Who this book is for

This book is for anyone who wants a straightforward, practical introduction to deep learning using PyTorch. The aim is to give you an understanding of deep learning models by direct experimentation. This book is perfect for those who are familiar with Python, know some machine learning basics, and are looking for a way to productively develop their skills. The book will focus on the most important features and give practical examples. It assumes you have a working knowledge of Python and are familiar with the relevant mathematical ideas, including with linear algebra and differential calculus. The book provides enough theory to get you up and running without requiring rigorous mathematical understanding. By the end of the book, you will have a practical knowledge of deep learning systems and able to apply PyTorch models to solve the problems that you care about.
