Basics

Here my notes on my processes of learning Pytorch from Pytorch official tutorials.

Ok, this page says I will become a ninja ML killer developer. 🥷

It will teach the whole ML Workflow development:

• Working with data
• Creating models
• Optimizing model parameters
• Saving and deploying trained models

We will use FashionMNIST data set becase we like clothes and we are cool 👕

Pre-reqs

We first need to create an isolated python environment, conda can help here:

source /opt/miniconda3/etc/profile.d/conda.sh
conda create -n dev python=3.8
conda activate dev

Some required toolz:

conda install ipython
#conda install pytorch torchvision torchaudio cudatoolkit=xx.x -c pytorch # Optional

We can confirm we are inside our “virtual python box”:

(dev) ~z➤ whereis pip
pip: /usr/bin/pip /opt/anaconda/bin/pip /opt/miniconda3/bin/pip /home/n0kt/.conda/envs/dev/bin/pip /home/n0kt/.local/bin/pip /usr/share/man/man1/pip.1.gz
(dev) ~z➤ which pip
/home/n0kt/.conda/envs/dev/bin/pip

Now we proceed to install required libs by pytorch: pip3 install torch torchvision torchaudio --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu118
