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 statistical tests for comparing model metrics

In machine learning, metric-based model evaluation often involves using averages of aggregated metrics from different folds or partitions, such as holdout and validation sets, to compare the performance of various models. However, relying solely on these average performance metrics may not provide a comprehensive assessment of a model’s performance and generalizability. A more robust approach to model evaluation is the incorporation of statistical hypothesis tests, which assess whether observed differences in performance are statistically significant or due to random chance.

Statistical hypothesis tests are procedures used to determine whether observed data provides sufficient evidence to reject a null hypothesis in favor of an alternative hypothesis, helping to quantify the likelihood that the observed differences are due to random chance or a genuine effect. In statistical tests, the null hypothesis (H0) is a default...
