Welcome

Thank you for purchasing the MEAP for Deep Learning with PyTorch, Second Edition.

The book is written for developers, students, or even hobbyists who have some prior experience with the Python programming language and want to gain a better understanding of deep learning. There is no better time to learn about deep learning than now as artificial intelligence gains an ever-growing significance in shaping our products and the world around us.

Throughout this book we will cover essential deep learning concepts that every practitioner should know. In parallel, we will navigate through the features of PyTorch, an open source deep learning framework, leveraging it as our primary tool in developing sophisticated deep learning models. As the industry standard, PyTorch has become an essential tool to any deep learning developer’s tool belt. Delving into PyTorch allows us to achieve two objectives at once – not only do we equip ourselves with the means to build cutting-edge models, but we also gain a deeper understanding of the intricacies behind deep learning principles.
