Java Deep Learning Projects

Overview of this book

Java is one of the most widely used programming languages. With the rise of deep learning, it has become a popular choice of tool among data scientists and machine learning experts. Java Deep Learning Projects starts with an overview of deep learning concepts and then delves into advanced projects. You will see how to build several projects using different deep neural network architectures such as multilayer perceptrons, Deep Belief Networks, CNN, LSTM, and Factorization Machines. You will get acquainted with popular deep and machine learning libraries for Java such as Deeplearning4j, Spark ML, and RankSys and you’ll be able to use their features to build and deploy projects on distributed computing environments. You will then explore advanced domains such as transfer learning and deep reinforcement learning using the Java ecosystem, covering various real-world domains such as healthcare, NLP, image classification, and multimedia analytics with an easy-to-follow approach. Expert reviews and tips will follow every project to give you insights and hacks. By the end of this book, you will have stepped up your expertise when it comes to deep learning in Java, taking it beyond theory and be able to build your own advanced deep learning systems.

Preparing programming environment

In this section, we will discuss how to configure DL4J, ND4s, Spark, and ND4J before getting started with the coding. The following are prerequisites when working with DL4J:

  • Java 1.8+ (64-bit only)
  • Apache Maven for automated build and dependency manager
  • IntelliJ IDEA or Eclipse IDE
  • Git for version control and CI/CD

The following libraries can be integrated with DJ4J to enhance your JVM experience while developing your ML applications:

  • DL4J: The core neural network framework, which comes up with many DL architectures and underlying functionalities.
  • ND4J: Can be considered as the NumPy of the JVM. It comes with some basic operations of linear algebra. Examples are matrix creation, addition, and multiplication.
  • DataVec: This library enables ETL operation while performing feature engineering.
  • JavaCPP: This library acts as the bridge between Java...
