Overview of this book

fastai is an easy-to-use deep learning framework built on top of PyTorch that lets you rapidly create complete deep learning solutions with as few as 10 lines of code. Both predominant low-level deep learning frameworks, TensorFlow and PyTorch, require a lot of code, even for straightforward applications. In contrast, fastai handles the messy details for you and lets you focus on applying deep learning to actually solve problems. The book begins by summarizing the value of fastai and showing you how to create a simple 'hello world' deep learning application with fastai. You'll then learn how to use fastai for all four application areas that the framework explicitly supports: tabular data, text data (NLP), recommender systems, and vision data. As you advance, you'll work through a series of practical examples that illustrate how to create real-world applications of each type. Next, you'll learn how to deploy fastai models, including creating a simple web application that predicts what object is depicted in an image. The book wraps up with an overview of the advanced features of fastai. By the end of this fastai book, you'll be able to create your own deep learning applications using fastai. You'll also have learned how to use fastai to prepare raw datasets, explore datasets, train deep learning models, and deploy trained models.

Training a classification model with a simple curated vision dataset

You may recall the first fastai model that you trained back in Chapter 1, Getting Started with fastai. That model was trained on the MNIST dataset of hand-written digits. Given an image of a hand-written digit, that model was able to classify the image, that is, determine which of the digits from 0 to 9 were shown in the image.

In this recipe, you are going to apply the same approach you saw in the MNIST model to another fastai curated dataset: the CIFAR dataset. This dataset, which is a subset of a larger curated CIFAR_100 dataset, is made up of 6,000 images organized into 10 categories. The model that you train in this section will be able to determine the category that an image from this dataset belongs to.

Getting ready

Confirm that you can open the training_with_curated_image_datasets.ipynb notebook in the ch6 directory of your repo.

Note

The images in the CIFAR dataset are quite small. In this...
