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.

Flash is as simple as 1-2-3

We started the book by creating the first DL model in the form of CNN. We then used transfer learning to see that we can get higher accuracy by using representations learned on popular datasets and train models even quicker. Lightning Flash takes it to another level by providing a standardized framework for you to quickly access all the pre-trained model architectures as well as some popular datasets.

Using Flash means writing some of the most minimal forms of code to train a DL model. In fact, a simple Flash model can be as lightweight as five lines of code.

Once the libraries are imported, we only have to perform three basic steps:

  1. Supply your data: Create a data module to provide data to the framework:
    datamodule = yourData.from_json(
        "yourFile",
        "text",
  2. Define your task and backbone: Now, it's time to define what you want to do with the data. You can select from...
