About this title

Synopsis

Every other day we hear about new ways to put deep learning to good use: improved medical imaging, accurate credit card fraud detection, long range weather forecasting, and more. PyTorch puts these superpowers in your hands, providing a comfortable Python experience that gets you started quickly and then grows with you as you, and your deep learning skills, become more sophisticated.

Deep Learning with PyTorch teaches you how to implement deep learning algorithms with Python and PyTorch. This book takes you into a fascinating case study: building an algorithm capable of detecting malignant lung tumors using CT scans. As the authors guide you through this real example, you'll discover just how effective and fun PyTorch can be.  

Key features

• Using the PyTorch tensor API 

• Understanding automatic differentiation in PyTorch

• Training deep neural networks 

• Monitoring training and visualizing results

• Interoperability with NumPy

Audience

Written for developers with some knowledge of Python as well as basic linear algebra skills. Some understanding of deep learning will be helpful, however no experience with PyTorch or other deep learning frameworks is required.

About the technology

PyTorch is a machine learning framework with a strong focus on deep neural networks. Because it emphasizes GPU-based acceleration, PyTorch performs exceptionally well on readily-available hardware and scales easily to larger systems.
