PyTorch

Course Summary

The PyTorch training course is designed to demonstrate the basics of data science and machine learning.

The course begins with a review of the key mathematical concepts used by the hands-on data science and machine learning labs in this course. Next, it examines Jupyter Notebooks to implement low level PyTorch code for commonly used tensor operations such as stacking, slicing, reshaping, and squeezing. The course concludes with best practices and a case study for how to build a mature data science and machine learning practice on a project or at an organization.

Purpose
Learn how to implement statistical and machine learning models using PyTorch and how to improve their performance based on an understanding of underlying mathematical principles.
Audience
Students who have either taken an introduction to Machine Learning course or have equivalent knowledge/experience.
