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 neurons

Neurons in NN layers produce features that will be consumed by subsequent layers. The features or activations produced are simply an indicator of how prominent a learned pattern is in the input data. But have you ever wondered what the patterns are? Decoding the actual patterns learned by the NN can further improve the transparency needed to achieve the goals mentioned in the Exploring the value of prediction explanations section of Chapter 11, Explaining Neural Network Predictions.

Data is composed of many complicated patterns combined into a single sample. Traditionally, to discern what a neuron is detecting, much input data has to be evaluated and compared against other data so that a qualitative conclusion can be made by humans, which is both time-consuming and hard to get right. This method allows us to pinpoint the actual pattern that causes a high activation value visually, without the disturbance of other highly correlated patterns.
