ArtificialIntelligence (AI) continues to grow in popularity and disrupt a wide range of domains, but it is a complex and daunting topic. In this book, you'll get to grips with building deep learning apps, and how you can use PyTorch for research and solving real-world problems.
This book uses a recipe-based approach, starting with the basics of tensor manipulation, before covering ConvolutionalNeural Networks (CNNs) and Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) in PyTorch. Once you are well-versed with these basic networks, you'll build a medical image classifier using deep learning. Next, you'll use TensorBoard for visualizations. You'll also delve into GenerativeAdversarialNetworks (GANs) and DeepReinforcementLearning (DRL) before finally deploying your models to production at scale. You'll discover solutions to common problems faced in machine learning, deep learning, and reinforcement learning. You'll learn to implement AI tasks and tackle real-world problems in computer vision, naturallanguageprocessing (NLP
