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.

Revealing the Secret of Deep Learning Models

So far, we have described how to construct and efficiently train a deep learning (DL) model. However, model training often involves multiple iterations because only rough guidance on how to configure the training correctly for a given task exists.

In this chapter, we will introduce hyperparameter tuning, the most standard process of finding the right training configuration. As we guide you through the steps of hyperparameter tuning, we will introduce popular search algorithms adopted for the tuning process (grid search, random search, and Bayesian optimization). We will also look into the field of Explainable AI, which is the process of understanding what models do during prediction. We will describe the three most common techniques in this domain: Permutation Feature Importance (PFI), SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP), Local Interpretable Model-agnostic Explanations (LIME).

In this chapter, we’re going to cover the following...
