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.

Ideation and planning

Usually, in an organization the product team shows up with a problem statement for the engineering team, wanting to know whether they can solve it or not. This is the start of the ideation phase. In academia, this could be the decision phase, where candidates have to find a problem for their thesis. In the ideation phase, the engineers brainstorm and find the theoretical implementations that could potentially solve the problem. Along with converting the problem statement to a theoretical solution, the ideation phase is where we decide what the data types are and what dataset we should use to build the proof of concept (POC) of the minimum viable product (MVP). This is the stage where the team decides which framework to go with by analyzing the behavior of the problem statement, existing available implementations, available pretrained models, and so on.

This stage is very common in the industry and I have thousands of examples where a well-planned ideation phase...
