In Torch, the torchvision.transforms module can be used for data preprocessing. Common data preprocessing operations include:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. resize transformation<\/li>\n
  2. CenterCrop function that makes the transformation.<\/li>\n
  3. Randomly flips the input image horizontally.<\/li>\n
  4. randomly rotates the image<\/li>\n
  5. converts an image to grayscale<\/li>\n
  6. normalize data transformations<\/li>\n
  7. converts the data into a tensor<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Here is an example demonstrating how to use transforms for data preprocessing.<\/p>\n
