Overview of this book

If you are looking to build data science models that are good for production, Java has come to the rescue. With the aid of strong libraries such as MLlib, Weka, DL4j, and more, you can efficiently perform all the data science tasks you need to. This unique book provides modern recipes to solve your common and not-so-common data science-related problems. We start with recipes to help you obtain, clean, index, and search data. Then you will learn a variety of techniques to analyze, learn from, and retrieve information from data. You will also understand how to handle big data, learn deeply from data, and visualize data. Finally, you will work through unique recipes that solve your problems while taking data science to production, writing distributed data science applications, and much more - things that will come in handy at work.

Preface

Clustering data points using the KMeans algorithm


In this recipe, we will be using the KMeans algorithm to cluster or group data points of a dataset together.

How to do it...

  1. We will be using the cpu dataset to cluster its data points based on a simple KMeans algorithm. The cpu dataset can be found in the data directory of the installed folder in the Weka directory.

    We will be having two instance variables as in the previous recipes. The first variable will be containing the data points of the cpu dataset, and the second variable will be our Simple KMeans clusterer:

            Instances cpu = null; 
            SimpleKMeans kmeans; 
    
  2. Then, we will be creating a method to load the cpu dataset, and to read its contents. Please note that as clustering is an unsupervised method, we do not need to specify the class attribute of our dataset:

            public void loadArff(String arffInput){ 
              DataSource source = null; 
              try { 
                source = new DataSource(arffInput...
