# Chapter 3 - Learning Techniques "The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go." — Dr. Seuss Model quality is an important benchmark translation accuracy would garner better consumer support. In this chapter, our focus will be on the techniques that enable us to achieve our quality goals. High quality models have an additional benefit in first chapter, we briefly introduced learning techniques such as regularization, dropout, data augmentation, and distillation to improve quality. These techniques can boost metrics like accuracy, precision

# Chapter 2 - Compression Techniques “I have made this longer than usual because I have not had time to make it shorter.” Blaise Pascal In the last chapter, we discussed a few ideas to improve the deep learning efficiency. Now, we will elaborate on one of those ideas, the compression techniques. Compression techniques aim to reduce the model footprint (size, latency, memory etc.). We can reduce the model reduce the number of layers and number of parameters, but this could hurt the quality. Compression techniques are used to achieve an efficient representation of one or more layers in a neural network with

# Advanced Compression Techniques “The problem is that we attempt to solve the simplest questions cleverly, thereby rendering them unusually complex. One should seek the simple solution.” — Anton Pavlovich Pavlovich Chekhov In this chapter, we will discuss two advanced compression techniques. By ‘advanced’ we mean that these techniques are slightly more involved than quantization (as discussed in the second help improve the quality of our models. Did we get you excited yet? Let's learn about these techniques together! ## Model Compression Using Sparsity Sparsity or Pruning refers to the technique of

# Chapter 6 - Advanced Learning Techniques “Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn.” – Benjamin Franklin This chapter is a continuation of Chapter 3, where we introduced introduced learning techniques. To recap, learning techniques can help us meet our model quality goals. Techniques like distillation and data augmentation improve the model quality, without increasing the impressive quality with a small number of labels. As we described in chapter 3's 'Learning Techniques and Efficiency' section, labeling of training data is an expensive undertaking. Factoring in
