Chapter 6: Model Training Workflow with PyTorch

Image
Abstract : The PyTorch model training workflow typically follows a series of fundamental steps to prepare data, define a model, train it, evaluate its performance, and finally, save and load it for future use. 1. Getting Data Ready: This initial stage involves preparing your dataset for training. This includes: Data Loading:   Using  torch.utils.data.Dataset  to represent your data and  torch.utils.data.DataLoader  to efficiently load and batch it. Preprocessing:   Cleaning, transforming, and augmenting your data as needed (e.g., normalization, resizing images). 2. Defining and Building a Model: This step involves creating the neural network architecture that will learn patterns from your data. Model Definition:   Subclassing  torch.nn.Module  to define the layers and forward pass of your model. Loss Function:   Choosing an appropriate loss function (e.g.,  nn.MSELoss  for regression,  nn.CrossEntropyLoss ...

Chapter 5: Data Handling with torch.utils.data with PyTorch

Image
Abstract : PyTorch's  torch.utils.data  module provides essential tools for efficient and organized data handling, primarily through the  Dataset  and  DataLoader  classes. These abstractions streamline the process of loading, preprocessing, and feeding data into a model, especially for large or complex datasets.   1.  torch.utils.data.Dataset : Purpose:  This is an abstract class that represents a dataset. You typically create a custom dataset by subclassing  Dataset  and implementing two key methods: __len__(self) : Returns the total number of samples in the dataset. __getitem__(self, idx) : Retrieves a single sample and its corresponding label (or other target information) at the given index  idx . This is where you would load data from disk, apply transformations, and prepare it for your model. Example: Python import torch from torch.utils.data import Dataset class CustomImageDatas...

Chapter 4: Building Neural Networks with PyTorch

Image
Abstract : Building neural networks with PyTorch typically involves defining a model, preparing data, and then training the model. 1. Defining the Neural Network Model: Inherit from  nn.Module :  Create a class for your neural network that inherits from  torch.nn.Module . This provides essential functionality for managing layers and parameters. Initialize Layers in  __init__ :  Define the individual layers of your network (e.g.,  nn.Linear  for fully connected layers,  nn.Conv2d  for convolutional layers,  nn.ReLU  for activation functions) within the  __init__  method. Define Forward Pass in  forward :  Implement the  forward  method, which dictates how data flows through the defined layers to produce an output. Example of a simple feedforward network: Python import torch from torch import nn class SimpleNeuralNetwork (nn.Module): def __init__ ( self ): super().__init...

Chapter 2: PyTorch Basics : Essential for Mastering PyTorch

Image
Abstract   PyTorch is an open-source machine learning library primarily used for building and training deep learning models. Its key features and fundamental concepts include:   1. Tensors: Tensors are the fundamental data structure in PyTorch, similar to NumPy arrays but with GPU acceleration capabilities. They represent multi-dimensional arrays and are used to store data, model parameters, and intermediate computations. Operations on tensors are optimized for performance, especially on GPUs. 2. Autograd (Automatic Differentiation): PyTorch's  autograd  engine automatically computes gradients for all operations on tensors with  requires_grad=True . This is crucial for backpropagation in neural networks, where gradients are used to update model parameters during training. It builds a dynamic computation graph, allowing for flexible model architectures and conditional computations. 3.  torch.nn  Module: This modu...

Chapter 3: Automatic Differentiation with Autograd in PyTorch

Image
Abstract : PyTorch's  autograd  package provides automatic differentiation for all operations on Tensors, forming the backbone of neural network training in PyTorch. It operates as a define-by-run framework, meaning the backpropagation process is dynamically defined by the execution of your code. Here's how automatic differentiation with  autograd  works in PyTorch: Tensors with  requires_grad=True : To enable  autograd  to track operations and compute gradients for a specific tensor, you must set its  requires_grad  attribute to  True . This signals to PyTorch that this tensor is part of a computation for which gradients need to be calculated. Python import torch x = torch.tensor( 2.0 , requires_grad= True ) y = torch.tensor( 3.0 , requires_grad= True ) Building the Computation Graph : As operations are performed on tensors with  requires_grad=True ,  autograd  impl...

Chapter 1: Introduction to Deep Learning and PyTorch

Image
Abstract : Deep Learning is a subfield of Machine Learning inspired by the structure and function of the human brain, utilizing artificial neural networks to learn from data. These networks consist of interconnected "neurons" organized in layers, including an input layer, one or more hidden layers, and an output layer. Deep learning excels at tasks involving complex pattern recognition in large datasets, such as image classification, natural language processing, and speech recognition. PyTorch is an open-source machine learning framework built on the Torch library and Python. It has become a popular choice for deep learning research and development due to its:   Pythonic Interface:   PyTorch's API is designed to be intuitive and integrate seamlessly with the Python ecosystem, making it accessible for developers familiar with Python. Dynamic Computation Graph:   Unlike some other frameworks, PyTorch uses a dynamic computation graph, allow...
