The Deep Learning with PyTorch Workshop

By: Hyatt Saleh

Overview of this book

Want to get to grips with one of the most popular machine learning libraries for deep learning? The Deep Learning with PyTorch Workshop will help you do just that, jumpstarting your knowledge of using PyTorch for deep learning even if you’re starting from scratch. It’s no surprise that deep learning’s popularity has risen steeply in the past few years, thanks to intelligent applications such as self-driving vehicles, chatbots, and voice-activated assistants that are making our lives easier. This book will take you inside the world of deep learning, where you’ll use PyTorch to understand the complexity of neural network architectures. The Deep Learning with PyTorch Workshop starts with an introduction to deep learning and its applications. You’ll explore the syntax of PyTorch and learn how to define a network architecture and train a model. Next, you’ll learn about three main neural network architectures - convolutional, artificial, and recurrent - and even solve real-world data problems using these networks. Later chapters will show you how to create a style transfer model to develop a new image from two images, before finally taking you through how RNNs store memory to solve key data issues. By the end of this book, you’ll have mastered the essential concepts, tools, and libraries of PyTorch to develop your own deep neural networks and intelligent apps.

Introduction

In the previous chapter, we learned about the building blocks of DNNs and reviewed the characteristics of the three most common architectures. Additionally, we learned how to solve a regression problem using a DNN.

In this chapter, we will use DNNs to solve a classification task, where the objective is to predict an outcome from a series of options.

One field that makes use of such models is banking. This is mainly due to their need to predict future behavior based on demographic data, alongside the main objective of ensuring profitability in the long term. Some of the uses in the banking sector include the evaluation of loan applications, credit card approval, the prediction of stock market prices, and the detection of fraud by analyzing behavior.

This chapter will focus on solving a classification banking problem using a deep artificial neural network (ANN), following all the steps required to arrive at an effective model: data exploration, data preparation...
