Overview of this book

AI and Deep Learning are transforming the way we understand software, making computers more intelligent than we could even imagine just a decade ago. Deep Learning algorithms are being used across a broad range of industries – as the fundamental driver of AI, being able to tackle Deep Learning is going to a vital and valuable skill not only within the tech world but also for the wider global economy that depends upon knowledge and insight for growth and success. It’s something that’s moving beyond the realm of data science – if you’re a Java developer, this book gives you a great opportunity to expand your skillset. Starting with an introduction to basic machine learning algorithms, to give you a solid foundation, Deep Learning with Java takes you further into this vital world of stunning predictive insights and remarkable machine intelligence. Once you’ve got to grips with the fundamental mathematical principles, you’ll start exploring neural networks and identify how to tackle challenges in large networks using advanced algorithms. You will learn how to use the DL4J library and apply Deep Learning to a range of real-world use cases. Featuring further guidance and insights to help you solve challenging problems in image processing, speech recognition, language modeling, this book will make you rethink what you can do with Java, showing you how to use it for truly cutting-edge predictive insights. As a bonus, you’ll also be able to get to grips with Theano and Caffe, two of the most important tools in Deep Learning today. By the end of the book, you’ll be ready to tackle Deep Learning with Java. Wherever you’ve come from – whether you’re a data scientist or Java developer – you will become a part of the Deep Learning revolution!

Breaking news about deep learning


Deep learning, which triggered the AI boom, can't stop its momentum. New results are reported each day. As mentioned in Chapter 6, Approaches to Practical Applications – Recurrent Neural Networks and More, many researchers compete on image recognition and natural language processing. Of course, deep learning is not limited to these two fields, but applies to many other fields. The outcome of these applications is very exciting.

In this AI boom, in March 2016, the Go world was shaken by one event. Go is a board game in which two players are trying to take over more territory than their opponent. The news of 'AI beating a human in Go' shocked not only Go players but also the whole world, when a machine, that is, AI, beat a human at Go. DeepMind (https://deepmind.com/), which was bought by Google, has been developing the Go-playing AI, called AlphaGo, and AlphaGo has beaten world-class player Lee Sedol for a fourth time, to win the five-game series four games...
