Overview of this book

Building and implementing deep learning (DL) is becoming a key skill for those who want to be at the forefront of progress.But with so much information and complex study materials out there, getting started with DL can feel quite overwhelming. Written by an AI thought leader, Deep Learning with PyTorch Lightning helps researchers build their first DL models quickly and easily without getting stuck on the complexities. With its help, you’ll be able to maximize productivity for DL projects while ensuring full flexibility – from model formulation to implementation. Throughout this book, you’ll learn how to configure PyTorch Lightning on a cloud platform, understand the architectural components, and explore how they are configured to build various industry solutions. You’ll build a neural network architecture, deploy an application from scratch, and see how you can expand it based on your specific needs, beyond what the framework can provide. In the later chapters, you’ll also learn how to implement capabilities to build and train various models like Convolutional Neural Nets (CNN), Natural Language Processing (NLP), Time Series, Self-Supervised Learning, Semi-Supervised Learning, Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) using PyTorch Lightning. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to build and deploy DL models with confidence.

Summary

Most of the image datasets that exist in nature or industry are unlabeled image datasets. Think of X-ray images generated by diagnostic labs, or MRI or dental scans, and many more. Pictures generated on Amazon reviews or images from Google Street View or e-commerce websites like EBay are also mostly unlabelled; also a large proportion of Facebook, Instagram, or WhatsApp images are never tagged and are therefore unlabelled as well. A lot of these image datasets remain unused with untapped potential due to current modelling techniques requiring large amounts of manually labelled sets. Removing the need for large, labelled datasets and expanding the realm of what is possible is Self-Supervised Learning.

We have seen in this chapter how PyTorch Lightning can be used to quickly create Self-Supervised Learning models such as contrastive learning. In fact, PyTorch Lightning is the first framework to provide out-of-the-box support for many Self-Supervised Learning models. We implemented...
