Building a Neural Network with PyTorch in 15 Minutes | Coding Challenge

What's happening guys, welcome to the third episode of CodeThat!
In this ep I try to build my first neural network in PyTorch...seriously the first time I even dug into their documentation was yesterday! Anyway you know the rules I have to get it done in 15 minutes, no doco or stack overflow and a gift card to you guys if I fail.
Will I make it in time???!

The amount of calculating a Terminator has to do just to work out if someones boots, clothes and motorcycle will do him is wild lol.

Imagine Skynet.

[@artid8896]

Nick, we appreciate your work so much. The way you offer your knowledge so graciously, you're helping so many people who are newbies in the field.

[@NicholasRenotte]

Knowledge is one of the few things you can give away and not lose, so why not share?! Thanks so much for checking it out @NeonCone!

[@sadra2637]

Good job man. I feel more and more in love with ML and DL as I watch your videos. Keep it up. 👊

[@NicholasRenotte]

YESSS, love that you're getting into it!

[@mansoorbaig9232]

Great explanation of all that is need in 15 min. Keep up the good work, your tutorials are a great help to DS community.

[@thealmighty9]

Wow this was so good! I can't believe you still take time to explain things throughout the challenge lol. I am loving this series, super fun :D

[@jinparksoul]

"I can't believe you still take time to explain things throughout the challenge". I can't literally can't believe it either. Drink a shot every time he typed a line with no explanation and you'll be dead half way through the video. There is no freaking way a beginner understands wtf just happened by the end.

[@thealmighty9]

@@jinparksoul This video isn't a tutorial for beginners though, it's a challenge he made for himself. If you want a tutorial look through his countless videos where he explains every little thing that even you can understand.

[@jinparksoul]

@@thealmighty9 Nonetheless its still true that most of the lines are written without any explanation regardless of who it is targeted towards in contradiction to what your comment "you still take time to explain things" implies. Although not really done here taking time to explain everything is typically something you would not need to do when you target experienced AI researchers and pytorch devs.

[@thealmighty9]

@@jinparksoul So there is only explain everything or nothing? Only beginners and experienced professionals? "Take time to explain things" is not saying "takes time to explain every little thing" I'm not sure what you're trying to get at here, I don't know if you're upset that he doesn't explain enough or upset that he explained anything at all.

[@gabrielj.9028]

Great job! Your videos have really helped me with project ideas and application examples. Looking forward to seeing more!

[@danny9642]

How long does this take to train on a CPU and how can I optimise the code for it to train faster when using CPU?

[@Connecttechaarushenglish-ox111]

It will triple the time that the gpu takes to train😅😅. You can just remove .to("cuda"). Now you understand it.

[@harshraithatha]

Hey Nick, I have sensitive data in my dataset. I need it to train my model. But also want to mask it. What to do?

[@NicholasRenotte]

I deal with this a lot at work, check with your privacy policies but the model itself won't contain the raw data just what the NN has learned.

[@nicky6917]

This is the longest 15 min ever in my life

[@dubble_g]

i have way more detailed images that are 128x128 and my NN is really bad at predicting, any tips what i should try to adjust besides the learnign rate?

[@georgebassemfouad]

Hi I have a question.. what is the difference between tensorflow and pytorch

[@NicholasRenotte]

Similar, just different implementations TF: from Google, PT: from Facebook

[@dadanny661]

Instead of printing the epoch loss, didn't you print the loss of the last batch of the epoch ?

[@fizipcfx]

Do you plan to make another streams.

[@NicholasRenotte]

OFC, normally aim for two a week. This week was a bit of an exception.

[@fizipcfx]

@@NicholasRenotte i got you, thanks for the reply

[@Michal2SAB]

Why sometimes in accuracy, loss or whatever, one of these.. weird letters are present? Like a big number 0.12202020202-e545. Is it a problem? I found that to be confusing when predicting cause then the model inaccuratly predicts for some reason. Or perhaps it's not a problem and I just can't do simply "if accuracy > 0.5" in that case and THAT's the issue

[@Connecttechaarushenglish-ox111]

No it is not a problem. Sometimes, when accuracy or loss or both are very small or big then it uses some words like 341e78

[@wesleybarreto9245]

Good job Nick! Huge W. I was wondering as to why the loss was increasing after every 4 epochs, is it because a new batch is fed in to the model?

[@NicholasRenotte]

Heya Wesley!! First one finally!! Probably getting to the point of overfitting but we're only printing out after every epoch not per batch. Loss bumps up in epoch 4 but still drops in epoch 8 (take a look at the power e-6 as opposed to e-5)

[@wesleybarreto9245]

@@NicholasRenotte Oh right. I completely missed the e-6 😂

[@chiscoduran9517]

Hi, there is something that always confused me when working with conv networks, when you set the input layers in the nn.Linear(), you set it as 64*(28-6)*(28-6), why is that? how to know how many inputs and outputs you have to have when combining conv nodes with linear nodes, thanks great video :)

[@NicholasRenotte]

Look under the shape section here: pytorch.org/docs/stable/generated/torch.nn.Conv2d.html , the formula for calculating the height and width of the output are shown there (see Hout and Wout)

[@NicholasRenotte]

If I adjusted kernel size, padding or stride then the output shape would’ve changed accordingly @Chisco!

[@nikitaandriievskyi3448]

If you have an image of let’s say 28*28 shape, and you pass it through a 3by3 filter with a stride of 1, and 0 padding, then ur output Shape would be: 28-3 + 1 by 28-3+1. The general formula for shapes after passing through a conv layer is ((input_shape +2*padding size - filter size) / stride) + 1 and then floor the results, so if it’s 3.5 you should round to the bottom, and you will have 3

[@NicholasRenotte]

What Nikita said is bang on!

[@alexzan1858]

does pytorch have better/faster training compared to tensorflow?

[@billal2731]

[@thiagosnelli138]

Hi mate, I'm using the CPU, what should I type on line 57?

[@thiagosnelli138]

Well, answering my own concern, for the CPU guys: line 58 change for: clf.load_state_dict(torch.load(f, map_location='cpu'))

[@sridhardornadula3913]

hello bro...how to install pytorch in windows 11 or any alternate apk

[@MrSanselvan]

Nice. The loss is increasing after the 3rd epoch. Is it good sign or bad ?

[@danielpaul8734]

It is not. Notice that the loss will be written in scientific notation after the 3rd epoch

Hi, Im confused about cross validation. I looked videos they just use cross_val_score. I want to train data using cross validation and predict test daha how can I do it with cross validation. I want train cross validation and apply other datas how can i do it

In VSCode, you select multiple lines and press Cmd + / (on Mac) to comment the lines out similar how to you do for a single line

[@adamblack2255]

IS it just me or is pytorch incredibly slow? Or am I misunderstanding the difference between this and a simple conv model with tensorflow/keras?

[@NicholasRenotte]

Hmmm, might need to do a comparison, tbh I've always used tf and never had performance issues. I didn't check how many samples were in the MNIST dataset for this though.
