Overview of this book

As the amount of data in the world continues to grow at an almost incomprehensible rate, being able to understand and process data is becoming a key differentiator for competitive organizations. Machine learning applications are everywhere, from self-driving cars, spam detection, document search, and trading strategies, to speech recognition. This makes machine learning well-suited to the present-day era of big data and Data Science. The main challenge is how to transform data into actionable knowledge. Machine Learning in Java will provide you with the techniques and tools you need. You will start by learning how to apply machine learning methods to a variety of common tasks including classification, prediction, forecasting, market basket analysis, and clustering. The code in this book works for JDK 8 and above, the code is tested on JDK 11. Moving on, you will discover how to detect anomalies and fraud, and ways to perform activity recognition, image recognition, and text analysis. By the end of the book, you will have explored related web resources and technologies that will help you take your learning to the next level. By applying the most effective machine learning methods to real-world problems, you will gain hands-on experience that will transform the way you think about data.

Summary

In this chapter, we looked into detecting anomalous and suspicious patterns. We discussed the two fundamental approaches, focusing on library encoding, either positive or negative patterns. Next, we got our hands on two real-life datasets, and we discussed how to deal with unbalanced class distributions and how to perform anomaly detection on time series data.

In the next chapter, we'll dive deeper into patterns and more advanced approaches to building pattern-based classifiers, and discuss how to assign labels to images using deep learning automatically.
