Higher-level PyTorch APIs: A short introduction to PyTorch Lightning

Deep Learning Modeling PyTorch PyTorch Lightningposted by ODSC Community March 7, 2022

In recent years, the PyTorch community developed several different libraries and APIs on top of PyTorch. PyTorch Lightning (Lightning for short) is one of them, and it makes training deep neural networks simpler by removing much of the boilerplate code. However, while Lightning’s focus lies in...

TensorFlow for Computer Vision – Transfer Learning Made Easy

Deep Learning Modeling TensorFlow Transfer Learningposted by Dario Radečić March 4, 2022

Writing neural network model architectures from scratch involves a lot of guesswork. How many layers? How many nodes per layer? What activation function to use? Regularization? You won’t run out of questions any time soon. Transfer learning takes a different approach. Instead of starting from scratch,... Read more

Guidelines for Choosing an Optimizer and Loss Functions When Training Neural Networks

Deep Learning Modeling Neural Networkposted by April Miller February 7, 2022

There’s no one right way to train a neural network. These models serve various functions with multiple data sets, so what produces a high-performing model in one instance may not in another. As a result, effective training relies on a series of tools and strategies. Two... Read more

The ODSC Warmup Guide to Keras

Deep Learning Downloadable Guide Modeling Kerasposted by ODSC Team February 1, 2022

Keras is a Python library for deep learning. Deep learning is a sub-branch of artificial intelligence that focuses on solving complex computations by emulating the working process of a human brain. Neural networks, computational graphs composed of nodes representing multiple operators for breaking down the tasks... Read more

Google AI Proposes Temporal Fusion Transformer for Multi-Horizon Time Series Forecasting

Deep Learning Modeling Time Seriesposted by April Miller January 24, 2022

Time series forecasting is a useful data science tool for helping people predict what will happen in the future based on historical, time-stamped information. Google researchers recently explained how they developed and used the company’s Temporal Fusion Transformer (TFT) to achieve more progress with these types... Read more

Facebook AI and University of Guelph Open-Sources GHN-2 for Fast Initiation of Deep Learning Models

Deep Learning Modeling Research GHN-2posted by April Miller January 13, 2022

Deep learning has massive potential, but it’s often hard to achieve. These models’ complexity requires extensive training before they’re ready for use, making implementation long and often expensive. Facebook AI Research (FAIR) and the University of Guelph may have found a potential solution. In a recent... Read more
