    Course covers PyTorch fundamentals for building neural networks.

  • 2

    Prerequisite is basic Python; deep learning concepts are not explained.

Proficiency in Python programming, particularly Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) concepts such as classes, methods, and inheritance.
Familiarity with NumPy, as PyTorch tensors share many conceptual and syntactical similarities with NumPy multi-dimensional arrays.
Fundamental understanding of linear algebra (matrix multiplication, vector operations) and basic calculus (derivatives and the chain rule for backpropagation).
Basic theoretical knowledge of machine learning concepts, such as supervised learning, loss functions, and gradient descent.
Implementing specialized deep learning architectures, such as Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) for computer vision or Transformers for Natural Language Processing (NLP).
Learning Transfer Learning techniques to fine-tune pre-trained models using libraries like Torchvision or Hugging Face.
Mastering advanced data pipeline techniques in PyTorch, including creating custom Dataset and DataLoader classes for non-standard data formats.
Scaling and deploying models using PyTorch Lightning for cleaner code structure, and TorchScript or ONNX for production deployment.
