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.

Creating an uber-JAR for training

The training job that's executed by spark-submit will need to resolve all the required dependencies at runtime. In order to manage this task, we will create an uber-JAR that has the application runtime and its required dependencies. We will use the Maven configurations in pom.xml to create an uber-JAR so that we can perform distributed training. Effectively, we will create an uber-JAR and submit it to spark-submit to perform the training job in Spark.

In this recipe, we will create an uber-JAR using the Maven shade plugin for Spark training.

How to do it...

Create an uber-JAR (shaded JAR) by adding the Maven shade plugin to the pom.xml file, as shown here:

Refer to the pom.xml file...
