A Beginner-Friendly PyTorch Tutorial: Build and Train Your First Model

Daniel Voigt Godoy's blog post provides a beginner-friendly tutorial on using PyTorch, a rapidly growing deep learning framework known for its compatibility with Python. The post aims to fill the gap in structured, incremental learning resources for PyTorch by offering a detailed step-by-step guide to building and training a simple linear regression model. It covers essential concepts such as PyTorch's dynamic computation graph, autograd for automatic differentiation, and the use of optimizers and loss functions. The tutorial also emphasizes best practices, like using datasets and data loaders for efficient data handling, and demonstrates how to transition from Numpy implementations to PyTorch for deep learning tasks. Additionally, the post illustrates the importance of understanding PyTorch's model components and the need for proper evaluation techniques during model training, providing a comprehensive introduction to PyTorch's capabilities for new users.
