Yusuke Sugomori

Yusuke Sugomori is a creative technologist with a background in information engineering. When he was a graduate school student, he cofounded Gunosy with his colleagues, which uses machine learning and web-based data mining to determine individual users' respective interests and provides an optimized selection of daily news items based on those interests. This algorithm-based app has gained a lot of attention since its release and now has more than 10 million users. The company has been listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange since April 28, 2015. In 2013, Sugomori joined Dentsu, the largest advertising company in Japan based on nonconsolidated gross profit in 2014, where he carried out a wide variety of digital advertising, smartphone app development, and big data analysis. He was also featured as one of eight "new generation" creators by the Japanese magazine Web Designing. In April 2016, he joined a medical start-up as cofounder and CTO.

Introducing DL4J and ND4J


A lot of the libraries of deep learning have been developed all over the world. In November 2015, TensorFlow (http://www.tensorflow.org/), a machine learning/deep learning library developed by Google, became open to the public and attracted great attention.

When we look at the programming language with which libraries are being developed, most of them open to the public are developed by Python or use the Python API. TensorFlow is developed with C++ on the backend but it's also possible to write code with Python. This book focuses on Java to learn deep learning, hence the libraries developed by other languages will be briefly introduced in Chapter 7, Other Important Deep Learning Libraries.

So, what Java-based libraries do we have? Actually, there are a few cases that are actively developed (perhaps there are also some projects not open to public). However, there is only one library we can use practically: Deeplearning4j (DL4J). The official project page URL is http...
