Learn the Basics

Authors: Suraj Subramanian, Seth Juarez, Cassie Breviu, Dmitry Soshnikov, Ari Bornstein

Most machine learning workflows involve working with data, creating models, optimizing model parameters, and saving the trained models. This tutorial introduces you to a complete ML workflow implemented in PyTorch, with links to learn more about each of these concepts.

We’ll use the FashionMNIST dataset to train a neural network that predicts if an input image belongs to one of the following classes: T-shirt/top, Trouser, Pullover, Dress, Coat, Sandal, Shirt, Sneaker, Bag, or Ankle boot.

This tutorial assumes a basic familiarity with Python and Deep Learning concepts.

Running the Tutorial Code

You can run this tutorial in a couple of ways:

  • In the cloud: This is the easiest way to get started! Each section has a Colab link at the top, which opens a notebook with the code in a fully-hosted environment. Pro tip: Use Colab with a GPU runtime to speed up operations Runtime > Change runtime type > GPU
  • Locally: This option requires you to setup PyTorch and TorchVision first on your local machine (installation instructions). Download the notebook or copy the code into your favorite IDE.

How to Use this Guide
