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 7: Semi-Supervised Learning

Machine learning has been used for a long time to recognize patterns. However, recently the idea that machines can be used to create patterns has caught the imagination of everyone. The idea of machines being able to create art by mimicking known artistic styles or, given any input, provide a human-like perspective as output has become the new frontier in machine learning.

Most of the Deep Learning models we have seen thus far have been either about recognizing images (using the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) architecture), generating text (with Transformers), or generating images (Generative Adversarial Networks). However, we as humans don't always view objects purely as text or images in real life but rather as a combination of them. For example, an image in a Facebook post or a news article will likely be accompanied by some comments describing it. Memes are a popular way of creating humor by combining catchy images with smart text...
