We assume you have a recent version of Anaconda installed on your computer and have followed the steps in Chapter 1, Getting Started with CNTK, to install CNTK on your computer. The sample code for this chapter can be found in our GitHub repository at: https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Deep-Learning-with-Microsoft-Cognitive-Toolkit-Quick-Start-Guide/tree/master/ch5.
In this chapter, we'll work on an example stored in a Jupyter notebook. To access the sample code, run the following commands inside an Anaconda prompt in the directory where you've downloaded the code:
cd ch5
jupyter notebook
We'll mention relevant notebooks in each of the sections so you can follow along and try out the different techniques yourself.
