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 the dimensionality reduction component of unsupervised deep learning

Dimensionality reduction is a technique that can be useful in cases where a faster runtime is needed to train and perform inference on your model or when the model has a hard time learning from too much data. The most well-known unsupervised deep learning method for dimensionality reduction is based on autoencoders, which we discussed in Chapter 5, Understanding Autoencoders. A typical autoencoder network is trained to reproduce the input data as an unsupervised learning method. This is done through the encoder-decoder structure. At inference time, using only the encoder will allow you to perform dimensionality reduction as the outputs of the encoder will contain the most compact representation, which can fully reconstruct the original input data. Autoencoders can support different modalities, with one modality at any one time, which makes it a very versatile unsupervised dimensionality reduction method...
