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 bias and fairness evaluation methods

Fairness and bias are opposing concepts. Fairness seeks to ensure fair and equal treatment in decision-making for all individuals or groups, while bias refers to unfair or unequal treatment. Mitigating bias is a crucial step in achieving fairness. Bias can exist in different forms and addressing all potential biases is complicated. Additionally, it’s important to understand that achieving fairness in one aspect doesn’t guarantee the complete absence of bias in general.

To understand both how much bias and how fair our data and model are, what we need is a set of bias and fairness metrics to objectively measure and evaluate. This will then enable a feedback mechanism to iteratively and objectively mitigate bias and achieve fairness. Let’s go through a few robust bias and fairness metrics that you need to have in your arsenal of tools to achieve fairness:

  • Equal representation-based metrics: This set of metrics...
