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, the most traditional neural network architecture was explained and applied to a real-life data problem. In this chapter, we will explore the different concepts of CNNs, which are mainly used to solve computer vision problems (that is, image processing).

Even though all neural network domains are popular nowadays, CNNs are probably the most popular of all neural network architectures. This is mainly because, although they work in many domains, they are particularly good at dealing with images, and advances in technology have allowed the collection and storage of large amounts of images, which makes it possible to tackle a great variety of today's challenges using images as input data.

From image classification to object detection, CNNs are being used to diagnose cancer patients and detect fraud in systems, as well as to construct well-thought-out self-driving vehicles that will revolutionize the future.

This chapter will focus on explaining...
