Get Started with PyTorch – Learn How to Build Quick & Accurate Neural Networks (with 4 Case Studies!)

Introduction

PyTorch v TensorFlow – how many times have you seen this polarizing question pop up on social media? The rise of deep learning in recent times has been fuelled by the popularity of these frameworks. There are staunch supporters of both, but a clear winner has started to emerge in the last year.

PyTorch was one of the most popular frameworks in 2018. It quickly became the preferred go-to deep learning framework among researchers in both academia and the industry. After using PyTorch for the last few weeks, I can confirm that it is highly flexible and an easy-to-use deep learning library.

In this article, we will explore what PyTorch is all about. But our learning won’t stop with the theory – we will code through 4 different use cases and see how well PyTorch performs. Building deep learning models has never been this fun!
