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.

Summary

This chapter focused on CNNs, which consist of a kind of neural network architecture that performs outstandingly well on computer vision problems. We started by explaining the main reasons why CNNs are widely used for dealing with image datasets, as well as providing an introduction to the different tasks that can be solved through their use.

This chapter explained the different building blocks of a network's architecture by explaining the nature of convolutional layers, pooling layers, and, finally, FC layers. In each section, an explanation of the purpose of each layer was included, as well as code snippets that can be used to effectively code the architecture in PyTorch.

This led to the introduction of an image classification problem focused on classifying images of vehicles and animals. The purpose of this problem was to put the different building blocks of CNNs into practice to solve an image classification data problem.

Next, data augmentation was introduced...
