PyTorch is one of the top 10 highest paid skills in tech (Indeed). As the use of PyTorch for neural networks rockets, professionals with PyTorch skills are in high demand. This course is ideal for AI engineers looking to gain job-ready skills in PyTorch that will catch the eye of an employer.
AI developers use PyTorch to design, train, and optimize neural networks to enable computers to perform tasks such as image recognition, natural language processing, and predictive analytics. During this course, you’ll learn about 2-D Tensors and derivatives in PyTorch. You’ll look at linear regression prediction and training and calculate loss using PyTorch. You’ll explore batch processing techniques for efficient model training, model parameters, calculating cost, and performing gradient descent in PyTorch. Plus, you’ll look at linear classifiers and logistic regression. Throughout, you’ll apply your new skills in hands-on labs, and at the end, you’ll complete a project you can talk about in interviews. If you’re an aspiring AI engineer with basic knowledge of Python and mathematical concepts, who wants to get hands-on with PyTorch, enroll today and get set to power your AI career forward!
This module provides an overview of tensors and datasets. It will cover the appropriate methods to classify the type of data in a tensor and the type of tensor. You will learn the basics of 1D and 2-D tensors and the Numel method. Then you will learn to differentiate simple and partial derivatives. The module lists the different attributes that PyTorch uses in order to calculate a derivative. You will build a simple dataset class and object and a dataset for images. You will apply your learnings in labs and test your concepts in quizzes.

Access to lectures and assignments depends on your type of enrollment. If you take a course in audit mode, you will be able to see most course materials for free. To access graded assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience, during or after your audit. If you don't see the audit option:
The course may not offer an audit option. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid.
The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Certificate, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile. If you only want to read and view the course content, you can audit the course for free.
