ComputerVision with PyTorch Learning Program

Computer Vision using PyTorch Learning Program by TinkerHub Foundation. PyTorch is an open source deep learning framework created by Facebook AI research. This learning program will cover the following,

• Computer vision.
• Pytorch framework.
• Torchvision library.
• Image classification and object detection.
• Transfer learning.

We will be extensively using the PyTorch docs for conducting this program.

Participants criteria

• Should know object oriented programming and python.
• Should know Git and GitHub.
• Should know what is machine learning and some basics(different categories of ML, what is training ? What is testing ? What is dataset..etc)

All the resources to get you started with the program is given in the resources folder. You can learn it and finish the task for joining the program!

Join the program

This learning program need you to have knowledge in following areas,

1. Python
2. GitHub
3. Basics of Machine Learning

We have a coding task for selction process. You could check out the task and how to submit task here. Watch the following video for reference.

Selection process

• once the task is completed, You could fill this google form

• we will update the selction status latest by 5th June.

• Program starts on 6th June.

General Program Structure
