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.

Designing Deep Learning Architectures

In the previous chapter, we went through the entire deep learning life cycle and understood what it means to make a deep learning project successful from end to end. With that knowledge, we are now ready to dive further into the technicalities of deep learning models. In this chapter, we will dive into common deep learning architectures used in the industry and understand the reasons behind each architecture’s design. For intermediate and advanced readers, this will be a brief recap to ensure alignment in the definitions of terms. For beginner readers, architectures will be presented in a way that is easy to digest so that you can get up to speed on the useful neural architectures in the world of deep learning.

Grasping the methodologies behind a wide variety of architectures allows you to innovate custom architectures specific to your use case and, most importantly, gain the skill to choose an appropriate foundational architecture based...
