Hi, I’m wondering if there is any info on environment setup that we should be doing before the lesson? I was intending to run notebooks locally. I didn’t do part 1 of this course so it’s possible I’ve missed the instructions on this. Is there a requirements.txt for the course?
Generally folks have been running stuff on Kaggle, Colab, or Paperspace. For running locally, you’ll need PyTorch, fastai, and the HuggingFace libs installed all with CUDA working.
You might want to check out the docker containers by seeme.ai or paperspace. For Part 1 I used the paperspace container, but I see that the seeme.ai container is newer (pushed a month ago vs paperspace 3 months ago) and smaller than the paperspace container.
Hi Amir
I had a similar confusion. I believe you are all set if you are here and can posts messages into this section of course forum. Check ** About the Part 2 2022 course** for the details on how to get to the live stream.
One course content question: Will there be some time devoted to discussing performance optimizations?
It looks like various techniques have been used to reduce the required VRAM for training DreamBooth from 24 GB to under 8 GB! Techniques like these and e.g. gradient accumulation discussed in part one of the course could make the difference in running on consumer hardware.
If time permits would also be very interested in learning more about how to apply sequence models to video (or ct scan slices)… maybe going from resnet activations on individual images/frames to an lstm (or transformer) for overall sequence classification etc in a “graceful” way using fastai (if that’s the best way).
Why do we try to draw the noise rather than go straight to drawing the digit itself? My thought is that our end goal is to draw the digits in this case, but I’m not quite understanding why we try to draw the noise as our model output rather than just drawing the digit directly
I keep getting the below error while running the notebook on colab (free version) with GPU runtime. Any suggestion on how to resolve this?
