Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) - PyTorch Beginner 14

In this part we will implement our first convolutional neural network (CNN) that can do image classification based on the famous CIFAR-10 dataset.


Learn all the basics you need to get started with this deep learning framework! In this part we will implement our first convolutional neural network (CNN) that can do image classification based on the famous CIFAR-10 dataset.

We will learn: - Architecture of CNNs - Convolutional Filter - Max Pooling - Determine the correct layer size - Implement the CNN architecture in PyTorch

All code from this course can be found on GitHub.

CNN in PyTorch

Note: The CNN architecture in this tutorial is taken from the famous LeNet-5 architecture. You can read more about this here
