PyTorch Deep Learning Hands-On

By: Sherin Thomas, Sudhanshu Passi

Overview of this book

PyTorch Deep Learning Hands-On is a book for engineers who want a fast-paced guide to doing deep learning work with PyTorch. It is not an academic textbook and does not try to teach deep learning principles. The book will help you most if you want to get your hands dirty and put PyTorch to work quickly. PyTorch Deep Learning Hands-On shows how to implement the major deep learning architectures in PyTorch. It covers neural networks, computer vision, CNNs, natural language processing (RNN), GANs, and reinforcement learning. You will also build deep learning workflows with the PyTorch framework, migrate models built in Python to highly efficient TorchScript, and deploy to production using the most sophisticated available tools. Each chapter focuses on a different area of deep learning. Chapters start with a refresher on how the model works, before sharing the code you need to implement it in PyTorch. This book is ideal if you want to rapidly add PyTorch to your deep learning toolset.

The problem

Have you ever played the game Fizz buzz? Don't worry if you haven't. The following is a simple explanation of what the game is about.

Note

As per Wikipedia, Fizz buzz [1] is a group word game for children that teaches them about division. Players take turns to count incrementally. Any number divisible [2] by three is replaced by the word fizz and any number divisible by five is replaced by the word buzz. Numbers divisible by both become fizz buzz.

Fizz buzz has been used in a fun example by Joel Grus, one of the research engineers at the Allen Institute of Artificial Intelligence (AI2), while writing a blog post [3] on TensorFlow. Although this particular example doesn't solve any practical problems, the blog post got quite a lot of traction and it is fun to see how a neural network learns to find a mathematical pattern from a number stream.
