Java Deep Learning Essentials

By: Yusuke Sugomori

Overview of this book

AI and Deep Learning are transforming the way we understand software, making computers more intelligent than we could even imagine just a decade ago. Deep Learning algorithms are being used across a broad range of industries – as the fundamental driver of AI, being able to tackle Deep Learning is going to a vital and valuable skill not only within the tech world but also for the wider global economy that depends upon knowledge and insight for growth and success. It’s something that’s moving beyond the realm of data science – if you’re a Java developer, this book gives you a great opportunity to expand your skillset. Starting with an introduction to basic machine learning algorithms, to give you a solid foundation, Deep Learning with Java takes you further into this vital world of stunning predictive insights and remarkable machine intelligence. Once you’ve got to grips with the fundamental mathematical principles, you’ll start exploring neural networks and identify how to tackle challenges in large networks using advanced algorithms. You will learn how to use the DL4J library and apply Deep Learning to a range of real-world use cases. Featuring further guidance and insights to help you solve challenging problems in image processing, speech recognition, language modeling, this book will make you rethink what you can do with Java, showing you how to use it for truly cutting-edge predictive insights. As a bonus, you’ll also be able to get to grips with Theano and Caffe, two of the most important tools in Deep Learning today. By the end of the book, you’ll be ready to tackle Deep Learning with Java. Wherever you’ve come from – whether you’re a data scientist or Java developer – you will become a part of the Deep Learning revolution!

Expected next actions


Since the news about AlphaGo was featured in the media, the AI boom has definitely had a boost. You might notice that you hear the words "deep learning" in the media more often recently. It can be said that the world's expectations of AI have been increased that much. What is interesting is that the term "deep learning," which was originally a technical term, is now used commonly in daily news. You can see that the image of the term AI has been changing. Probably, until just a few years ago, if people heard about AI, many of them would have imagined an actual robot, but how about now? 'The term AI is now often used—not particularly consciously—with regard to software or applications, and is accepted as commonplace. This is nothing but an indication that the world has started to understand AI, which has been developed for research, correctly. If a technology is taken in the wrong direction, it generates repulsion, or some people start to develop the technology incorrectly...
