Get SH*T Done with PyTorch

Solve Real-World Machine Learning Problems

About the Book

PyTorch is the best Deep Learning library there (currently) is, period! Doing ML with PyTorch feels like a superpower (of course, there are bad parts, too). Trust me, I have a book on TensorFlow and Keras! This opinion comes from my real-world experience, as a Machine Learning Engineer, and writer of numerous Machine Learning and Deep Learning tutorials.

This book skips the bull and goes straight into solving real-world problems. There is some theory, only where you need to connect the dots. You'll go from the basics of using PyTorch to solving Computer Vision, Natural Language, and Time Series problems with complete source code and runnable Jupyter notebooks. Explore the complete journey - from prototyping to deploying state-of-the-art models to production.

The examples are compatible with the latest versions of PyTorch and Torchvision.

Here’s what you’ll learn from this book:

  • Getting Started with PyTorch
  • Build Your First Neural Network with PyTorch
  • Transfer Learning for Image Classification using Torchvision
  • Time Series Forecasting with LSTMs for Daily Coronavirus Cases
  • Time Series Anomaly Detection using LSTM Autoencoders
  • Face Detection on Custom Dataset with Detectron2
  • Create Dataset for Sentiment Analysis by Scraping Google Play App Reviews
  • Sentiment Analysis with BERT and Transformers by Hugging Face
  • Deploy BERT for Sentiment Analysis as REST API using FastAPI

About the Author

Venelin Valkov
Venelin Valkov

Hello there!

I'm excited to welcome you to the wonderful world of Machine Learning! My name is Venelin and I'm thrilled to be your guide on this journey.

With over 5 years of experience in Machine Learning and 10+ years in Software Development, I have worked on several exciting projects, ranging from sentiment analysis, price prediction, and document text extraction to training Object Detection algorithms. Currently, my focus is on Large Language Models such as ChatGPT, which has been a fascinating area of exploration for me.

I look forward to sharing my knowledge and experience with you and helping you discover the limitless possibilities that Machine Learning offers. Let's embark on this adventure together!

The Leanpub 60 Day 100% Happiness Guarantee

Within 60 days of purchase you can get a 100% refund on any Leanpub purchase, in two clicks.

Now, this is technically risky for us, since you'll have the book or course files either way. But we're so confident in our products and services, and in our authors and readers, that we're happy to offer a full money back guarantee for everything we sell.

You can only find out how good something is by trying it, and because of our 100% money back guarantee there's literally no risk to do so!

So, there's no reason not to click the Add to Cart button, is there?
