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.

Interpreting Neural Networks

When trying to comprehend the reasons behind a model’s prediction, local per-sample feature importance can be a valuable tool. This method enables you to focus your analysis on a smaller part of the input data, resulting in a more targeted understanding of key features that contributed to the model’s output. However, it is often still unclear which patterns the models are using to identify highly important features. This issue can be somewhat circumvented by reviewing more prediction explanations from targeted samples meant to strategically discern the actual reason for the prediction, which will also be introduced practically later in this chapter. However, this method is limited to the available number of samples you must validate your model against, and it can sometimes still be difficult to pinpoint the pattern used concretely.

Deep neural networks (DNNs) learn low- to high-level features that help the prediction layer discern the right...
