Preface

Deeplearning4j architecture


In this section, we will discuss its architecture and address several of the common tasks performed when using the API. DLN typically starts with the creation of a MultiLayerConfiguration instance, which defines the network, or model. The network is composed of multiple layers. Hyperparameters are used to configure the network and are variables that affect such things as learning speed, activation functions to use for a layer, and how weights are to be initialized.

As with neural networks, the basic DLN process consists of:

  • Acquiring and manipulating data

  • Configuring and building a model

  • Training the model

  • Testing the model

We will investigate each of these tasks in the next sections.

Note

The code examples in this section are not intended to be entered and executed here. Instead, these examples are snippets out of later models that we will be using.

Acquiring and manipulating data

The DL4J API has a number of techniques for acquiring data. We will focus on those specific...
