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.

Discovering the counterfactual explanation strategy

Counterfactual explanation or reasoning is a method of understanding and explaining anything in general by considering alternative and counterfactual scenarios or “what-if” situations. In the context of prediction explanations, it involves identifying changes in the input data that would lead to a different outcome. Ideally, the minimal changes should be identified. In the context of NN interpretation, it involves visualizing the opposite of the target label or intermediate latent features. This approach makes sense to use because it closely aligns with how humans naturally explain events and assess causality, which ultimately allows us to comprehend the underlying decision-making process of the model better.

Humans tend to think in terms of cause and effect, and we often explore alternative possibilities to make sense of events or decisions. For example, when trying to understand why a certain decision was made,...
