Overview of this book

Machine learning engineers, deep learning specialists, and data engineers encounter various problems when moving deep learning models to a production environment. The main objective of this book is to close the gap between theory and applications by providing a thorough explanation of how to transform various models for deployment and efficiently distribute them with a full understanding of the alternatives. First, you will learn how to construct complex deep learning models in PyTorch and TensorFlow. Next, you will acquire the knowledge you need to transform your models from one framework to the other and learn how to tailor them for specific requirements that deployment environments introduce. The book also provides concrete implementations and associated methodologies that will help you apply the knowledge you gain right away. You will get hands-on experience with commonly used deep learning frameworks and popular cloud services designed for data analytics at scale. Additionally, you will get to grips with the authors’ collective knowledge of deploying hundreds of AI-based services at a large scale. By the end of this book, you will have understood how to convert a model developed for proof of concept into a production-ready application optimized for a particular production setting.

Creating Android apps with a DL model

In this section, we will discuss how Android supports TF Lite and PyTorch Mobile. Java and Java Virtual Machine (JVM)-based languages (for example, Kotlin) are the preferred languages for Android apps. In this section, we will be using Java. The basics of Android app development can be found at https://developer.android.com.

We first focus on running TF Lite model inference on Android using the org.tensorflow:tensorflow-lite-support library. Then, we discuss how to run TorchScript model inference using the org.pytorch:pytorch_android_lite library.

Running TF Lite model inference on Android

First, let’s look at how to run a TF Lite model on Android using Java. The org.tensorflow:tensorflow-lite-support library is used to deploy a TF Lite model on an Android app. The library supports Java, C++ (beta), and Swift (beta). A complete list of supported environments can be found at https://github.com/tensorflow/tflite-support.
