PyTorch Basics for Machine Learning
Beginner 15 hours English Course CertificateFREE
Our recommendation
The first half of IBM's PyTorch sequence on edX, covering the fundamentals — tensors, automatic differentiation, and building your first simple models. It is the on-ramp before the deep-learning course that follows. Hands-on and technical, best for people who can code Python and want to start with PyTorch properly.
