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.

Summary

Transformers are versatile NNs capable of capturing relationships of any data modality without explicit data-specific biases in the architecture. Instead of a neural network architecture capable of ingesting different data modalities directly, careful considerations of the data input structure along with crafting proper training task objectives are needed to successfully build a performant transformer. The benefits of pre-training still hold true even for the current SOTA architecture. The act of pre-training is part of a concept called transfer learning, which will be covered more extensively in the supervised and unsupervised learning chapters. Transformers can currently perform both data generation and supervised learning tasks in general with more and more research experimenting with using transformers in unexplored niche tasks and data modalities. Look forward to more deep learning innovations in the coming years with transformers being at the forefront of the advancement...
