Production-Ready Applied Deep Learning

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.

Gathering the reusable knowledge, concepts, and artifacts for future projects

Your DL projects will result in many artifacts that can be reused in the future. For example, the processed data used during the model training can be reused for other analytical tasks, the model implementation can be adapted to other applications, and the infrastructure set up for monitoring tasks can be reconfigured for different projects. To be able to reuse these artifacts, you need to archive them correctly and ensure that sufficient documentation exists. Let’s have a look at some procedures that you can implement to make your life easier in this process:

  1. Set up versioning standards for development environments, data, implementations, and models. They should be defined at the early stage of the project, and all the team members should follow them:
