PyTorch Deep Learning Hands-On

Overview of this book

PyTorch Deep Learning Hands-On is a book for engineers who want a fast-paced guide to doing deep learning work with PyTorch. It is not an academic textbook and does not try to teach deep learning principles. The book will help you most if you want to get your hands dirty and put PyTorch to work quickly. PyTorch Deep Learning Hands-On shows how to implement the major deep learning architectures in PyTorch. It covers neural networks, computer vision, CNNs, natural language processing (RNN), GANs, and reinforcement learning. You will also build deep learning workflows with the PyTorch framework, migrate models built in Python to highly efficient TorchScript, and deploy to production using the most sophisticated available tools. Each chapter focuses on a different area of deep learning. Chapters start with a refresher on how the model works, before sharing the code you need to implement it in PyTorch. This book is ideal if you want to rapidly add PyTorch to your deep learning toolset.

Summary

This chapter was all about how to build a basic pipeline for deep learning development. The system we have defined in this chapter is a very common/general approach followed by different sorts of companies, with slight changes. The benefit of starting with a generic workflow like this is that you can build a really complex workflow as your team/project grows on top of it.

Also, having a workflow in the early stage of development itself will make your sprints stable and predictable. Finally, the division between steps in the workflow helps with defining roles for the team members, setting deadlines for each step, trying to accommodate each of them in sprints efficiently, and executing the steps in parallel.

The PyTorch community is making different tools and utility packages to incorporate into the workflow. ignite, torchvision, torchtext, torchaudio, and so on are such examples. As the industry grows, we could see a lot of such tools emerging, which could be fitted into...
