Deep Learning with PyTorch for Fun and Profit

There are all these great blog posts about Deep Learning describing all that awesome stuff. - Is it all that easy? Let’s check!

We’ll look into: style transfer (making a picture look like painting), speech generation (like Siri or Alexa) and text generation (writing a story). In this talk I’ll describe the whole journey: A fun ride from the idea to the very end including all the struggles, failures and successes.

Steps, we’ll cover:

• The data challenge: get the data ready

• Have it run on your Mac with PyTorch and an eGPU

• Creating a character-level language models with an Recurrent Neural Network

• Creating a text generator

• Creating artwork
