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 gradient-based prediction explanations

Most up-to-date neural network-based explanation techniques today are variations of using the gradients that can be obtained through backpropagation. Gradient-based explanations for neural network models work because they rely on the fundamental principle of how the weights in a neural network are updated during the training process using backpropagation. During backpropagation, the partial derivatives of the loss function concerning the weights in the network are calculated, which gives us the gradient of the loss function concerning the weights.

This gradient provides us with a measure of how much the input data contributes to the overall loss. Remember that gradients measure the sensitivity of the input value concerning the loss function. This means it provides the degree of fluctuation of the predictions when you modify the specific input value, which represents the importance of the input data. Input data can be chosen to be...
