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.

Deep Neural Architecture Search

The previous chapters introduced and recapped different neural networks (NNs) that are designed to handle different types of data. Designing these networks requires knowledge and intuition that can only be gained by consuming years of research in the field. The bulk of these networks are hand-designed by experts and researchers. This includes inventing completely novel NN layers and constructing an actually usable architecture by combining and stacking NN layers that already exist. Both tasks require a ton of iterative experimentation time to burn to actually achieve success in creating a network that is useful.

Now, imagine a world where we can focus on inventing useful novel layers while the software takes care of automating the final architecture-building process. Automated architecture search methods help to accomplish exactly that by streamlining the task of designing the best final NN architecture, as long as appropriate search spaces are selected...
