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.

Understanding how to transfer style between images

In Chapter 2, Deep CNN Architectures, we discussed convolutional neural networks (CNNs) in detail. CNNs are some of the most successful models when working with image data on tasks such as image classification and object detection, among others. One of the core reasons behind this success is the ability of convolutional layers to learn spatial representations.

For example, in a dog versus cat classifier, the CNN model is essentially able to capture the content of an image while extracting higher-level features, which helps it detect dog-specific features against cat-specific features. We will leverage this ability of an image classifier CNN to grasp the content of an image.

We know that VGG is a powerful image classification model, as discussed in Chapter 2, Deep CNN Architectures. We are going to use the convolutional part of the VGG model (excluding the linear layers) to extract content-related features from an image.
