Overview of this book

PyTorch is making it easier than ever before for anyone to build deep learning applications. This PyTorch deep learning book will help you uncover expert techniques to get the most out of your data and build complex neural network models. You’ll build convolutional neural networks for image classification and recurrent neural networks and transformers for sentiment analysis. As you advance, you'll apply deep learning across different domains, such as music, text, and image generation, using generative models, including diffusion models. You'll not only build and train your own deep reinforcement learning models in PyTorch but also learn to optimize model training using multiple CPUs, GPUs, and mixed-precision training. You’ll deploy PyTorch models to production, including mobile devices. Finally, you’ll discover the PyTorch ecosystem and its rich set of libraries. These libraries will add another set of tools to your deep learning toolbelt, teaching you how to use fastai to prototype models and PyTorch Lightning to train models. You’ll discover libraries for AutoML and explainable AI (XAI), create recommendation systems, and build language and vision transformers with Hugging Face. By the end of this book, you'll be able to perform complex deep learning tasks using PyTorch to build smart artificial intelligence models.

PyTorch and Explainable AI

Throughout this book, we have built several deep learning models that can perform different kinds of tasks for us, such as a handwritten digit classifier, an image-caption generator, and a sentiment classifier. Although we have mastered how to train and evaluate these models using PyTorch, we do not know precisely what is happening inside these models while they make predictions. Model interpretability or explainability is a field of machine learning where we aim to answer the question, “Why did the model make that prediction?” Put differently, “What did the model see in the input data to make that particular prediction?” The answers to such questions become essential when such models are used for sensitive applications such as cancer diagnosis and legal aid.

In this chapter, we will use the handwritten digit classification model from Chapter 1, Overview of Deep Learning Using PyTorch, examine its inner workings, and thereby...
