PyTorch Conference 2024

Description: This proposal aims to provide a comprehensive introduction to the Chinese PyTorch community, we hope to inspire more users to join and contribute, fostering a vibrant and inclusive environment for PyTorch enthusiasts in China. Chinese PyTorch Homepage Introduction to the official Chinese version of the PyTorch website, highlighting its features. Navigation tips and key sections, such as documentation, tutorials, and community events. Improve the connection of users from China with PyTorch Community. Localized Tutorials and Documentation The 2.x version not have Translated version, it hard to catch up with latest features of PyTorch if the beginner not good at English. We translated official documents and tutorials, covering everything from basic PyTorch concepts to advanced applications. Interactive tutorials No interactive tutorials(Like Google Colab) for Chinese students or beginners before, they have to setup environment before start with PyTorch, which might be hard for beginners. And now, an online notebook & tutorials are available to practice or tuning steps for beginners.

The Hugging Face Hub has over 300,000 PyTorch models. Distributing such number of models poses challenges. In this talk, Omar will share how the community has tackled these challenges, including techniques to ensure torch model security and tooling for researchers to share their models. He'll also take attendees on a journey through the evolution of torch models distributed by the community, highlighting new trends and directions. Attending this talk will give attendees practical insights into the latest developments in model distribution and ecosystem trends.

At roboMUA we're leading the charge in building predictive AI models for diverse skin shades with the use of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), and harnessing the power of Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) specifically for generating realistic images of black hairstyles. Our session showcases PyTorch's versatility in both predictive and generative tasks, offering a comprehensive approach to inclusive AI. For predictive AI models, we leverage PyTorch's flexible framework to develop CNNs. Through innovative techniques in feature engineering and model architecture design, we demonstrate how PyTorch enables accurate prediction across 100 skin shades. Simultaneously, we showcase the transformative potential of GANs in the realm of black hairstyles. By training GANs on a curated dataset of diverse hair textures and styles, we illustrate how PyTorch facilitates the generation of lifelike images that celebrate the beauty and diversity of black hair. Attendees will gain insights into the data preprocessing, model training, and evaluation processes and and learn how PyTorch empowers developers to build inclusive solutions.

The alarming decline in global biodiversity, driven by various factors, underscores the urgent need for large-scale wildlife monitoring. To address these challenges, we introduce Pytorch Wildlife, an open-source deep learning platform built on PyTorch. It is designed for creating, modifying, and sharing powerful AI models. This platform emphasizes usability and accessibility, making it accessible to individuals with limited or no technical background. It also offers a modular codebase to simplify feature expansion and further development. Pytorch-Wildlife offers an intuitive, user-friendly interface, accessible through local installation or Hugging Face, for animal detection and classification in images and videos. As two real-world applications, Pytorch-Wildlife has been utilized to train animal classification models for species recognition in the Amazon Rainforest and for invasive opossum recognition in the Galapagos Islands. The Opossum model achieves 98% accuracy, and the Amazon model has 92% recognition accuracy for 36 animals in 90% of the data. As Pytorch-Wildlife evolves, we aim to integrate more conservation tasks, addressing various environmental challenges.

The integration of Intel GPU support into PyTorch marks a pivotal enhancement for PyTorch device and runtime. We generalized the PyTorch device and runtime to accommodate streaming devices. The generalization not only facilitates the deployment of PyTorch on ubiquitous hardware but also makes the integration of different HW backends easier. In addition, PyTorch with Intel GPU supports various Intel GPUs from the data center to the client. It enriches and democratizes PyTorch HW ecosystem. Particularly in AIPC scenarios where Intel's integrated and discrete GPUs are prevalent, Pytorch with Intel GPU can deliver promising performance and improved OOB experience in the AIPC domain that can extend PyTorch's applicability significantly.
