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.

Summary

We started the chapter with hyperparameter tuning. We described the three basic search algorithms that are used for hyperparameter tuning (grid search, random search, and Bayesian optimization) and introduced many tools you can integrate into your project. Out of the tools we listed, we covered Ray Tune as it supports distributed hyperparameter tuning and implements many of the state-of-the-art search algorithms out of the box.

Then, we discussed Explainable AI. We explained the most standard techniques (PFI, FI, SHAP, and LIME) and how they can be used to find out how a model's behavior changes with respect to each feature in a dataset.

In the next chapter, we will shift our focus toward deployment. We will learn about ONNX, an open format for ML models, and look at how to convert a TF or PyTorch model into an ONNX model.
