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

Data scientists often play a supporting role in the model deployment and scoring aspects. However, in some companies (or smaller data science projects where there may not be a fully staffed engineering or ML-Ops team), data scientists may be asked to do such tasks. This chapter should be helpful in preparing you for doing both test and experimental deployments, as well as integration with end user applications.

We have seen in this chapter how PyTorch Lightning can be easily deployed and scored to be consumed via a REST API endpoint with the help of a Flask application. We have seen how we can do so both natively via checkpoint files or via a portable file format such as ONNX. We have seen how different file formats such as ONNX can be used to aid the deployment process in real-life production situations, where multiple teams may be using different frameworks for training the models.

Looking back, we started our journey with an introduction to our first Deep Learning...
