# Examples Tour {% hint style="info" %} To access examples as they were during the beta6 release, please use this version of the example repository: {% endhint %} ## Survey of DeepLearning4j Examples Deeplearning4j's Github repository has many examples to cover its functionality. The [Quick Start Guide](/en-1.0.0-beta6/getting-started/quickstart.md) shows you how to set up Intellij and clone the repository. This page provides an overview of some of those examples. ## DataVec examples Most of the examples make use of DataVec, a toolkit for preprocessing and clearing data through normalization, standardization, search and replace, column shuffles and vectorization. Reading raw data and transforming it into a DataSet object for your Neural Network is often the first step toward training that network. If you're unfamiliar with DataVec, here is a description and some links to useful examples. ### IrisAnalysis.java This example takes the canonical Iris dataset of the flower species of the same name, whose relevant measurements are sepal length, sepal width, petal length and petal width. It builds a Spark RDD from the relatively small dataset and runs an analysis against it. [Show me the code](https://github.com/eclipse/deeplearning4j-examples/blob/master/datavec-examples/src/main/java/org/datavec/transform/analysis/IrisAnalysis.java) ### BasicDataVecExample.java This example loads data into a Spark RDD. All DataVec transform operations use Spark RDDs. Here, we use DataVec to filter data, apply time transformations and remove columns.

It can be thought of as Numpy for the JVM. Neural Networks work by processing and updating MultiDimensional arrays of numeric values. In a typical Neural Net application you use DataVec to ingest and convert the data to numeric. Classes used would be RecordReader. Once you need to pass data into a Neural Network, you typically use RecordReaderDataSetIterator. RecordReaderDataSetIterator returns a DataSet object. DataSet consists of an NDArray of the input features and an NDArray of the labels. The learning algorithms and loss functions are executed as ND4J operations. ### Basic ND4J examples This is a directory with examples for creating and manipulating NDArrays.
