Training models from scratch in Pytorch by Harry Wu
How exactly are machine learning models trained, and how do they work? While there's a lot of excitement around recent advances in AI, fewer are familiar with the underlying tools for building models. In recent years, the ML ecosystem has converged around Pytorch due to its powerful abstractions and ecosystem. In this talk, we'll be peering into the black box of neural networks by training a simple language model in real-time from scratch.
Harry Wu is a final-year mathematics and computer science student at ANU and has been an academic tutor for 4 courses, including Introduction to Machine Learning. He's worked in various positions at a trading firm, the Australian Government, and in tech, but is most interested in AI Safety and mitigating the risks of advanced AI systems to humankind.
