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.

Technical requirements

You'll need the following to get the most out of this cookbook:

  • Java SE 7, or higher, installed
  • Basic core Java knowledge
  • DL4J basics
  • Maven basics
  • Basic data analytical skills
  • Deep learning/machine learning basics
  • OS command basics (Linux/Windows)
  • IntelliJ IDEA IDE (this is a very easy and hassle-free way of managing code; however, you're free to try another IDE, such as Eclipse)
  • Spring Boot basics (to integrate DL4J with Spring Boot for use with web applications)
We use DL4J version 1.0.0-beta3 throughout this book except for Chapter 7, Constructing an LSTM Neural Network for Sequence Classification, where we used the current latest version, 1.0.0-beta4, to avoid bugs.
