Mastering PyTorch

Deep CNN Architectures

In this chapter, we will first briefly review the evolution of Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) architectures, and then we will study the different CNN architectures in detail. We will implement these CNN architectures using PyTorch, and in doing so, we aim to exhaustively explore the tools (modules and built-in functions) that PyTorch has to offer in the context of building Deep CNNs. Gaining strong CNN expertise in PyTorch will enable us to solve a number of deep learning problems involving CNNs. This will also help us in building more complex deep learning models or applications of which CNNs are a part.

This chapter will cover the following topics:

  • Why are CNNs so powerful?
  • Evolution of CNN architectures
  • Developing LeNet from scratch
  • Fine-tuning the AlexNet model
  • Running a pretrained VGG model
  • Exploring GoogLeNet and Inception v3
  • Discussing ResNet and DenseNet architectures
  • Understanding EfficientNets and the future of CNN architectures

All the code files for this chapter can be found at https://github.com/arj7192/MasteringPyTorchV2/tree/main/Chapter03.

Let us start by discussing the key features of CNNs.

Description

PyTorch is making it easier than ever before for anyone to build deep learning applications. This PyTorch deep learning book will help you uncover expert techniques to get the most out of your data and build complex neural network models. You’ll build convolutional neural networks for image classification and recurrent neural networks and transformers for sentiment analysis. As you advance, you'll apply deep learning across different domains, such as music, text, and image generation, using generative models, including diffusion models. You'll not only build and train your own deep reinforcement learning models in PyTorch but also learn to optimize model training using multiple CPUs, GPUs, and mixed-precision training. You’ll deploy PyTorch models to production, including mobile devices. Finally, you’ll discover the PyTorch ecosystem and its rich set of libraries. These libraries will add another set of tools to your deep learning toolbelt, teaching you how to use fastai to prototype models and PyTorch Lightning to train models. You’ll discover libraries for AutoML and explainable AI (XAI), create recommendation systems, and build language and vision transformers with Hugging Face. By the end of this book, you'll be able to perform complex deep learning tasks using PyTorch to build smart artificial intelligence models.

Who is this book for?

This deep learning with PyTorch book is for data scientists, machine learning engineers, machine learning researchers, and deep learning practitioners looking to implement advanced deep learning models using PyTorch.

Absolutely love this book both as a reference and to learn new techniques.I'm a ML researcher converting from Tensorflow to Pytorch and wanted a reference guide as I made the transition. The hands-on code examples were super useful to get up and running, and much more clearly explained than just trying to Google what to do.The pieces on engineering included a bunch of optimisations I hadn't considered in in the past, so I ended up learning a lot more than I anticipated. This book is very well-rounded and considers both the practical application and the theory behind it.I would highly recommend to any ML researcher or engineer!

If you're looking for a hands-on, comprehensive guide to modern neural network architectures and the PyTorch ecosystem, this book is a gem! The author's decade of deep learning experience shines through with practical, step-by-step instructions that truly guide you in building state-of-the-art neural networks. The balance between depth and breadth is perfect.Whether you're a data scientist or machine learning engineer wanting to upskill in the latest deep learning tools and frameworks, or a software engineer curious about modern machine learning, this book has got you covered. The clear explanations and practical examples make complex concepts easy to grasp and apply. Highly recommended!

The book is an easy-read. It is quite resourceful for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of neural network models and its practical implementation using pytorch.The concepts are well-explained with examples. I like the way the book covered different type of data: images, text, sounds, etc. There are things for everyone.Other attraction is that it adapts to emerging concepts like diffusion models and integration with huggingface leveraging off-the-shelf pretrained models. Further, it provides practical guidance on deploying models to production, including on mobile devices.Overall, Mastering PyTorch is a must-have for a deep learning enthusiast who looks into recent learning techniques and its applications. Highly recommended!

I've been working with PyTorch for a while now, but I really feel like this book took my skills to the next level. The explanations are clear and concise, and the code examples really helped me to understand the concepts. I especially appreciated the coverage of advanced techniques like generative models and graph neural networks, but most of the content is also completely suitable for beginners. I appreciate that the author also focuses on the modern landscape, including how to transition from TensorFlow to PyTorch, coverage of LLMs, neural networks in mobile settings (eg quantized models), autoML, integration with Hugging Face and beyond. I've already used some of the techniques from the book in my own work, and I'm really excited to see what else I can accomplish with PyTorch. Overall, I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn more about PyTorch and deep learning.

Where can I send feedback about an Early Access title? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

If you have any feedback about the product you're reading, or Early Access in general, then please fill out a contact form here and we'll make sure the feedback gets to the right team. 

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.
