PyTorch image classifier walkthrough

This notebook serves as an extension to the PyTorch tutorial that will get you started with basic image classification. It is based on the following tutorial (https://pytorch.org/tutorials/beginner/blitz/cifar10_tutorial.html#) and includes modifications that you will need to get the tutorial working.

import torch

To use torchvision to your notebook, you'll need to first go back to your terminal and run the command 'conda install torchvision'. Once the installation is finished, run the below codeblock to import it.

import torchvision
import torchvision.transforms as transforms
transform = transforms.Compose(
    [transforms.ToTensor(),
     transforms.Normalize((0.5, 0.5, 0.5), (0.5, 0.5, 0.5))])

batch_size = 4

trainset = torchvision.datasets.CIFAR10(root='./data', train=True,
                                        download=True, transform=transform)
trainloader = torch.utils.data.DataLoader(trainset, batch_size=batch_size,
                                          shuffle=True, num_workers=2)

testset = torchvision.datasets.CIFAR10(root='./data', train=False,
                                       download=True, transform=transform)
testloader = torch.utils.data.DataLoader(testset, batch_size=batch_size,
                                         shuffle=False, num_workers=2)

classes = ('plane', 'car', 'bird', 'cat',
           'deer', 'dog', 'frog', 'horse', 'ship', 'truck')

Please be aware that excessive worker creation might get DataLoader running slow or even freeze, lower the worker number to avoid potential slowness/freeze if necessary.

To use matplotlib, you'll need to first go back to your terminal and run the command 'conda install matplotlib'. You'll then be able to use the plot function for the below training and classification.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

# functions to show an image


def imshow(img):
    img = img / 2 + 0.5     # unnormalize
    npimg = img.numpy()
    plt.imshow(np.transpose(npimg, (1, 2, 0)))
    plt.show()


# get some random training images
dataiter = iter(trainloader)
images, labels = next(dataiter)

# show images
imshow(torchvision.utils.make_grid(images))
# print labels
print(' '.join(f'{classes[labels[j]]:5s}' for j in range(batch_size)))
