Practical Deep Learning for Coders

This project is set up for experimenting with and running notebooks from the fast.ai Practical Deep Learning for Coders course.

Setup

This project uses uv for fast and reliable Python package management.

Installation

  1. Install uv if you haven't already:

    curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

  2. Install project dependencies:

    uv sync

Dependencies

The project includes all necessary dependencies for the fast.ai course:

  • Jupyter Lab/Notebook - For running interactive notebooks
  • fastai - The main fast.ai library with PyTorch backend
  • matplotlib - For plotting and visualization
  • pandas, numpy, scikit-learn - Core data science libraries
  • torch, torchvision - PyTorch deep learning framework
  • duckduckgo_search - For image search in computer vision notebooks
  • pillow - Python Imaging Library for image processing
  • fastcore, fastdownload - Utilities for fastai

Running Notebooks

Start Jupyter Lab

uv run jupyter lab

This will start Jupyter Lab and open it in your browser. Navigate to the notebooks/ directory to access course notebooks.

Start Jupyter Notebook (alternative)

uv run jupyter notebook

Adding New Lessons

When you download new notebooks from the course:

  1. Create a new lesson directory:

    mkdir notebooks/lessonXX

  2. Download the notebook from Kaggle and place it in the lesson directory

  3. Update the notebooks README.md with the new lesson information

Development

  • Add new dependencies: uv add <package>
  • Remove dependencies: uv remove <package>
  • Update lock file: uv lock
  • Run Python scripts: uv run <script.py>
