Overview of this book

PyTorch is making it easier than ever before for anyone to build deep learning applications. This PyTorch deep learning book will help you uncover expert techniques to get the most out of your data and build complex neural network models. You’ll build convolutional neural networks for image classification and recurrent neural networks and transformers for sentiment analysis. As you advance, you'll apply deep learning across different domains, such as music, text, and image generation, using generative models, including diffusion models. You'll not only build and train your own deep reinforcement learning models in PyTorch but also learn to optimize model training using multiple CPUs, GPUs, and mixed-precision training. You’ll deploy PyTorch models to production, including mobile devices. Finally, you’ll discover the PyTorch ecosystem and its rich set of libraries. These libraries will add another set of tools to your deep learning toolbelt, teaching you how to use fastai to prototype models and PyTorch Lightning to train models. You’ll discover libraries for AutoML and explainable AI (XAI), create recommendation systems, and build language and vision transformers with Hugging Face. By the end of this book, you'll be able to perform complex deep learning tasks using PyTorch to build smart artificial intelligence models.

Building PyTorch apps on iOS

In this section, we will create an iOS app that allows you to perform handwritten digit classification on camera-captured images of handwritten digits. We will reuse the mobile-optimized MNIST model from the Android app development section. All code for this section is available on GitHub [11].

Setting up the iOS development environment

To build iOS apps, you need to download Xcode [12] on your MacBook. Xcode is an IDE created by Apple for developing software on iOS (and also on macOS, iPadOS, watchOS, and tvOS). It is the primary tool used by developers to create applications and software for Apple’s various platforms.

Note

You will need Xcode version 11 or higher to build this app. Xcode is the IDE to build iOS apps. You must have a MacBook to build iOS apps.

Before we open Xcode, from the command line, we need to first set the current working directory to the iOS/HelloWorld folder [13]. From this directory, we...
