Product Description
by Anand Trivedi (Author)
DESCRIPTION
PyTorch has become the go-to framework for building cutting-edge large language models (LLMs), enabling developers to harness the power of deep learning for natural language processing. This book serves as your practical guide to navigating the intricacies of PyTorch, empowering you to create your own LLMs from the ground up.
You will begin by mastering PyTorch fundamentals, including tensors, autograd, and model creation, before diving into core neural network concepts like gradients, loss functions, and backpropagation. Progressing through regression and image classification with convolutional neural networks, you will then explore advanced image processing through object detection and segmentation. The book seamlessly transitions into NLP, covering RNNs, LSTMs, and attention mechanisms, culminating in the construction of Transformer-based LLMs, including a practical mini-GPT project. You will also get a strong understanding of generative models like VAEs and GANs.
By the end of this book, you will possess the technical proficiency to build, train, and deploy sophisticated LLMs using PyTorch, equipping you to contribute to the rapidly evolving landscape of AI.
