Hands-On Artificial Intelligence with Java for Beginners

By: Nisheeth Joshi

Overview of this book

Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly in demand as well as relevant in the modern world, where everything is driven by technology and data. AI can be used for automating systems or processes to carry out complex tasks and functions in order to achieve optimal performance and productivity. Hands-On Artificial Intelligence with Java for Beginners begins by introducing you to AI concepts and algorithms. You will learn about various Java-based libraries and frameworks that can be used in implementing AI to build smart applications. In addition to this, the book teaches you how to implement easy to complex AI tasks, such as genetic programming, heuristic searches, reinforcement learning, neural networks, and segmentation, all with a practical approach. By the end of this book, you will not only have a solid grasp of AI concepts, but you'll also be able to build your own smart applications for multiple domains.

Making predictions


Now, we'll look at how to predict a class using our test dataset. Let's start with the code. We'll use the following packages:

import weka.core.Instances;
import weka.core.converters.ConverterUtils.DataSource;
import weka.classifiers.trees.J48;
import weka.core.Instance;

Notice that this time, we'll be using a new class: an Instance class from the weka.core package. This will help us to predict the class, using our test dataset. Then, as usual, we'll be reading our dataset into the src object, and we'll assign it to a dt object. We'll tell Weka which class attribute will be setting the attributes for our decision tree classifier in this dataset. Then, we'll create a decision tree classifier, set the objects for our decision tree classifier, and build the classifier, as follows:

public static void main(String[] args) { 
    // TODO code application logic here
    try {
        DataSource src = new DataSource("/Users/admin/Documents/NetBeansProjects/MakingPredictions/segment...
