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.

Using arbiter to monitor neural network behavior

Hyperparameter optimization/tuning is the process of finding the optimal values for hyperparameters in the learning process. Hyperparameter optimization partially automates the process of finding optimal hyperparameters using certain search strategies. Arbiter is part of the DL4J deep learning library and is used for hyperparameter optimization. Arbiter can be used to find high-performing models by tuning the hyperparameters of the neural network. Arbiter has a UI that visualizes the results of the hyperparameter tuning process.

In this recipe, we will set up arbiter and visualize the training instance to take a look at neural network behavior.
