mantissa-nn 0.1.0

Shared neural-net primitives (Dense, backends, engine binding) for the mantissa C engine

mantissa-nn

The shared neural-net base for the mantissa family.

mantissa-nn holds the primitives every other package in the family reuses, so that the specialized packages depend on this base rather than on each other:

• the C-engine binding (mantissa_nn._engine.engine) — loads mantissa once and gates on the dense primitive every model needs;
• the pure-numpy reference backend (mantissa_nn._numpy_backend) — the identical call signatures in numpy, the correctness oracle;
• the fully-connected layers Dense / Flatten and the Layer contract (mantissa_nn.layers).

Datasets are deliberately not here — each package owns and downloads its own, so they stay independent.

Built on top of it:

package	adds
mantissa-cnn	convolution + pooling layers, a CNN model zoo
mantissa-mlp	the tabular training loop + tabular datasets
mantissa-autoencoder	encoder/decoder model + decoder layers

from mantissa_nn import layers
from mantissa_nn._engine import engine     # the shared mantissa.Mantissa

The default compute path is the mantissa C engine (>= 0.2.1); backend="numpy" in the model packages selects the pure-numpy reference implementation.

Install

pip install mantissa-nn

For the development layout, clone the family repos as siblings and pip install -e . — a sibling mantissa/ checkout is picked up automatically when mantissa-core is not installed.
