Deep Learning with PyTorch, Second Edition is a hands-on guide to modern machine learning with PyTorch. You’ll discover how easy PyTorch makes it to build your entire DL pipeline, including using the PyTorch Tensor API, loading data in Python, monitoring training, and visualizing results. Each new technique you learn is put into action to build a full-size medical image classifier chapter-by-chapter.

In this modernized second edition, you’ll find new coverage of how to develop and train groundbreaking generative AI models. You’ll learn about the foundational building blocks of transformers to create large language models and generate exciting images by building your own diffusion model. Plus, you'll discover ways to improve your results by training with augmented data, make improvements to the model architecture, and perform fine tuning.
