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.

Further learning

  • Other languages: The ASR dataset from which we used the Scottish language dataset also contains many other languages, such as Sinhala, and many Indian languages, such as Hindi, Marathi, and Bengali. The next logical step would be to try this ASR model for another language and compare the results. It is also a great way to learn how to manage training requirements as some of the audio files in these datasets are bigger; hence, they will need more compute power.

Many non-English languages don't have apps widely available on mobiles (for example, the Marathi language spoken in India) and a lack of technical tools in native languages limits the adoption of many tools in remote parts of the world. Creating an ASR in your local language can add great value to the technical ecosystem as well.

  • Audio and video together: Another interesting task is to combine the audio speech recognition and video classification tasks that we have seen today and use...
