    "# 🤖 Custom Speedup Methods\n",

    "One of Composer's superpowers is its suite of speed-up algorithms. By default, Composer comes packed with a (growing) set of algorithms, but it is also easy to add your own! This tutorial shows you how.\n",

    "### Recommended Background\n",
    "\n",
    "This tutorial assumes that you have a working familiarity with PyTorch training loops and a general familiarity with Composer. Make sure you're comfortable with the material in the [getting started tutorial][getting_started] before you embark on this slightly more advanced tutorial.\n",
    "\n",
    "### Tutorial Goals and Concepts Covered\n",
    "\n",
    "The goal of this tutorial is to illustrate the process of implementing a custom method to work with the Composer trainer. In order, it will cover:\n",
    "\n",
    "* [Implementing a method using standard PyTorch](#implementing-a-method-with-pytorch)\n",
    "* [Brief overview of events and state in Composer](#events-and-state-in-composer)\n",
    "* [Modifying the implementation to work with Composer](#implementing-a-method-with-composer)\n",
    "* [Composing multiple methods together](#composing-multiple-methods)\n",
    "\n",
    "We will see that getting a method working with Composer is not very different from getting it working with vanilla PyTorch. With just a couple extra steps we can use our algorithm while enjoying the flexibility and simplicity of Composer!\n",

This reduces the size of the training images, which reduces the time per training iteration and hopefully does not alter the semantic content of the image too much. Additionally, dropping a small fraction of random rows and columns can also slightly distort objects and perhaps provide a data augmentation effect.\n",
