output layer would also be a convolutional layer.

That however means that you will not be able to keep your current architecture. That is because the tasks for MNIST/CIFAR10 and your hyperspectral dataset are not the same. For MNIST/CIFAR10 you want to classify an image in it's entirety, while for the other dataset you want to assign a class to each pixel (while most likely also using the pixels around each pixel).

Some further ideas:

• If you want to turn the pixel classification task on the hyperspectral dataset into a classification task for an entire image, maybe you can reformulate that task as "classifying a hyperspectral image as the class of it's center (or top-left, or bottom-right, or (21th, 104th), or whatever) pixel". To obtain the data from your single hyperspectral image, for each pixel, I would shift the image such that the target pixel is at the desired location (e.g. the center). All pixels that "fall off" the border could be inserted at the other side of the image.
• If you want to stick with a pixel classification task but need more data, maybe split up the single hyperspectral image you have into many smaller images (e.g. 10x10x200). You may even want to use images of many different sizes. If you model only has convolution and pooling layers and you make sure to maintain the sizes of the image, that should work out.

The key is this section of the code:

Below script can automate least part of your problem by writing all function sources into separate and appropriately named .R files. This code will also take care of hidden functions.
