Want to learn how to accelerate fine-tuning models on your CPU using PyTorch? You are invited to virtually attend the University of Houston Hewlett Packard Enterprise Data Science Institute meeting on Thursday, March 30, 2023 at 1 PM CDT/2 PM EDT. Register on Eventbrite (free) and confirm your attendance through that platform, if you plan on attending.
Abstract
PyTorch delivers great CPU performance, and it can be further accelerated with the Intel® Extension for PyTorch*. In this tutorial, Ben Consolvo, AI Solutions Engineering Manager at Intel, will walk you through a real-world example of training an AI image segmentation model using PyTorch 1.13.1 (with ResNet34 architecture); the model will learn to identify roads and speed limits from satellite images, all on the newly released 4th Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processor (code-named Sapphire Rapids). You can find the code to this example on the Intel® Extension for PyTorch GitHub repository here.
