Running The Notebooks

You can view the tutorials online or download and run locally.

Running Online

Service	Usage
Jupyter Nbviewer	Render and view the notebooks (can not edit)
Binder	Render, view and edit the notebooks (limited time)
Google Colab	Render, view, edit and save the notebooks to Google Drive (limited time)

Jupyter Nbviewer:

Press on the "Open in Colab" button below to use Google Colab:

Or press on the "launch binder" button below to launch in Binder:

Note: creating the Binder instance takes about ~5-10 minutes, so be patient

Running Locally

Press "Download ZIP" under the green button Clone or download or use git to clone the repository using the following command: git clone https://github.com/taldatech/ee046211-deep-learning.git (in cmd/PowerShell in Windows or in the Terminal in Linux/Mac)

Open the folder in Jupyter Notebook (it is recommended to use Anaconda). Installation instructions can be found in Setting Up The Working Environment.pdf.

Installation Instructions

For the complete guide, with step-by-step images, please consult Setting Up The Working Environment.pdf

1. Get Anaconda with Python 3, follow the instructions according to your OS (Windows/Mac/Linux) at: https://www.anaconda.com/download
2. Install the basic packages using the provided environment.yml file by running: conda env create -f environment.yml which will create a new conda environment named deep_learn. If you did this, you will only need to install PyTorch, see the table below.
3. Alternatively, you can create a new environment for the course and install packages from scratch: In Windows open Anaconda Prompt from the start menu, in Mac/Linux open the terminal and run conda create --name deep_learn. Full guide at https://docs.conda.io/projects/conda/en/latest/user-guide/tasks/manage-environments.html#creating-an-environment-with-commands
4. To activate the environment, open the terminal (or Anaconda Prompt in Windows) and run conda activate deep_learn
5. Install the required libraries according to the table below (to search for a specific library and the corresponding command you can also look at https://anaconda.org/)

Libraries to Install

Library	Command to Run
Jupyter Notebook	conda install -c conda-forge notebook
numpy	conda install -c conda-forge numpy
matplotlib	conda install -c conda-forge matplotlib
pandas	conda install -c conda-forge pandas
scipy	conda install -c anaconda scipy
scikit-learn	conda install -c conda-forge scikit-learn
seaborn	conda install -c conda-forge seaborn
tqdm	conda install -c conda-forge tqdm
opencv	conda install -c conda-forge opencv
optuna	pip install optuna
pytorch (cpu)	conda install pytorch torchvision torchaudio cpuonly -c pytorch (get command from PyTorch.org)
pytorch (gpu)	conda install pytorch torchvision torchaudio pytorch-cuda=11.8 -c pytorch -c nvidia (get command from PyTorch.org)
torchtext	conda install -c pytorch torchtext
torchdata	conda install -c pytorch torchdata + pip install portalocker

5. To open the notebooks, open Ananconda Navigator or run jupyter notebook in the terminal (or Anaconda Prompt in Windows) while the deep_learn environment is activated.
