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.

Finding neurons to interpret

With millions and billions of neurons in today’s SoTA architectures, it’s impossible to interpret every single neuron, and, frankly, a waste of time. The choice of the neuron to explain should depend on your goal. The following list shows some of the different goals and associated methods for choosing suitable neurons:

  • Finding out what a certain prediction label or class pattern looks like: In this case, you should simply choose a neuron specific to the prediction of the target label or class. This is usually done to understand whether the model captured the desired patterns of the class well, or whether it learned irrelevant features. This can also be useful in multilabel scenarios where multiple labels always only exist together, and you want to decouple the labels to understand the input patterns associated with a single label better.
  • Wanting to understand the latent reasons why a specific label can be predicted in your dataset...
