Learning Deep Learning. A tutorial on KNIME Deeplearning4J Integration

The aim of this blog post is to highlight some of the key features of the KNIME Deeplearning4J (DL4J) integration, and help newcomers to either Deep Learning or KNIME to be able to take their first steps with Deep Learning in KNIME Analytics Platform. With a little bit of patience, you can run the example provided in this blog post on your laptop, since it uses a small dataset and only a few neural net layers. However, Deep Learning is a poster child for using GPUs to accelerate expensive computations. Fortunately DL4J includes GPU acceleration, which can be enabled within the KNIME Analytics Platform. If you don't happen to have a good GPU available, a particularly easy way to get access to one is to use a GPU-enabled KNIME Cloud Analytics Platform, which is the cloud version of KNIME Analytics Platform.
