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.

Now that we have seen how to deploy and score a Deep Learning model, feel free to explore other challenges that sometimes accompany the consumption of models:

  • How do we scale the scoring for massive workloads, for example, serving 1 million predictions every second?
  • How do we manage the response time of scoring throughput within a certain round-trip time? For example, the round-trip between a request coming in and the score being served cannot exceed 20 milliseconds. You can also think of ways to optimize such DL models while deploying, such as batch inference and quantization.
  • Heroku is a popular option to deploy. You can deploy a simple ONNX model over Heroku under a free tier. You can deploy the model without the frontend or with a simple frontend to just upload a file. You can go a step further and use a production server, such as Uvicorn, Gunicorn, or Waitress, and try to deploy the model.
  • It is also possible to save the model as a .pt file and...
