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. This book is ideal for those looking to switch from TensorFlow to PyTorch. Working knowledge of deep learning with Python is required.

What you will learn

  • Implement text, vision, and music generation 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!

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.

What is custom duty/charge? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

  • If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
  • Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.
