To get the most out of this book

You will need a version of Python installed on your computer. All code examples have been tested using version 3.7. You will also need a working PyTorch environment for the deep learning components of this book. All deep learning models were constructed using version 1.4; however, the majority of the code should work with later versions.

There are several Python libraries used within the code throughout this book; however, these will be covered in the relevant chapters.

If you are using the digital version of this book, we advise you to type the code yourself or access the code via the GitHub repository (link available in the next section). Doing so will help you avoid any potential errors related to the copying and pasting of code.
