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.

Performing data visualization

When applying ML techniques to analyze a dataset, the first step must be understanding the available data because every algorithm has advantages that are closely related to the underlying data. The key aspects of data that data scientists need to understand include data formats, distributions, and relationships among the features. When the amount of data is small, necessary information can be collected by analyzing each entry manually. However, as the amount of data grows, visualization plays a critical role in understanding the data.

Many tools for data visualization are available in Python. Matplotlib and Seaborn are the most popular libraries for statistical data visualization. We will introduce these two libraries one by one in this section.

Performing basic visualizations using Matplotlib

In the following example, we will demonstrate how to generate bar charts and pie charts using Matplotlib. The data we use represents the weekly distribution...
