1、Introduction to PyTorch, a Deep Learning Library
1.1、Importing PyTorch and related packages
import torch
# supports:
## image data with torchvision
## audio data with torchaudio
## text data with torchtext
1.2、Tensors: the building blocks of networks in PyTorch
1.2.1、Load from list
import torch
lst = [[1,2,3], [4,5,6]]
tensor = torch.tensor(lst)
1.2.2、Load from NumPy array
np_array = np.array(array)
np_tensor = torch.from_numpy(np_array)
1.3、Creating our first neural network
1.3.1、A basic, two-layer network with no hidden layers
import torch.nn as nn
# Create input_tensor with three features
input_tensor = torch.tensor([0.3471, 0.4547, -0.2356])
# Define our first linear layer
linear_layer = nn.Linear(in_features=3, out_features=2
# Pass input through linear layer
output = linear_layer(input_tensor)
# Show the output
print(output)
# Each linear layer has a .weight and .bias property
linear_layer.weight
linear_layer.bias
- Networks with only linear layers are called fully connected networks.
1.3.2、Stacking layers with nn.Sequential()
# Create network with three linear layers
model = nn.Sequential(
nn.Linear(10,18),
nn.Linear(18,20),
nn.Linear(20, 5),
)
1.4、Discovering activation functions
- Activation functions add non-linearity to the network.
- A model can learn more complex relationships with non-linearity.
- Two-class classification: Sigmoid function demo:
import torch
import torch.nn as nn
input_tensor = torch.tensor([[6.0]])
sigmoid = nn.Sigmoid()
output = sigmoid(input_tensor)
# tensor([[0.9975]])
- Application for Sigmoid function:
model = nn.Sequential(
nn.Linear(6,4),
nn.Linear(4,1),
nn.Sigmoid()
)
- Multi-class classification: Softmax demo:
import torch
import torch.nn as nn
input_tensor = torch.tensor([[4.3, 6.1, 2.3]])
# dim=-1 indicates softmax is applied to the input tensor's last dimension
# nn.Softmax() can be used as last step in nn.Sequential()
probabilities = nn.Softmax(dim=-1)
output_tensor = probabilities(input_tensor)
print(output_tensor)
# tensor([[0.1392, 0.8420, 0.0188]])
2、Training Our First Neural Network with PyTorch
2.1、Running a forward pass
2.1.1、Forward pass
- Input data is passed forward or propagated through a network.
- Coputations performed at each layer.
- Outputs of each layer passed to each subsequent layer.
- Output of final layer: "prediction".
- Used for both training and prediction.
- Some possible outputs:
2.1.2、Backward pass
2.1.3、Binary classification: forward pass
2.1.4、Multi-class classification: forward pass
2.1.5、Regression: forward pass
2.2、Using loss functions to assess model predictions
2.2.1、Why we need a loss function?
- Give feedback to model during training.
- Take in model prediction and ground truth .
- Output a float.
2.2.2、One-hot encoding concepts
import torch.nn.functional as F
F.one_hot(torch.tensor(0), num_classes = 3)
# tensor([1,0,0]) --- first class
F.one_hot(torch.tensor(1), num_classes = 3)
# tensor([0,1,0]) --- second class
F.one_hot(torch.tensor(2), num_classes = 3)
# tensor([0,0,1]) --- third class
2.2.3、Cross entropy loss in PyTorch
from torch.nn import CrossEntropyLoss
scores = tensor([[-0.1211, 0.1059]])
one_hot_target = tensor([[1, 0]])
criterion = CrossEntropyLoss()
criterion(scores.double(), one_hot_target.double())
# tensor(0.8131, dtype=torch.float64)
2.2.4、Bringing it all together
2.3、Using derivatives to update model parameters
2.3.1、Minimizing the loss
- High loss: model prediction is wrong
- Low loss: model prediction is correct
