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.

Getting started with Neural Networks

In this section, we will begin our journey by understanding the basics of Neural Networks.

Why Neural Networks?

Before we go deep into NNs, it is important to answer a simple question: Why do we even need a new classification algorithm when there are so many existing classification algorithms, such as decision trees? The simple answer is that there are some classification problems that decision trees would never be able to solve. As you might be aware, decision trees work by finding a set of objects in one class and then creating splits in the set to continue to create a pure class. This works well when there is a clear distinction between different classes in the dataset, but it fails when they are mixed. One such very basic problem that decision trees cannot ever solve is the XOR problem.

About the XOR operator

The XOR gate/operator is also known as exclusive OR. It is a digital logic in electronics. An XOR gate is a digital logic...
