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

We began this book with just a curiosity for what DL and PyTorch Lightning are. Anyone new to the Deep Learning or a curious beginner to PyTorch Lightning can get their feet wet by trying simple image recognition models and then continue to raise their game by learning skills such as Transfer Learning (TL) or how to make use of other pre-trained architectures. We continued to leverage the PyTorch Lightning framework for doing not just image recognition models but also Natural Language Processing (NLP) models, time series, and other traditional Machine Learning (ML) challenges. Along the way, we learned about RNN, LSTM, and Transformers.

In the next section of the book, we explored exotic DL models such as Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), Semi-supervised learning, and Self-Supervised Learning that expand the art of what is possible in the domain of ML and these are not just advanced models but super cool ways to create art and lots of fun to work with.
