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.

Implementing neural network layers for foundational problem types

In Chapters 2 to 7, although many types of NN layers were introduced, the core layers for the problem types were either not used or not explained. Here, we will go through each of them for clarity and intuition.

Implementing the binary classification layer

Binary means two options for categorical data. Note that this does not necessarily mean a strict rule for the categories to be true or false nor positive or negative in the raw data. The two options can be in any format possible in terms of raw data, in strings, numbers, or symbols. However, note that NNs can always only produce numerical outputs. This means that the target itself has to be represented numerically, for which the optimal numbers are the binary values of zero and one. This means that the data column to be used as a target for training with only two unique values must go through preprocessing to map itself into zero or one.

Generally, there are...
