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.

Training a DCGAN using PyTorch

In this section, we will build, train, and test a DCGAN model using PyTorch in the form of an exercise. We will use an image dataset to train the model and test how well the generator of the trained DCGAN model performs when producing fake images.

Defining the generator

In the following exercise, we will only show the important parts of the code for demonstration purposes. In order to access the full code, you can refer to our github repository [9.3] :

  1. First, we need to import the required libraries, as follows:
import os
import numpy as np
import torch
import torch.nn as nn
import torch.nn.functional as F
from torch.utils.data import DataLoader
from torch.autograd import Variable
import torchvision.transforms as transforms
from torchvision.utils import save_image
from torchvision import datasets

In this exercise, we only need torch and torchvision to build the DCGAN model.

  1. After importing the libraries, we specify some model hyperparameters, as shown...
