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.

Uncovering transformer improvements using only the decoder

Recall that the decoder block of the transformer focuses on an autoregressive structure. For the decoder-only transformer line of models, the task of predicting tokens autoregressively remains the same. With the removal of the encoder, the architecture has to adapt its input to accept more than one sentence, similar to what BERT does. Starting, ending, and separator tokens are used to encode input data sequentially. Masking is still performed to prevent the model from depending on the current token to predict future tokens from the input data during predictions, which is similar to the original transformer along with positional embeddings.

Diving into the GPT model family

All these architectural concepts were introduced by the GPT model in 2018, which is short for generative pre-training. As the name suggests, GPT also adopts unsupervised pre-training as the initial stage and subsequently moves into the supervised fine...
