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 Model Evaluation Methods

A trained deep learning model without any form of validation cannot be deployed to production. Production, in the context of the machine learning software domain, refers to the deployment and operation of a machine learning model in a live environment for actual consumption of its predictions. More broadly, model evaluation serves as a critical component in any deep learning project. Typically, a deep learning project will result in many models being built, and a final model will be chosen to serve in a production environment. A good model evaluation process for any project leads to the following:

  • A better-performing final model through model comparisons and metrics
  • Fewer production prediction mishaps by understanding common model pitfalls
  • More closely aligned practitioner and final model behaviors through model insights
  • A higher probability of project success through success metric evaluation
  • A final model that is less biased...
