About this title

Synopsis

Build, train, deploy, and scale deep learning models quickly and accurately, improving your productivity using the lightweight PyTorch Wrapper

Key Features

• Become well-versed with PyTorch Lightning architecture and learn how it can be implemented in various industry domains
• Speed up your research using PyTorch Lightning by creating new loss functions, networks, and architectures
• Train and build new algorithms for massive data using distributed training

Book Description

PyTorch Lightning lets researchers build their own Deep Learning (DL) models without having to worry about the boilerplate. With the help of this book, you'll be able to maximize productivity for DL projects while ensuring full flexibility from model formulation through to implementation. You'll take a hands-on approach to implementing PyTorch Lightning models to get up to speed in no time.

You'll start by learning how to configure PyTorch Lightning on a cloud platform, understand the architectural components, and explore how they are configured to build various industry solutions. Next, you'll build a network and application from scratch and see how you can expand it based on your specific needs, beyond what the framework can provide. The book also demonstrates how to implement out-of-box capabilities to build and train Self-Supervised Learning, semi-supervised learning, and time series models using PyTorch Lightning. As you advance, you'll discover how generative adversarial networks (GANs) work. Finally, you'll work with deployment-ready applications, focusing on faster performance and scaling, model scoring on massive volumes of data, and model debugging.

By the end of this PyTorch book, you'll have developed the knowledge and skills necessary to build and deploy your own scalable DL applications using PyTorch Lightning.
