Overview of this book

As the amount of data in the world continues to grow at an almost incomprehensible rate, being able to understand and process data is becoming a key differentiator for competitive organizations. Machine learning applications are everywhere, from self-driving cars, spam detection, document search, and trading strategies, to speech recognition. This makes machine learning well-suited to the present-day era of big data and Data Science. The main challenge is how to transform data into actionable knowledge. Machine Learning in Java will provide you with the techniques and tools you need. You will start by learning how to apply machine learning methods to a variety of common tasks including classification, prediction, forecasting, market basket analysis, and clustering. The code in this book works for JDK 8 and above, the code is tested on JDK 11. Moving on, you will discover how to detect anomalies and fraud, and ways to perform activity recognition, image recognition, and text analysis. By the end of the book, you will have explored related web resources and technologies that will help you take your learning to the next level. By applying the most effective machine learning methods to real-world problems, you will gain hands-on experience that will transform the way you think about data.

Image Recognition with Deeplearning4j

Images have become ubiquitous in web services, social networks, and web stores. In contrast to humans, computers have great difficulty in understanding what is in the image and what it represents. In this chapter, we'll first look at the challenges behind teaching computers how to understand images, and then focus on an approach based on deep learning. We'll look at a high-level theory thats required to configure a deep learning model and discuss how to implement a model that is able to classify images using a Java library, Deeplearning4j.

This chapter will cover the following topics:

  • Introducing image recognition
  • Discussing deep learning fundamentals
  • Building an image recognition model
