About this resource

The Intro to Deep Learning with PyTorch workshop from Udacity will walk you through introductory deep learning concepts as well as how to build a neural networks in PyTorch. PyTorch is one of the most popular deep learning frameworks. Known for its speed and more “Pythonic” feel, it is frequently the go-to choice for most researchers. The biggest downside of PyTorch, compared to a high-level framework like Keras, is that it is quite verbose. That is, you’ll need to write a couple hundred lines of code to train and evaluate your neural network. Keras is a great alternative for those who are just getting started with neural networks or those that don’t need to train many models, as you can train/evaluate in just a dozen or so lines of code.

Prerequisites

Learners are expected to have the following knowledge:

  • Basic Python programming skills and familiarity with the Pandas package. If you need a refresher, these Introductory Python lesson materials are available for independent study.
