First steps towards Deep Learning with PyTorch

Initiative by - Vipul Vaibhaw

This is an open sourced book on deep learning. This book is supposed to be mathematically light and caters to the readers who have no experience with deep learning or a strong mathematics background. This book is meant to help readers take their "First Step" towards Deep Learning.

NOTE - I am still writing the book this is the first draft!

Contents

• Chapter - 1 Understanding Artificial Neural Networks
• Chapter - 2 Introduction to pyTorch
• Chapter - 3 How to make a computer see?
• Chapter - 4 How to make a computer remember stuff?
• Chapter - 5 Where to go from here?

How can you contribute?

• You can contribute by creating better image assests.
• You can add better explanations to the topics.
• You can add working google colab notebooks.
• You can add more pytorch examples for beginners.

Feel free to raise PR and contribute.

Create a script to generate pdf

Write a python script which can generate pdf from the master. If someone wants then they can read the book in pdf format.

What is a GPU? Why do we need one? Should a beginner buy a GPU?

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
A lot of people ask and are confused why GPUs are needed.

Describe the solution you'd like
A clear and concise description for the beginners explaining how to GPUs and other hardwares solve the problem and how it is different from CPU.

Note
Writing this piece is critical because we engineers are so accustomed in our world that we assume a lot of info and it becomes hard for someone new to understand things like CPU vs GPU. It will be a challenging piece explaining parallel processing and parallel+distributed heterogeneous computing to newbies.

Stylise the pdf and make it more appealing

Currently the pdf that is being generated doesn't have good styling. It would be great to make the book look appealing so that readers feel interested.

Would love to work on it if possible! :)

Add how to learn pytorch/tensorflow to chapter 5.

Finish Chapter 4
