Deep Learning with PyTorch teaches you how to implement deep learning algorithms with Python and PyTorch. This course takes you into a fascinating case study: building an algorithm capable of detecting malignant lung tumors using CT scans. As the authors guide you through this real example, you’ll discover just how effective and fun PyTorch can be. After a quick introduction to the deep learning landscape, you’ll explore the use of pre-trained networks and start sharpening your skills on working with tensors. You’ll find out how to represent the most common types of data with tensors and how to build and train neural networks from scratch on practical examples, focusing on images and sequences. After covering the basics, the course will take you on a journey through larger projects. The centerpiece of the course is a neural network designed for cancer detection. You’ll discover ways for training networks with limited inputs and start processing data to get some results. You’ll sift through the unreliable initial results and focus on how to diagnose and fix the problems in your neural network. Finally, you’ll look at ways to improve your results by training with augmented data, make improvements to the model architecture, and perform other fine tuning!
