Introduction to Machine Learning and Java lays the conceptual and technical foundation for understanding how machine learning can be applied within the Java development ecosystem. This module begins by demystifying core ML concepts such as supervised vs. unsupervised learning, model training, evaluation, and the role of data in predictive systems. Learners will then explore the relevance of Java in the ML landscape—examining the tools, libraries, and architectural patterns that allow Java developers to effectively participate in the machine learning workflow. By introducing key ML terminology and drawing parallels with familiar Java principles, this module helps learners establish a strong mental model for integrating machine learning into software projects. It also sets up the development environment and provides a hands-on preview of Java-compatible ML libraries to be used in later modules.

Supervised Learning in Java introduces learners to one of the most widely used machine learning paradigms—supervised learning—and demonstrates how to implement it using Java-based tools and libraries. The module covers key concepts such as labeled datasets, training/testing splits, classification vs. regression, and model evaluation metrics. Learners will explore popular algorithms like Decision Trees, Naive Bayes, and Linear Regression, and see how they can be applied to real-world problems using Java libraries such as Weka, Tribuo, or DL4J. Through hands-on projects and guided examples, learners will build, train, and evaluate supervised learning models using Java, while learning to interpret outputs and refine model performance. By the end of this module, learners will have the skills to integrate basic supervised learning models into their Java applications with confidence.

Unsupervised Learning in Java explores how to discover hidden patterns, groupings, and structures in data without predefined labels using Java-based machine learning tools. This module introduces the core principles of unsupervised learning, including clustering and dimensionality reduction techniques. Learners will gain hands-on experience with algorithms like K-Means, DBSCAN, and Principal Component Analysis (PCA), using libraries such as Weka or Tribuo to implement these models in Java. The focus is on identifying use cases where unsupervised learning adds value—such as customer segmentation, anomaly detection, and data compression—and on understanding how to interpret results when there are no explicit output labels. By the end of the module, learners will be able to build unsupervised workflows and integrate pattern discovery into Java applications.

Applied ML with Java brings together the foundational concepts of machine learning and demonstrates how to apply them to real-world scenarios using the Java ecosystem. This module emphasizes end-to-end implementation—from data ingestion and preprocessing to model training, evaluation, and integration into Java applications. Learners will work with common use cases such as fraud detection, sentiment analysis, and recommendation systems, applying both supervised and unsupervised techniques with Java libraries like Tribuo, DL4J, and Weka. Beyond just building models, the module also covers how to prepare and clean datasets, handle model persistence, and embed ML logic into production-ready Java codebases. By the end, learners will have a clear understanding of how to design, implement, and deploy practical machine learning solutions in Java environments.
