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.

Building a Deep Learning (DL) model often involves recreating existing architectures or experiments from top-notch research papers in the field. For example, AlexNet was the winning Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) architecture in 2012 for the ImageNet computer vision challenge. Many data scientists have recreated that architecture for their business applications or built newer and better algorithms based on it. It is a common practice to reuse existing experiments on your data before conducting your own experiments. Doing so typically involves either reading the original research paper to code it or tapping into the author's GitHub page to gain an understanding of what's what, which are both time-consuming options. What if the most popular architectures and experiments in DL were easily available for executing various common DL tasks as part of a framework? Meet PyTorch Lightning Flash!
