Workshop / Overview

⚠️ A valid COVID certificate must be presented on site to enter the event. ⚠️

This full-day workshop is designed for PyTorch beginners and will walk you through the basics of the PyTorch library.

We start in the morning by presenting the basic building blocks around the training loop. In the afternoon, we show you how to work with more advanced architecture such as CNNs, LSTM or Transfer Learning.

During the workshop, we will go through a series of Jupyter notebooks which also allows participants to directly experiment with the code.
