This is the perfect starting point if you're new to deep learning and PyTorch. I go line-by-line through every step, explaining data preparation, normalization, model architecture, training loops, and making predictions. We start by generating synthetic data and transforming it into tensors, then build a custom LinearRegressionModel class using nn.Module. You'll learn about forward passes, loss functions (MSE), optimizers (SGD), and the backward pass with gradient descent. I also cover essential PyTorch concepts like tensor shapes, data normalization, and denormalization for real predictions. By the end of this video, you'll understand how to create a complete PyTorch training loop, evaluate your model, and visualize results using matplotlib. This is the first video in my new PyTorch series, so subscribe to follow along as we build more complex deep learning models together. If you're transitioning from data analysis to data science or machine learning, this tutorial series is designed specifically for you.
