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.

Chapter 6: Deep Generative Models

It has always been the dream of mankind to build a machine that can match human ingenuity. While the word intelligence comes with various dimensions, such as calculations, recognition of objects, speech, understanding context, and reasoning; no aspects of human intelligence make us more human than our creativity. The ability to create a piece of art, be it a piece of music, a poem, a painting, or a movie, has always been the epitome of human intelligence, and people who are good at such creativity are often treated as "geniuses." The question that remains fully unanswered is, can a machine learn creativity?

We have seen machines learn to predict images using a variety of information and sometimes even with little information. A machine learning model can learn from a set of training images and labels to recognize various objects in an image; however, the success of vision models depends on their capability for vast generalizations –...
