Summary
In this chapter, we introduced PyTorch and some of its key features. Hopefully, you now have a better understanding of how PyTorch differs from other deep learning frameworks and how it can be used to build basic neural networks. While these simple examples are just the tip of the iceberg, we have illustrated that PyTorch is an immensely powerful tool for NLP analysis and learning.
In future chapters, we will demonstrate how the unique properties of PyTorch can be utilized to build highly sophisticated models for solving very complex machine learning tasks.
