Production-Ready Applied Deep Learning

By: Tomasz Palczewski, Jaejun (Brandon) Lee, Lenin Mookiah

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.

Decomposing a complex, state-of-the-art model implementation

Even though you have picked up the basics of TF and PyTorch, setting up a model training from scratch can be overwhelming. Luckily, the two frameworks have thorough documentations and tutorials that are easy to follow:

In this section, we would like to look at a model that is much more sophisticated, StyleGAN. Our main goal is to explain how the components described in the previous sections can be put together for a complex DL project. For the complete description...
