Crash Course examples with Java: is it possible?

TensorFlow Special Interest Groups JVM

Hello,
this is Matteo and I’m new to Machine Learning and Tensor Flow.

I started the Google Crash Course here and I would like to learn using examples in the course like this one but I’m wondering if it is possible to use the JVM TensorFlow library instead of Python (I’m more confident with Java).

If I understood fine the Java library is not complete like the Python one so I don’t know if I can implement the same examples of the course with Java, so I have a few questions:

  1. Is it possible to implement the examples of the course with the Java library?
  2. If yes, are there similar examples to learn on how to implement those examples? I could find only the examples in this GitHub repository but they don’t help with course examples

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks. Best, Matteo.

TF-Java doesn’t have a completed Keras-style API, in particular it’s still missing a layers and model API, so while you can replicate training models, the code will be quite different and some things might not work (due to a lack of gradients specified at the C level for some operations).

Ok Adam, thanks for the reply.
