Contributions summary:Wouter focused on improving the plotting capabilities within the R interface to Keras. They added a ggplot2 method for plotting training history, fixed a y-range issue, and made smoothing optional. They also updated the documentation and corrected the x-axis breaks to only show integers for clarity. The user's commits demonstrate an ability to work with both R code and documentation.
