Java Deep Learning Cookbook

By: Rahul Raj

Overview of this book

Java is one of the most widely used programming languages in the world. With this book, you will see how to perform deep learning using Deeplearning4j (DL4J) – the most popular Java library for training neural networks efficiently. This book starts by showing you how to install and configure Java and DL4J on your system. You will then gain insights into deep learning basics and use your knowledge to create a deep neural network for binary classification from scratch. As you progress, you will discover how to build a convolutional neural network (CNN) in DL4J, and understand how to construct numeric vectors from text. This deep learning book will also guide you through performing anomaly detection on unsupervised data and help you set up neural networks in distributed systems effectively. In addition to this, you will learn how to import models from Keras and change the configuration in a pre-trained DL4J model. Finally, you will explore benchmarking in DL4J and optimize neural networks for optimal results. By the end of this book, you will have a clear understanding of how you can use DL4J to build robust deep learning applications in Java.

Introduction to Deep Learning in Java

Let's discuss various deep learning libraries so as to pick the best for the purpose at hand. This is a context-dependent decision and will vary according to the situation. In this chapter, we will start with a brief introduction to deep learning and explore how DL4J is a good choice for solving deep learning puzzles. We will also discuss how to set up DL4J in your workspace.

In this chapter, we will cover the following recipes:

  • Deep learning intuition
  • Determining the right network type to solve deep learning problems
  • Determining the right activation function
  • Combating overfitting problems
  • Determining the right batch size and learning rates
  • Configuring Maven for DL4J
  • Configuring DL4J for a GPU-accelerated environment
  • Troubleshooting installation issues
