This book sets out to show how machine learning, especially deep neural networks, can make a real difference. The hands-on guide provides practical information and also helps you get started building efficient deep learning networks. Authors Adam Gibson and Josh Patterson provide theory on deep learning before introducing their open-source Deeplearning4j (DL4J) library for developing production-class workflows.

The book uses real-world examples to illustrate methods and strategies for training deep network architectures and running deep learning workflows on Spark and Hadoop with DL4J.
