As the name implies, machine learning is a form of AI whereby a computer algorithm analyses and stores data over time, then uses this data to make decisions and predict future outcomes. Deep learning is the next evolution of this: instead of requiring human'supervision', algorithms can autonomously use'neural networks' analogous to the human brain. Put simply, lines of computer code can now, to some extent, be programmed to learn for themselves, then use those learnings to perform complex operations on a scale that far surpasses human abilities. Considered the single biggest advancement in software development over the past few years, this technology is possible thanks to revolutionary advancements in computing power and data storage, and is now an integral part of day-to-day life, like how Siri or Alexa intelligently store data to predict future actions. Ever wondered why Facebook's'People You May Know' and those pesky suggested ads on social media are always so accurate?

Following the success of previous deep learning tutorials like "Building RNNs is Fun with PyTorch and Google Colab" and "A Simple Neural Network from Scratch with PyTorch and Google Colab", I am excited to introduce a new series of tutorials on all things PyTorch and deep learning. In this first code tutorial, we will learn how to quickly train a deep learning model to understand some of PyTorch's basic building blocks. This notebook is inspired by the "Tensorflow 2.0 Quickstart for experts" notebook. After completion of this tutorial, you should be able to import data, transform it, and efficiently feed the data in batches to a convolution neural network (CNN) model for image classification. A new feature in these new tutorials is the introduction of exercises.

With the rise and popularity of deep learning algorithms, there has been impressive progress in the field of Artificial Intelligence, especially in Computer Vision. The second decade of the 21st century has seen rapid adoption of Convolutional Neural Networks, invention of state-of-the-art algorithms, availability of massive training data and the invention of high performance and cost effective compute. One of the key concepts in Computer Vision is image classification; which is the ability of a software system to label correctly the dominant object in an image. Systems powered by current state-of-the-art algorithms have surpassed human capabilities in identifying objects in images, and this technology is being widely used by technology giants, large businesses and governments for purposes such as intelligent applications, websites, weather, research, surveillance and more. However, the technology, just like the early days of computing and the world wide web is beyond the reach of prospective developers, programmers, small scale businesses and individuals that will largely benefit from it.

Machine learning is a set of techniques that allow machines to learn from data and experience, rather than requiring humans to specify the desired behavior by hand. Over the past two decades, machine learning techniques have become increasingly central both in AI as an academic field, and in the technology industry. This course provides a broad introduction to some of the most commonly used ML algorithms. It also serves to introduce key algorithmic principles which will serve as a foundation for more advanced courses, such as CSC412/2506 (Probabilistic Learning and Reasoning) and CSC421/2516 (Neural Networks and Deep Learning).

Forecasting the performance of a deep neural network is a nightmare for every data scientist. Every month, dozens of new deep learning research algorithms are published making incredible claims about their performance. However, applying those algorithms to real world problems requires a leap of faith that the model can achieve similar levels of performance with unseen datasets. Not surprisingly, many of the research algorithms that performed incredibly well for specific datasets miserably fail when apply to different domains as a clear manifestation of the famous "No Free Lunch Theorem". Very recently, researchers from IBM's artificial intelligence(AI) lab in Zurich published a new paper proposing a method that uses neural networks to predict the performance of a new model prior to training.

Last Thursday two lowly masters grad students, Aaron Gokaslan and Vanya Cohen managed to replicate the secretive OpenAI model and cheekily named their version OpenGPT-2. The code can be downloaded from this Google Colab page and apparently no prior experience in language modeling is required to use it. More useful might be the skills required to persuade Google to part with $50,000 worth of free cloud compute time for the training! Research firm OpenAI released a new, ever more powerful, version of their GPT language model with 1.5 billion parameters, trained on a data-set of 8 million web pages and although it's most entertaining use is to produce gibberish, it will inevitably also be able to produce coherent text sometime very soon. For us mere mortals, there's a cut down version of the model hosted in the cloud and a webpage that we can visit, type in a short phrase to prompt the system, and print out a few paragraphs of fake news.

PyTorch is an open-source machine learning framework that is used for the creation and training of deep learning models. These can then be applied in a variety of use cases, mostly concerned with the fields of computer vision, natural language processing, and the like. Microsoft announced full support for PyTorch on Azure last year; some of the tech giant's developers take an active part in the training framework's community, and PyTorch is offered through plenty of the Redmond giant's AI platform services. Now, a few weeks after the release of PyTorch 1.2, Microsoft has highlighted some ways in which it can be utilized on Azure, while also reaffirming its continued support for the Torch-based library. Although primarily written in Python, PyTorch also has a C frontend.
