Workshop: (Deep) Learn Neural Networks with PyTorch

Location: Rutherford, 4th flr.

Duration: 9:00am - 4:00pm

Day of week: Friday

Level: Beginner

Key Takeaways

  • Build a neural network, learn PyTorch, use your GPU easily to compute faster.

Prerequisites

Attendees need to have the following things installed on their laptops:

  • Python 3.7 if you have an Nvidia GPU:
    Cuda https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads
    Cudnn https://developer.nvidia.com/cudnn
  • If you don't have this, we highly recommend the hosted solution. 

We will send out a detailed e-mail with instructions to run ‘pip install -r requirements.txt‘ to install PyTorch 2 weeks before the conference.

More talks on:

This workshop will teach you PyTorch and building neural networks with it. 
It will provide you with all the necessary knowledge to get started with crunching vast amounts of data and generating rules from them.
You will learn the following:
  • Build and train a Perceptron in numpy
  • Move the code to the GPU using PyTorch
  • Extend the neural network for more complex time-series forecasting
  • Introduction to NLP
  • TCN vs. RNN
This workshop aims at programmers comfortable with Python who want to expand their skills towards neural networks. It is recommended to be familiar with the basics of machine learning (but not mandatory). E.g. being familiar with train, validation, test splits and scaling would be perfect. 
It is not required that you have dealt with neural networks before.
You won’t need to setup your computer for this workshop either. 
We will take care of providing you an adequately setup cloud instance.
For those of you who prefer programming locally and having a computer with an NVIDIA GPU and Linux, instructions for preparing the computer will be sent out, too.
