Building a binary classifier in PyTorch

Recall that a small neural network with a single linear layer followed by a sigmoid function is a binary classifier. It acts just like a logistic regression.

Practice building this small network and interpreting the output of the classifier.

Self-driving cars, smartphones, search engines... Deep learning is now everywhere. Before you begin building complex models, you will become familiar with PyTorch, a deep learning framework. You will learn how to manipulate tensors, create PyTorch data structures, and build your first neural network in PyTorch with linear layers.

Exercise 1: Introduction to deep learning with PyTorch Exercise 2: Getting started with PyTorch tensors Exercise 3: Checking and adding tensors Exercise 4: Neural networks and layers Exercise 5: Linear layer network Exercise 6: Understanding weights Exercise 7: Hidden layers and parameters Exercise 8: Your first neural network Exercise 9: Stacking linear layers Exercise 10: Counting the number of parameters

To train a neural network in PyTorch, you will first need to understand additional components, such as activation and loss functions. You will then realize that training a network requires minimizing that loss function, which is done by calculating gradients. You will learn how to use these gradients to update your model's parameters.

Now that you've learned the key components of a neural network, you'll train one using a training loop. You'll explore potential issues like vanishing gradients and learn strategies to address them, such as alternative activation functions and tuning learning rate and momentum.

Training a deep learning model is an art, and to make sure our model is trained correctly, we need to keep track of certain metrics during training, such as the loss or the accuracy. We will learn how to calculate such metrics and how to reduce overfitting.
