Technical requirements
Ensure that you have completed the setup sections from Chapter 1, Getting Started with fastai, and have a working Gradient instance or Colab setup. The recipes described in this chapter assume that you are using Gradient. Ensure that you have cloned the repository for the book from https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Deep-Learning-with-fastai-Cookbook and have access to the ch4
folder. This folder contains the code samples described in this chapter.
Some of the examples in this chapter will take over an hour to run.
Note
Do not use Colab for these examples. With Colab you cannot control the GPU that you get for a session and these examples may run for many hours. For the examples in this chapter, use a for-pay GPU-enabled Gradient environment to ensure they complete in a reasonable time.
