Deep Learning on Dataframes with PyTorch

The goal of this post is to lay out a framework that could get you up and running with deep learning predictions on any dataframe using PyTorch and Pandas. By any dataframe I mean any combination of: categorical features, continuous features, datetime features, regression, binary classification, or multi-classification.

I may touch upon some of the technical aspects of what is going on behind the scenes, but mostly this is meant to be a framework discussion rather than a technical discussion. If you want to dig in further I suggest fast.ai courses in deep…
