Overview of this book

KNIME Analytics Platform is an open source software used to create and design data science workflows. This book is a comprehensive guide to the KNIME GUI and KNIME deep learning integration, helping you build neural network models without writing any code. It’ll guide you in building simple and complex neural networks through practical and creative solutions for solving real-world data problems. Starting with an introduction to KNIME Analytics Platform, you’ll get an overview of simple feed-forward networks for solving simple classification problems on relatively small datasets. You’ll then move on to build, train, test, and deploy more complex networks, such as autoencoders, recurrent neural networks (RNNs), long short-term memory (LSTM), and convolutional neural networks (CNNs). In each chapter, depending on the network and use case, you’ll learn how to prepare data, encode incoming data, and apply best practices. By the end of this book, you’ll have learned how to design a variety of different neural architectures and will be able to train, test, and deploy the final network.

Summary

We do not have space in this book to describe more of the many nodes available in KNIME Analytics Platform. We will leave this exploratory task to you.

KNIME Analytics Platform includes more than 2,000 nodes and covers a large variety of functionalities. However, the factotum nodes that work in most situations are much fewer in number, such as, for example, File Reader, Row Filter, GroupBy, Join, Concatenation, Math Formula, String Manipulation, Rule Engine, and more. We have described most of them in this chapter to give you a solid basis to build more complex workflows for deep learning, which we will do in the next chapter.
