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

Detecting tokens (words) using Java


One of the most common tasks that a data scientist needs to do using text data is to detect tokens from it. This task is called tokenization . Although "token" can mean a word, symbol, phrase or any other meaningful text unit, in this chapter, we will consider words as tokens since a word is a reasonable text unit to deal with. However, the notion of word tokens varies from person to person; some need words only, some prefer symbols to be omitted during detection, while some want to keep punctuation in the words for getting more context. Based on the variety of needs, in this recipe, we will be using three different techniques that, when applied to the same string, yield three different results. The techniques will involve string tokenization, break iterator, and regular expressions. It is you who needs to decide which technique to use.

Remember that we have selectively chosen only three methods though there are many other options out there; they are for...
