In part one, we learned about PyTorch and its component parts, now let's take a closer look and see what it can do. In this article, we explore some of PyTorch's capabilities by playing with pre-trained networks. Computer vision -- a field that deals with making computers to gain high-level understanding from digital images or videos -- is certainly one of the fields most impacted by the advent of deep learning, for a variety of reasons. The need for classifying or interpreting the content of natural images was there, huge datasets became available and new constructs, such as convolutional layers, came about and started to run quickly on GPUs with unprecedented accuracies.
