Java: Data Science Made Easy

By: Richard M. Reese, Jennifer L. Reese, Alexey Grigorev

Overview of this book

Data science is concerned with extracting knowledge and insights from a wide variety of data sources to analyse patterns or predict future behaviour. It draws from a wide array of disciplines including statistics, computer science, mathematics, machine learning, and data mining. In this course, we cover the basic as well as advanced data science concepts and how they are implemented using the popular Java tools and libraries.The course starts with an introduction of data science, followed by the basic data science tasks of data collection, data cleaning, data analysis, and data visualization. This is followed by a discussion of statistical techniques and more advanced topics including machine learning, neural networks, and deep learning. You will examine the major categories of data analysis including text, visual, and audio data, followed by a discussion of resources that support parallel implementation. Throughout this course, the chapters will illustrate a challenging data science problem, and then go on to present a comprehensive, Java-based solution to tackle that problem. You will cover a wide range of topics – from classification and regression, to dimensionality reduction and clustering, deep learning and working with Big Data. Finally, you will see the different ways to deploy the model and evaluate it in production settings. By the end of this course, you will be up and running with various facets of data science using Java, in no time at all. This course contains premium content from two of our recently published popular titles: - Java for Data Science - Mastering Java for Data Science

Using Aparapi

Aparapi (https://github.com/aparapi/aparapi) is a Java library that supports concurrent operations. The API supports code running on GPUs or CPUs. GPU operations are executed using OpenCL, while CPU operations use Java threads. The user can specify which computing resource to use. However, if GPU support is not available, Aparapi will revert to Java threads.

The API will convert Java byte codes to OpenCL at runtime. This makes the API largely independent from the graphics card used. The API was initially developed by AMD but has been released as open source. This is reflected in the basic package name, com.amd.aparari. Aparapi offers a higher level of abstraction than provided by OpenCL.

Aparapi code is located in a class derived from the Kernel class. Its execute method will start the operations. This will result in an internal call to a run method, which needs to be overridden. It is within the run method that concurrent code is placed. The run method is executed multiple times...
