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.

Summary

Sequential data is one of the most active research fields in deep learning, especially because natural language data is sequential. But sequential data processing is not just limited to that. Time series data, which is essentially everything that happens around us, including sound, other waveforms, and more, is all sequential in nature.

The most difficult problem in processing sequence data is long-term dependency, but sequential data comes with a lot more complexities. RNNs were the breakthrough in the sequence data processing field. Thousands of different variations of RNNs have been explored by researchers and it's still an actively growing field.

In this chapter, we have gone through the basic building blocks of sequential data processing. Although we have worked only with the English language, the techniques we have learned here are generally applicable to any type of data. Understanding these building blocks is crucial for beginners because everything that ...
