Java: Data Science Made Easy

Neural Networks and DeepLearning4J

Neural Networks are typically good models that give a reasonable performance on structured datasets, but they might not necessarily be better than others. However, when it comes to dealing with unstructured data, most often they are the best.

In this chapter, we will look into a Java library for designing Deep Neural Networks, called DeepLearning4j. But before we do this, we first will look into its backend--ND4J, which does all the number crunching and heavy lifting.
