3. Outline ● What is Deep Learning? ● Overview of DeepLearning4J Ecosystem ● Deep Learning Workflows ● ETL & Vectorization with DataVec ● Apache Flink and DL4J

4. What is Deep Learning?

5. Handwriting Recognition Face Recognition (Facebook) Image Generation Self-Driving Cars

6. DL has been very successful with Image Classification Dogs v/s Cats https://www.kaggle.com/c/dogs-vs-cats

9. ●Deep Learning is a series of steps for automated feature extraction o Based on techniques that have been around for several years o Several techniques chained together to automate feature engineering o “Deep” due to several interconnected layers of nodes stacked together between the input and the output.

10. “Deep learning will make you acceptable to the learned; but it is only an obliging and easy behaviour, and entertaining conversation, that will make you agreeable to all companies” - James Burgh

11. Popular Deep Neural Networks ●Deep Belief Networks o Most popular architecture ●Convolutional Neural Networks o Successful in image classification ●Recurrent Networks o Time series Analysis o Sequence Modelling

12. Deep Learning in Enterprise ●Ability to work with small and big data easily o Don’t want to change tooling because we moved to Hadoop ●Ability to not get caught up in things like vectorization and ETL o Need to focus on better models o Understanding your data is very important ●Ability to experiment with lots of models

13. DeepLearning4J

14. ●“The Hadoop of Deep Learning” o Command line driven o Java and Scala APIs o ASF 2.0 Licensed ●Java implementation o Parallelization o GPU support  Support for multi-GPU per host ●Runtime Neutral o Local, Spark, Flink o AWS

15. DL4J Suite of Tools ●DeepLearning4J o Main library for deep learning ●DataVec o Extract, Transform, Load (ETL) and Vectorization library ●ND4J o Linear Algebra framework o Swappable backends (JBLAS, GPUs) o Think NumPy on the JVM ●Arbiter o Model evaluation, Hyperparameter Search and testing platform

17. DL4J: DataVec for Data Ingest and Vectorization ●Uses an Input/Output format ●Supports all major types of Input data (Text, Images, Audio, Video, SVMLight) ●Extensible for Specialized Input Formats ●Interfaces with Apache Kafka

18. DL4J: ND4J ●Scientific computing library on JVM (think NumPy on JVM) ●Supports N-dimensional vector computations ●Supports GPUs via CUDA and Native JBlas

19. Learning Progressive Layers

20. Deep Learning Workflows

21. ●Data Ingestion and storage. ●Data cleansing and transformation. ●Split the dataset into Training, Validation and Test Data sets -Apache Flink DataSet API for Data Ingestion and Transformation Data Ingestion and Munging

22. DL Model Building ●Build Deep Learning Network and Train with Training Data ●Parameter Averaging ●Test and Validate the Model ●Repeat until satisfied ●Persist and Deploy the Model in Production

23. Prediction and Scoring Deployed Model used to make predictions against Streaming data -- Streaming Predictors using Apache Flink DataStream API

24. DL4J API Example MultiLayerConfiguration conf = new NeuralNetConfiguration.Builder().seed(12345).iterations(1).optimizationAlgo(OptimizationAlgorithm.STOCHASTIC_GRADIENT_DESCENT).learningRate(0.05).l2(0.001).list(4).layer(0, new DenseLayer.Builder().nIn(784).nOut(250).weightInit(WeightInit.XAVIER).updater(Updater.ADAGRAD).activation("relu").build()).layer(1, new DenseLayer.Builder().nIn(250).nOut(10).weightInit(WeightInit.XAVIER).updater(Updater.ADAGRAD).activation("relu").build()).layer(2, new DenseLayer.Builder().nIn(10).nOut(250).weightInit(WeightInit.XAVIER).updater(Updater.ADAGRAD).activation("relu").build()).layer(3, new OutputLayer.Builder().nIn(250).nOut(784).weightInit(WeightInit.XAVIER).updater(Updater.ADAGRAD).activation("relu").lossFunction(LossFunctions.LossFunction.MSE).build()).pretrain(false).backprop(true).build();

25. Building Deep Learning Workflows ●Flexibility to build / apply the model o Local o AWS, Spark, Flink (WIP) ●Convert data from a raw format into a baseline raw vector o Model the data o Evaluate the Model ●Traditionally all of these are tied together in one tool o But this is a monolithic pattern The DL4J Suite of Tools let us do this

26. Load Existing Models in DL4J String jsonModelConfig = loadTextFileFromDisk( pathToModelJSON ); MultiLayerConfiguration configFromJson = MultiLayerConfiguration.fromJson( jsonModelConfig ); FSDataInputStream hdfsInputStream_ModelParams = hdfs.open(new Path( hdfsPathToModelParams )); try (DataInputStream dis = new DataInputStream( hdfsInputStream_ModelParams )) { INDArray newParams = Nd4j.read( dis ); } MultiLayerNetwork network = new MultiLayerNetwork( configFromJson ); network.init(); network.setParameters(newParams);

27.
