Java: Data Science Made Easy

By: Richard M. Reese, Jennifer L. Reese, Alexey Grigorev

Overview of this book

Data science is concerned with extracting knowledge and insights from a wide variety of data sources to analyse patterns or predict future behaviour. It draws from a wide array of disciplines including statistics, computer science, mathematics, machine learning, and data mining. In this course, we cover the basic as well as advanced data science concepts and how they are implemented using the popular Java tools and libraries.The course starts with an introduction of data science, followed by the basic data science tasks of data collection, data cleaning, data analysis, and data visualization. This is followed by a discussion of statistical techniques and more advanced topics including machine learning, neural networks, and deep learning. You will examine the major categories of data analysis including text, visual, and audio data, followed by a discussion of resources that support parallel implementation. Throughout this course, the chapters will illustrate a challenging data science problem, and then go on to present a comprehensive, Java-based solution to tackle that problem. You will cover a wide range of topics – from classification and regression, to dimensionality reduction and clustering, deep learning and working with Big Data. Finally, you will see the different ways to deploy the model and evaluate it in production settings. By the end of this course, you will be up and running with various facets of data science using Java, in no time at all. This course contains premium content from two of our recently published popular titles: - Java for Data Science - Mastering Java for Data Science

Understanding the application's architecture


Every application has its own unique structure, or architecture. This architecture provides the overarching organization or framework for the application. For this application, we combine the three classes using a Java 8 stream in the ApplicationDriver class. This class consists of three methods:

  • ApplicationDriver: Contains the applications' user input
  • performAnalysis: Performs the analysis
  • main: Creates the ApplicationDriver instance

 

The class structure is shown next. The three instance variables are used to control the processing:

public class ApplicationDriver { 
    private String topic; 
    private String subTopic; 
    private int numberOfTweets; 

    public ApplicationDriver() { ... } 
    public void performAnalysis() { ...     } 

    public static void main(String[] args) { 
        new ApplicationDriver(); 
    } 
} 

The ApplicationDriver constructor follows. A Scanner instance is created and the sentiment analysis model is built:
