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.

Experiment Tracking, Model Management, and Dataset Versioning

In this chapter, we will introduce a set of useful tools for experiment tracking, model management, and dataset versioning, which allows you to effectively manage deep learning (DL) projects. The tools we will be discussing in this chapter can help us track many experiments and interpret the results more efficiently, which naturally leads to a reduction in operational costs and boosts the development cycle. By the end of the chapter, you will have hands-on experience with the most popular tools and be able to select the right set of tools for your project.

In this chapter, we’re going to cover the following main topics:

  • Overview of DL project tracking
  • DL project tracking with Weights & Biases
  • DL project tracking with MLflow and DVC
  • Dataset versioning – beyond Weights & Biases, MLflow, and DVC
