Overview of this book

Deep learning enables previously unattainable feats in automation, but extracting real-world business value from it is a daunting task. This book will teach you how to build complex deep learning models and gain intuition for structuring your data to accomplish your deep learning objectives. This deep learning book explores every aspect of the deep learning life cycle, from planning and data preparation to model deployment and governance, using real-world scenarios that will take you through creating, deploying, and managing advanced solutions. You’ll also learn how to work with image, audio, text, and video data using deep learning architectures, as well as optimize and evaluate your deep learning models objectively to address issues such as bias, fairness, adversarial attacks, and model transparency. As you progress, you’ll harness the power of AI platforms to streamline the deep learning life cycle and leverage Python libraries and frameworks such as PyTorch, ONNX, Catalyst, MLFlow, Captum, Nvidia Triton, Prometheus, and Grafana to execute efficient deep learning architectures, optimize model performance, and streamline the deployment processes. You’ll also discover the transformative potential of large language models (LLMs) for a wide array of applications. By the end of this book, you'll have mastered deep learning techniques to unlock its full potential for your endeavors.

Exploring unsupervised deep learning applications

Today, practitioners have been able to leverage unsupervised deep learning to tap into their unlabeled data to achieve either one of the following use cases. These have been put in descending order in terms of their impact and usefulness:

  • Creating pretrained network weights for downstream tasks
  • Creating general representations that can be used as-is in downstream supervised tasks by predictive supervised models
  • Achieving one-shot and zero-shot learning
  • Performing dimensionality reduction
  • Detect anomalies in external data
  • Clustering the provided training data into groups

To start, note that pure clustering is still a core application of unsupervised learning in general, but not for deep learning. Clustering is where unlabeled data is grouped into multiple arbitrary clusters or classes. This will be useful in use cases such as customer segmentation for targeted responses, or topic modeling to figure...
