2 Your first program in JAX

This chapter covers

The high-level structure of a JAX deep learning project
Loading a dataset
Creating a simple neural network in JAX
Using JAX transformations for auto-vectorization, calculating gradients, and just-in-time compilation
Saving and loading a model
Pure and impure functions

JAX is a library for composable transformations of Python and NumPy programs. Though it is not limited to deep learning research, it is often considered a deep learning framework, sometimes the third after PyTorch and TensorFlow. Therefore, many people start by learning JAX for deep learning applications.

In this chapter, we’ll do a deep learning Hello World exercise. We will build a simple neural network application demonstrating ...

Julian F.

Head of Cybersecurity

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.

Addison B.

Field Engineer

I’ve been on the O’Reilly platform for more than eight years. I use a couple of learning platforms, but I'm on O'Reilly more than anybody else. When you're there, you start learning. I'm never disappointed.

Amir M.

Data Platform Tech Lead

I'm always learning. So when I got on to O'Reilly, I was like a kid in a candy store. There are playlists. There are answers. There's on-demand training. It's worth its weight in gold, in terms of what it allows me to do.
