Requires a Python environment with PyTorch and Jupyter installed, a GPU speeds up training examples but most notebooks run on CPU.

In plain English

This repository is a PyTorch adaptation of the well-known open-source deep learning textbook "Dive into Deep Learning." The original book used MXNet as its coding framework, this project rewrites all of the code examples in PyTorch, a more widely used deep learning library. Topics covered include computer vision and natural language processing, based on the textbook's curriculum. The content is presented as Jupyter Notebooks, interactive documents that mix explanations with runnable code. You would use this if you are learning deep learning and prefer PyTorch over MXNet, or if you want a Chinese-language resource with practical code examples alongside the theoretical concepts.
