Explore how convolutional layers use filters to generate feature maps, apply pooling, and learn low-level to high-level features with kernel, padding, stride, and activation.
Explore how pooling layers reduce feature map dimensions after convolution by applying max or average pooling to small blocks, preserving essential information while shrinking data.
Explore the mathematical view of training a neural network, from a fully connected model with weights and biases to a cost function guiding learning via gradient descent and backpropagation.

Explain training with batches in convolutional neural networks using PyTorch, comparing full-batch, stochastic, and mini-batch approaches. Show how batch size affects cost function, gradient, parameter updates, speed, stability, and convergence.
The file ".zip" contains the code we will be using to develop this project. I highly recommend you to write the code by yourself and if you have any problem, so use this code to check it!
Files:
1) "live code.py": The code we developed in the videos. This is in Python format.
2) "live code.ipynb": Same as 1, but in Jupyter Notebook format.
3) "cnn example.ipynb": Reference code that contains more comments than "live code". This is in Jupyter notebook format.

Learn to build a convolutional neural network in PyTorch by defining init, forward, and layers, including convolution, pooling, flattening, and a 10-class output.
Define the cost function and the optimizer for a CNN in PyTorch. Apply cross-entropy loss for multiclass classification and update convolutional, linear, and output layer parameters with backpropagation.
In this course, you are going to learn what is and how to implement a Convolutional Neural Network model. To do this, you will use the library Pytorch using Python programming language, a tool that allows you to easily build a neural network model.
In the first part of the course, you will learn the basic about the theory of Deep Learning and Convolutional Neural Networks and then we will go deeper in the mathematics behind these models so that you can understand how these models works, how they are trained and evaluated and with this knowledge, you can change stuff in order to improve your own models.
After the theoretical part, you will build a practical project in which you will build a convolutional neural network model to classify images into different classes (like classify a picture of a dog as a dog). To do this you will use Pytorch, a library that allows you to create and train a neural network model using Python. First, you will create the model using a specific convolutional architecture, and then you will train the model by applying all the concepts you learned in the theoretical part. After training, you will get metrics that will allow you to analyze and evaluate how good your model is. Based on the results, you will learn how to implement changes into your project so that you can learn how to explore different options in order to improve the model performance.
You don't need previous knowledge on Deep Learning, Convolutional Neural Networks or Pytorch, because you will learn the basics you need in order to build a deep learning project using this technology.
So, get started building convolutional deep learning projects with this very practical course.
