Build your own Neural Network for CIFAR-10 using PyTorch

Neural network seems like a black box to many of us. What happens inside it, how does it happen, how to build your own neural network to classify the images in datasets like MNIST, CIFAR-10 etc. are the questions that keep popping up. Let's try to understand a Neural Network in brief and jump towards building it for CIFAR-10 dataset. Neural networks(NN) are inspired by the human brain. A neuron in a human brain, individually is at rest until it collects signals from others through a structure called dendrites, when the excitation that it receives is sufficiently high, the neuron is fired up(gets activated) and it passes on the information.
