Hands-On Deep Learning with Go

By: Gareth Seneque, Darrell Chua

Overview of this book

Go is an open source programming language designed by Google for handling large-scale projects efficiently. The Go ecosystem comprises some really powerful deep learning tools such as DQN and CUDA. With this book, you'll be able to use these tools to train and deploy scalable deep learning models from scratch. This deep learning book begins by introducing you to a variety of tools and libraries available in Go. It then takes you through building neural networks, including activation functions and the learning algorithms that make neural networks tick. In addition to this, you'll learn how to build advanced architectures such as autoencoders, restricted Boltzmann machines (RBMs), convolutional neural networks (CNNs), recurrent neural networks (RNNs), and more. You'll also understand how you can scale model deployments on the AWS cloud infrastructure for training and inference. By the end of this book, you'll have mastered the art of building, training, and deploying deep learning models in Go to solve real-world problems.

Summary

Having now walked you through the under-the-hood details of how Kubernetes, Docker, and AWS can be used to throw as many resources at your model as your wallet will allow, there are a number of steps you can take to customize these examples to your use case or take your level of knowledge even further:

  • Integrate this approach into your CI or CD tool (Bamboo, CircleCI, Puppet, and so on)
  • Integrate Pachyderm into your Docker, Kubernetes, or AWS solution
  • Experiment with the parameter server to do things such as distributed gradient descent and further optimize your model pipeline
