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.

Understanding neural network gradients

The goal of machine learning for an MLP is to find the weights and biases that will effectively map the inputs to the desired outputs. The weights and biases generally get initialized randomly. In the training process, with a provided dataset, they get updated iteratively and objectively in batches to minimize the loss function, which uses gradients computed with a method called backward propagation, also known as backpropagation. A batch is a subset of the dataset used for training or evaluation, allowing the neural network to process the data in smaller groups rather than the entire dataset at once. The loss function is also known as the error function or the cost function.

Backpropagation is a technique to find out how sensitive a change of weights and bias of every neuron is to the overall loss by using the partial derivative of the loss with respect to the weights and biases. Partial derivatives from calculus are a measure of the rate...
