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.

Summary

In this chapter, we first discussed the different relevant Hugging Face components for PyTorch users. We then established how to use the transformers library (the most important Hugging Face library) together with PyTorch. Next, we learned about the Hugging Face Hub, which provides a wide range of over 650,000 pre-trained models, and used the Hub to load the BERT model for inference. We then explored the Hugging Face datasets library, which gives us access to over 144,000 datasets. We learned how to use it with PyTorch through an example of fine-tuning a pre-trained model.

Next, we learned about the accelerate library from Hugging Face, and how it can be used to speed up PyTorch training code with just five lines of code changes. We then explored the Optimum library from Hugging Face and used it to convert a PyTorch model to an ONNX model. We used the ONNX model for inference using ONNX Runtime. Finally, we used Optimum to quantize the ONNX model into a 4x smaller model...
