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

Measuring text similarity with Cosine Similarity measure using Java 8


Data scientists often measure the distance or similarity between two data points--sometimes for classification or clustering, sometimes for detecting outliers, and for many other cases. When they deal with texts as data points, the traditional distance or similarity measurements cannot be used. There are many standard and classic as well as emerging and novel similarity measures available for comparing two or more text data points. In this recipe, we will be using a measurement named Cosine Similarity to compute distance between two sentences. Cosine Similarity is considered to be a de facto standard in the information retrieval community and therefore widely used. In this recipe, we will use this measurement to find the similarity between two sentences in string format.

Getting ready

Although the readers can get a comprehensive outlook of the measurement from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosine_similarity, let us see the...
