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 Convolutional Neural Networks

An MLP is structured to accept one-dimensional data and cannot directly work with two-dimensional data or higher-dimensional data without preprocessing. One-dimensional data is also called tabular data, which commonly includes categorical data, numerical data, and maybe text data. Two-dimensional data, or data with higher dimensions, is some form of image data. Image data can be in two-dimensional format when it is a grayscale formatted image, in three-dimensional format when it has RGB layers that closely represent what humans see, or in more than three dimensions with hyperspectral images. Usually, to make MLP work for images, you would have to flatten the data and effectively represent the same data in a one-dimensional format. Flattening the data might work well in some cases, but throwing away the spatial characteristics that define that image removes the potential of capturing that relationship to your target. Additionally, flattening...
