Deep Java Library (DJL) VS Deeplearning4j

Compare Deep Java Library (DJL) vs Deeplearning4j and see what are their differences.

Deeplearning4j

Suite of tools for deploying and training deep learning models using the JVM. Highlights include model import for keras, tensorflow, and onnx/pytorch, a modular and tiny c++ library for running math code and a java based math library on top of the core c++ library. Also includes samediff: a pytorch/tensorflow like library for running deep learning using automatic differentiation. (by deeplearning4j)

  • Is deeplearning4j a good choice?

    It seems to have been picked up by Eclipse and there is also Oracle Labs' Tribuo and Deep Java Library. All seem active, but I don't know much about any of them. I agree it's probably best to follow the community and use a more popular tool like PyTorch.

    Although it may be a bit more work, you can do both machine learning and AI in Java. If you are doing deep learning, you can use DeepJavaLibrary (I do work on this one at Amazon). If you are looking for other ML algorithms, I have seen Smile, Tribuo, or some around Spark.
  • Best way to combine Python and Java?

    Image preprocessing I know less about, but tokenization is something I've dealt with a bunch. There are a few options, either push the tokenizer into the ONNX model and use MS's ONNX Runtime extensions (we've used this when working with sentencepiece tokenizers), port the tokenizer entirely to Java (we did this for BERT), or use a sentencepiece or HF tokenizers wrapper directly (e.g. Amazon's DJL did this - HF, sentencepiece).
  • Anybody here using Java for machine learning?

    https://djl.ai/ seems very promising. I've played around with it quite a bit, not in real production though. It's a very well documented (https://d2l.djl.ai/) and active project, with Amazon working on it.

    Well, we've been using Tribuo in production for many years now. The ONNX Runtime Java API that I maintain in MS's ONNX Runtime project has also seen a bunch of uptake in companies, and Amazon have been building DJL for several years too.

    Here is link number 1 - Previous text "DJL"

    Regarding Tensorflow: As far as I understand, it is accessible through DJL, which has a Clojure wrapper (work in progress): clj-djl. (But I haven't tried it.)
  • [D] Java vs Python for Machine learning
    4 projects | /r/MachineLearning | 25 Jul 2021
    To give a contrasting perspective, I think the Java ecosystem is much better suited for many data science tasks, and has a growing and well-maintained set of libraries for general purpose machine learning. I won't list them all, but TF-Java, DJL et al. have implementations of many modern architectures and there are a number of excellent libraries (CoreNLP, Lucene et al.) for working with text.
