Getting Started with d2l-mindspore: A Beginner’s Guide

Feb 25, 2024 | Data Science

Welcome to the world of deep learning with MindSpore! In this guide, we will walk you through the process of using the d2l-mindspore repository, an unofficial implementation of the popular Dive Into Deep Learning book, tailored for MindSpore users. This setup enables you to dive into deep learning easily, leveraging the power of MindSpore 2.0 and above on various hardware platforms.

How to Use d2l-mindspore

Follow these simple steps to get started:

1. Download and Run

  • Clone the repository:
    bash git clone https://github.com/lvyufeng/d2l-mindspore
  • Install dependency libraries:
    bash cd d2l-mindspore
    pip install -r requirements.txt
  • Start Jupyter Lab to run the code:
    bash cd d2l-mindspore
    jupyter lab

    If you’re using root, remember to use jupyter lab --allow-root.

2. Watch the Online Courses

You can enhance your learning experience by watching online courses. If you prefer Chinese, you can find the courses on Bilibili. We recommend utilizing the repository after viewing these videos for a comprehensive understanding.

Understanding the Code: An Analogy

Imagine building a car. The d2l-mindspore repository functions as the blueprint, guiding you on how to assemble the components. The commands you input are like the instructions you follow step by step. Just as a car requires a well-assembled engine and proper fuel to run, the MindSpore library and dependencies (like fuel) need to be correctly set up to start building and training your deep learning models efficiently.

Troubleshooting

Should you encounter any issues while setting up the environment or running the code, here are some tips to help you out:

  • Dependency Issues: Ensure all libraries mentioned in the requirements.txt file are correctly installed. Running the command again can resolve missing package errors.
  • Permissions Error: If you experience permission issues, consider using jupyter lab --allow-root when running as a root user.
  • Jupyter Not Starting: Make sure your installation of Jupyter is correct. If it still doesn’t work, reinstall Jupyter using pip install jupyter.
