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.

Decoding the original transformer architecture holistically

Before we look into the structure of the model, let’s talk about the basic intent of transformers.

As we covered in the previous chapter, transformers are also a family of architectures that utilize the concept of encoder and decoder. The encoder encodes data into what is known as the code and the decoder decodes the code into a data format that looks similar to raw, unprocessed data. The very first transformer used both the encoder and decoder concepts to build the entire architecture and demonstrated its application in text generation. The subsequent adaptations and improvements either used only the encoder or only the decoder to achieve different tasks. In a transformer, however, the encoder’s goal is not to compress the data to achieve a smaller and more compact representation of the data, but instead mainly to serve as a feature extractor. Additionally, the decoder’s goal for transformers is not...
