Zeppelin VS kotlindl

Now we can proceed with the definition of Apache Zeppelin. It is a web-based notebook that enables data-driven, interactive data analytics and collaborative documents with Python, Scala, SQL, Spark, and more. You can execute code and even schedule a job (via cron) to run at regular intervals.

Have you tried Apache Zepellin I remember that you can pretty print spark dataframes directly on it with z.show(df)

I used to use Zeppelin, some kind of Jupyter Notebook for Spark (that supports Parquet). But it may be better alternatives.

Apache Zeppelin

For all who think: What the heck is Apache Zeppelin? Here are some details what the project site says:

Check out Zeppelin. It's similar to Jupyter and allows real-time editing by multiple users. https://zeppelin.apache.org/

This is a really nice sample app (works out of the box) that Jetbrains have made to showcase the capabilities of this Kotlin Deep Learning library https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlindl

There are Java bindings for TensorFlow, but that's quite low level. I tried to see if I can get some Keras API for Scala, but I'm no expert and haven't had enough time to invest in this, so it's stuck in alpha. Maybe I develop it slow burning over the next year. A bit envious that Kotlin has a Keras-like library.

KotlinDL 0.3 is available now on Maven Central with a variety of new features — check out all the changes that are coming to the new release!

Could you please add an issue with your use-case and proposed solution? Or write here more details. Do you need just serialization to objects in memory? or just in bytes?

While KotlinDL seems to be a good solution by Jetbrains, I would personally stick to Java frameworks like DL4J for a better community support and likely more features.

For deep learning this is your best bet: https://github.com/jetbrains/kotlindl

So, the KotlinDL library could solve classification and regression tasks on tabular data and image data.

Thank you for your feedback! Kotlin∇ is a research prototype for building differentiable programs from basic primitives. If you’re looking for a higher-level API, KotlinDL [1] or KInference [2] might be a better fit for building end-user applications such as image, speech or language processing.
