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 advancements over the standard GRU and LSTM layers

GRU and LSTM are the most widely used RNN methods today, but one might wonder how to push the boundaries achievable by a standard GRU or a standard LSTM. One good start to building this intuition is to understand that both of the layer types are capable of accepting sequential data, and to build a network you need multiple RNN layers. This means that it is entirely possible to combine GRU and LSTM layers in the same network. This, however, is not credible enough to be considered an advancement as a fully LSTM network or a fully GRU network can exceed the performance of a combined LSTM and GRU network at any time. Let’s dive into another simple improvement you can make on top of these standard RNN layers, called bidirectional RNN.

Decoding bidirectional RNN

Both GRU and LSTM rely on the sequential nature of the data. This order of the sequence can be forward in increasing time steps and also can be backward...
