The torch.nn module in PyTorch is a core library that provides a wide array of classes and
functions designed to help developers build neural networks efficiently and effectively. It
abstracts the complexity of creating and training neural networks by offering pre-built layers,
loss functions, activation functions, and other utilities, enabling you to focus on designing and
experimenting with model architectures.

Key Components of torch.nn:


1. Modules (Layers):

○ nn.Module: The base class for all neural network modules. Your custom models and
layers should subclass this class.

○ Common Layers: Includes layers like nn.Linear (fully connected layer), nn.Conv2d
(convolutional layer), nn.LSTM (recurrent layer), and many others.

2. Activation Functions:

○ Functions like nn.ReLU, nn.Sigmoid, and nn.Tanh introduce non-linearities to the


model, allowing it to learn complex patterns.

3. Loss Functions:

○ Provides loss functions such as nn.CrossEntropyLoss, nn.MSELoss, and nn.NLLLoss to


quantify the difference between the model's predictions and the actual targets.

4. Container Modules:

○ nn.Sequential: A sequential container to stack layers in order.

5. Regularization and Dropout:

○ Layers like nn.Dropout and nn.BatchNorm2d help prevent overfitting and improve
the model's ability to generalize to new data.

The torch.optim module
03 December 2024 19:16

torch.optim is a module in PyTorch that provides a variety of optimization


algorithms used to update the parameters of your model during training.

It includes common optimizers like Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD), Adam,


RMSprop, and more.

It handles weight updates efficiently, including additional features like learning


rate scheduling and weight decay (regularization).

The model.parameters() method in PyTorch retrieves an iterator over all the


trainable parameters (weights and biases) in a model. These parameters are
instances of torch.nn.Parameter and include:

• Weights: The weight matrices of layers like nn.Linear, nn.Conv2d, etc.

• Biases: The bias terms of layers (if they exist).

The optimizer uses these parameters to compute gradients and update them
during training.
