README 

        
*nolearn* contains a number of wrappers and abstractions around

existing neural network libraries, most notably `Lasagne

`_, along with a few machine learning

utility modules.  All code is written to be compatible with

`scikit-learn `_.



.. note::



  nolearn is currently unmaintained.  However, if you follow the

  installation instructions, you should still be able to get it to

  work (namely with library versions that are outdated at this point).



  If you're looking for an alternative to *nolearn.lasagne*, a library

  that integrates neural networks with scikit-learn, then take a look

  at `skorch `_, which wraps

  PyTorch for scikit-learn.

Installation

============



We recommend using `venv

`_ (when using Python 3)

or `virtualenv

`_

(Python 2) to install nolearn.



nolearn comes with a list of known good versions of dependencies that

we test with in ``requirements.txt``.  To install the latest version

of nolearn from Git along with these known good dependencies, run

these two commands::



  pip install -r https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dnouri/nolearn/master/requirements.txt

  pip install git+https://github.com/dnouri/nolearn.git



Documentation

=============



If you're looking for how to use *nolearn.lasagne*, then there's two

introductory tutorials that you can choose from:



- `Using convolutional neural nets to detect facial keypoints tutorial

  `_

  with `code `__



- `Training convolutional neural networks with nolearn

  `_

  

For specifics around classes and functions out of the *lasagne*

package, such as layers, updates, and nonlinearities, you'll want to

look at the `Lasagne project's documentation

`_.



*nolearn.lasagne* comes with a `number of tests

`__

that demonstrate some of the more advanced features, such as networks

with merge layers, and networks with multiple inputs.



`nolearn's own documentation `__

is somewhat out of date at this point.  But there's more resources

online.



Finally, there's a few presentations and examples from around the web.

Note that some of these might need a specific version of nolearn and

Lasange to run:



- Oliver Dürr's `Convolutional Neural Nets II Hands On

  `_ with

  `code `__



- Roelof Pieters' presentation `Python for Image Understanding

  `_

  comes with nolearn.lasagne code examples



- Benjamin Bossan's `Otto Group Product Classification Challenge

  using nolearn/lasagne

  `_



- Kaggle's `instructions on how to set up an AWS GPU instance to run

  nolearn.lasagne

  `_

  and the facial keypoint detection tutorial



- `An example convolutional autoencoder

  `_



- Winners of the saliency prediction task in the 2015 `LSUN Challenge

  `_ have published their

  `lasagne/nolearn-based code

  `__.



- The winners of the 2nd place in the `Kaggle Diabetic Retinopathy Detection

  challenge `_ have

  published their `lasagne/nolearn-based code

  `__.



- The winner of the 2nd place in the `Kaggle Right Whale Recognition

  challenge `_ has

  published his `lasagne/nolearn-based code

  `__.



Support

=======



If you're seeing a bug with nolearn, please submit a bug report to the

`nolearn issue tracker `_.

Make sure to include information such as:



- how to reproduce the error: show us how to trigger the bug using a

  minimal example



- what versions you are using: include the Git revision and/or version

  of nolearn (and possibly Lasagne) that you're using



Please also make sure to search the issue tracker to see if your issue

has been encountered before or fixed.



If you believe that you're seeing an issue with Lasagne, which is a

different software project, please use the `Lasagne issue tracker

`_ instead.



There's currently no user mailing list for nolearn.  However, if you

have a question related to Lasagne, you might want to try the `Lasagne

users list `_, or use

Stack Overflow.  Please refrain from contacting the authors for

non-commercial support requests directly; public forums are the right

place for these.
