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 the pooling layer

With just a forward pass from a CNN layer of an image, the size of the two-dimensional output data is likely reduced but is still a substantial size. To reduce the size of the data further, a layer type called a pooling layer is used to aggregate and consolidate the values strategically while still maintaining useful information. Think of this operation as an image-resizing method while maintaining as much information as possible. This layer has no parameters for learning and is mainly added to simply and meaningfully reduce the output data. The pooling layer works by applying a similar sliding window filter process with similar configurations as the convolutional layers but instead of applying a dot product and adding a bias, a type of aggregation is done. The aggregation function can be either maximum aggregation, minimum aggregation, or average aggregation. The layers that apply these aggregations are called max pooling, min pooling, and average pooling...
