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

Lightning Flash is still in the early stages of development and will continue to evolve rapidly. Flash is also a community project where model code can be contributed by data science practitioners, and so the quality of code may vary from architecture to architecture. We advise you to follow due diligence when it comes to the source of any model code, as it may not always be from the PyTorch Lightning team; try to avoid bugs.

However, Flash is extremely useful, whether you are a beginner in DL or an advanced practitioner looking to establish a baseline for a new project. The first point of order is to start with the latest and greatest architecture in the field. It helps get you off the ground easily with your dataset and sets the baseline for the different algorithms of your use case. Flash, with its out-of-the-box capability for state-of-the-art DL architectures, is not just a timesaver but a big productivity booster.
