PyTorch is an open-source machine learning framework for Python, based on Torch (a deprecated machine learning library, scientific computing framework, and scripting language). It has a wide variety of applications, including natural language processing, object detection and classification, social media algorithms, photorealistic video-to-video translation, and recommender systems, such as on Netflix. PyTorch was primarily developed by Facebook.
On 2nd April, 2019, Facebook open sourced its PyTorch-BigGraph (PBG) tool that makes it much faster and easier to produce graph embeddings for extremely large graphs.
