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.

Summary

MLPs are the foundational piece of architecture in deep learning that transcends just processing tabular data and is more than an old architecture that got superseded. MLPs are very commonly utilized as a sub-component in many advanced neural network architectures today to either provide more automatic feature engineering, reduce the dimensionality of large features, or shape the features into the desired shapes for target predictions. Look out for MLPs or, more importantly, the fully connected layer, in the next few architectures that are going to be introduced in the next few chapters!

The automatic gradient computation provided by deep learning frameworks simplifies the implementation of backpropagation and allows us to focus on designing new neural networks. It is essential to ensure that the mathematical functions used in these networks are differentiable, although this is often taken care of when adopting successful research findings. And that’s the beauty of...
