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.

DL project tracking with Weights & Biases

W&B is an experiment management platform that provides versioning for models and data.

W&B provides an interactive dashboard that can be embedded in Jupyter notebooks or used as a standalone web page. The simple Python API opens up the possibility for simple integration as well. Furthermore, its features focus on simplifying DL experiment management: logging and monitoring model and data versions, hyperparameter values, evaluation metrics, artifacts, and other related information.

Another interesting feature of W&B is its built-in hyperparameter search feature called Sweeps (https://docs.wandb.ai/guides/sweeps). Sweeps can easily be set up using the Python API, and the results and models can be compared interactively on the W&B web page.

Finally, W&B automatically creates reports for you that summarize and organize a set of experiments intuitively (https://docs.wandb.ai/guides/reports).
