ABSTRACT:

Java is a robust and scalable programming language, which is well suited to large-scale machine learning applications for continuous, high-frequency, high-volume, and multi-dimensional data streams. It outperforms other languages and libraries in terms of portability, customizability, and speed. This teaching seminar will provide you with the overview landscape and techniques for machine learning with Java to transform big data into actionable knowledge. State-of-the-art classification and regression tools such as Distributed Random Forest (DRF) and Deep Neural Networks will also be discussed during hands-on exercises.
