Prologue

The introduction to PyTorch Cookbook prepares readers for an exciting journey into the fascinating realms of deep learning and neural networks, with PyTorch as a foundation. Presenting itself as more than just a book, it leads its readers by the hand and shows them the ropes as they navigate the challenging terrain of machine learning and AI.

The current era is defined by the exponential development of both information and technology. The ever-increasing capabilities of deep learning and artificial intelligence are changing entire markets and expanding the boundaries of possibility. PyTorch is the shining star at the epicentre of this technological renaissance, luring professionals and amateurs alike. However, the abundance of information can be overwhelming, and the road to mastery may seem paved with obstacles, just as it would be in any dynamic field. The goal of the PyTorch Cookbook is to make the art and science of deep learning accessible by explaining its complexities and making them easier to understand.

This book is more than just a collection of algorithms and codes; it is also a thoughtful assemblage of useful advice and examples. Its goal is to give readers a firm grasp of the fundamentals of PyTorch and the confidence to apply what they've learned in practical situations. Beginning with tensors and computational graphs, this book introduces the fundamental building blocks of PyTorch and sets the stage for the challenges that lie ahead. From simple feedforward networks to more advanced Convolutional Neural Networks, Recurrent Neural Networks, and Graph Neural Networks, this book covers them all. The inclusion of relevant real-world examples and applications alongside theoretical concepts improves the learning experience and makes the material more memorable.

However, the PyTorch Cookbook is not just for one person to study from. It takes into account the rising demand for remote education and scalability, getting readers ready for group efforts and widespread rollouts. To foretell the future of AI in mobile devices, it explores cutting-edge fields like mobile and embedded development. The chapters are structured around troubleshooting and error handling to better prepare readers for potential project roadblocks.

The wider PyTorch ecosystem is one of the book's distinguishing features. Readers will learn about and see examples of using ONNX Runtime, PySyft, Pyro, Deep Graph Library (DGL), Fastai, and Ignite, among other tools and libraries. The book emphasises the need to keep up with technological developments, and these chapters do just that by showcasing the boundless opportunities that lie ahead.
