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.

Overview of DL project tracking

Training DL models is an iterative process that consumes a lot of time and resources. Therefore, keeping track of all experiments and consistently organizing them can prevent us from wasting our time on unnecessary operations such as training similar models repeatedly on the same set of data. In other words, having well-documented records of all model architectures and their hyperparameter sets, as well as the version of data used during experiments, can help us derive the right conclusion from the experiments, which naturally leads to the project being successful.

Components of DL project tracking

The essential components of DL project tracking are experiment tracking, model management, and dataset versioning. Let’s look at each component in detail.

Experiment tracking

The concept behind experiment tracking is simple: store the description and the motivations of each experiment so that we don’t run another set of experiments...
