Deeplearning4j
This is a Java library that is used to build different types of neural networks. It can be easily integrated with Apache Spark on the big data stack and can even run on GPUs. It is the only main Java library out there currently that has a lot of built-in algorithms focusing on deep learning. It also has a very good online community and good documentation, which can be checked on its website at https://deeplearning4j.org.
There are lots of submodules within this Java library and we need some of those sub modules for running our machine learning algorithms. To check out more detail and running samples within Deeplearning4j, please refer to their documentation. We will not cover Deeplearning4j API in this book, please refer to https://deeplearning4j.org for more information on its documentation.
In order to generate the curiosity of the reader as to what all can be accomplished with deep learning we will end the chapter with another simple sample case study of hand written digit...
