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.

Problem Definition

Defining the problem is as important as building your model or improving accuracy. This is because, while you may be able to use the most powerful algorithm and use the most advanced methodologies to improve its results, this may prove pointless if you are solving the wrong problem or using the wrong data.

It is crucial to learn how to think deeply to understand what can and cannot be done, and how what can be done can be accomplished. This is especially important considering that when we are learning to apply machine learning or deep learning algorithms, the problems presented in most courses are always clearly defined, and there is no need for further analysis other than training the model and improving its performance. On the other hand, in real life, problems are often confusing, and data is often messy.

In this section, you will learn about some of the best practices for defining your problem based on the needs of your organization and on the data that...
