Deepnote supports a variety of programming languages through different kernels. Scala, a powerful language for data science and machine learning, can be integrated into Deepnote using the Almond kernel. We will provide detailed instructions for setting up a Scala kernel with Almond in Deepnote and demonstrate how to use TensorFlow with Scala.
Setting up the Scala kernel with Almond
To run Scala in Deepnote, you’ll need to create a custom environment that includes the Almond kernel. Follow these steps to set up the Scala kernel:
Dockerfile
FROM almondsh/almond:latest
ENV DEFAULT_KERNEL_NAME "scala213"
Tensorflow with Scala
import $ivy.`org.platanios::tensorflow:0.4.0`
import org.platanios.tensorflow.api._
// Start a new session
val session = Session()
// Define a constant tensor
val tensor = tf.constant(Tensor(3.0))
// Run the session to evaluate the tensor
val result = session.run(fetches = tensor)
// Print the result
println(result.scalar)
Example notebook
Conclusion
By following the steps outlined in this guide, you can successfully set up and run a Scala kernel with Almond in Deepnote. This allows you to leverage Scala’s powerful features for data science and machine learning tasks, including using TensorFlow with Scala.
