Welcome to the applied AI deep-learning team, and to our first project—Building a Common Deep Learning Environment! We're excited about the projects we've assembled in this book. The foundation of a common working environment will help us work together and learn very cool and powerful deep learning (DL) technologies, such as computer vision (CV) and natural language processing (NLP), that you will be able to use in your professional career as a data scientist.
The following topics will be covered in this chapter:
- Components in building a common DL environment
- Setting up a local DL environment
- Setting up a DL environment in the cloud
- Using the cloud for deployment for DL applications
- Automating the setup process to reduce errors and get started quickly
