Python (along with R) has become the dominant language in machine learning and data science. It is now commonly used to fit complex models to messy datasets. PyTorch is an open-source machine learning library for Python, based on Torch, used for applications such as natural language processing. It is primarily developed by Facebook’s artificial-intelligence research group, and Uber’s Pyro software for probabilistic programming is built on it.
Leverage the power of existing neural network architectures and weights. This is a powerful technique for training finely tuned models for accomplishing tasks with your own data.
An exploration of other types of deep learning, the tasks that they aim to solve and how we might implement these in PyTorch. For example unsupervised, reinforcement learning.
The course assumes familiarity with the python programming language including experience of OOP, writing ones own classes in python. Some knowledge of calculus, matrix algebra and probability would be helpful but not essential.
