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.

Reviewing a DL project

Post-implementation review (PIR) is the process of revisiting how the project was carried out. Throughout this process, you will compare the final state of the project against the goal state and organize the generated artifacts from the current project for reusability. Overall, this process should lead you to a broad understanding of the project’s success or failure. Furthermore, it will give you a clear indication of how future projects should be managed and how to avoid the mistakes made in the current project. Following this line of thought, you should have a bigger picture in mind all the time beyond the scope of the current project; one project might be completed, but the insights that you obtained will be reusable for future projects.

Conducting a post-implementation review

The PIR process consists of the following steps. Please keep in mind that the process can start before the final deployment of the deliverable:
