title: Loading Torch7 trained models (.t7) in PyTorch
body: <p>I am using Torch7 library for implementing neural networks.  Mostly, I rely on pre-trained models. In Lua I use torch.load function to load a model saved as torch .t7 file. I am curious about switching to PyTorch( <a href="http://pytorch.org" rel="noreferrer">http://pytorch.org</a>) and I read the documents. I couldn't find any information regarding the mechanisms to load a pre-trained model. The only relevant information I was able to find is this page:<a href="http://pytorch.org/docs/torch.html" rel="noreferrer">http://pytorch.org/docs/torch.html</a></p>
  
  <p>But the function torch.load described in the page seems to load a file saved with pickle. If someone has additional information on loading .t7 models in PyTorch, please share it here. </p>
