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.

Identifying key DL model deployment requirements

To determine the most suitable deployment strategy from a variety of options, it is essential to identify and define seven key requirements. These are latency and availability, cost, scalability, model hardware, data privacy, safety, and trust and reliability requirements. Let’s dive into each of these requirements in detail:

  • Latency and availability requirements: These are two closely connected components and should be defined together. Availability requirements refer to the desired level of uptime and accessibility of the model’s prediction. Latency requirements refer to the maximum acceptable delay or response time that the models must meet to provide timely predictions or results. A deployment with a low availability requirement usually can tolerate high latency predictions, and vice versa. One reason is that a low-latency capable infrastructure can’t ensure low latency if it is not available when model...
