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 image variations for training data

We create image variations and further train our network model on top of them to increase the generalization power of the CNN. It is crucial to train our CNN with as many image variations as possible so as to increase the accuracy. We basically obtain more samples of the same image by flipping or rotating them. In this recipe, we will transform and create samples of images using a concrete implementation of ImageTransform in DL4J.

How to do it...

  1. Use FlipImageTransform to flip the images horizontally or vertically (randomly or not randomly):
ImageTransform flipTransform = new FlipImageTransform(new Random(seed));
  1. Use WarpImageTransform to warp the perspective of images deterministically...
