Java: Data Science Made Easy

Using Java to support data science

Java and its associated third-party libraries provide a range of support for the development of data science applications. There are numerous core Java capabilities that can be used, such as the basic string processing methods. The introduction of lambda expressions in Java 8 helps enable more powerful and expressive means of building applications. In many of the examples that follow in subsequent chapters, we will show alternative techniques using lambda expressions.

There is ample support provided for the basic data science tasks. These include multiple ways of acquiring data, libraries for cleaning data, and a wide variety of analysis approaches for tasks such as natural language processing and statistical ...
