PyTorch Fundamentals: Building Custom Modules and Convolutional Layers
The nn.Module Base Class
All neural network components in PyTorch are built upon the torch.nn.Module base class. To create a custom model, you must define a class that inherits from nn.Module and implement the forward method, which dictates how input data is transformed into output.
Implementing a Convolutional Network
The following example de ...
