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.

Efficient Model Training

Similar to how we scaled up data processing pipelines in the previous chapter, we can reduce the time it takes to train deep learning (DL) models by allocating more computational resources. In this chapter, we will learn how to configure the TensorFlow (TF) and PyTorch training logic to utilize multiple CPU and GPU devices on different machines. First, we will learn how TF and PyTorch support distributed training without any external tools. Next, we will describe how to utilize SageMaker, since it is built to handle the DL pipeline on the cloud from end to end. Lastly, we will look at tools that have been developed specifically for distributed training: Horovod, Ray, and Kubeflow.

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

  • Training a model on a single machine
  • Training a model on a cluster
  • Training a model using SageMaker
  • Training a model using Horovod
  • Training a model using Ray
  • Training a model using...
