Description

This is a Python toolbox brewed at the Mittweida University of Applied Sciences in Germany for bleeding-edge research in Prototype-based Machine Learning methods and other interpretable models. The focus of ProtoFlow is ease-of-use, extensibility and speed.

Installation

ProtoFlow can be easily installed using pip. To install the latest version, run

pip install -U protoflow

To also install the extras, run

pip install -U protoflow[docs,others,tests]

To install the bleeding-edge features and improvements before they are release on PyPI, run

git clone https://github.com/si-cim/protoflow.git
git checkout dev
cd protoflow
pip install -e .[docs,others,tests]

For gpu support, run

pip install -U protoflow[gpu]

Usage

For researchers

ProtoFlow is modular. It is very easy to use the modular pieces provided by ProtoFlow, like the layers, losses, callbacks and metrics to build your own prototype-based(instance-based) models. These pieces blend-in seamlessly with Keras allowing you to mix and match the modules from ProtoFlow with other Keras modules.

For engineers

ProtoFlow comes prepackaged with many popular Learning Vector Quantization (LVQ)-like algorithms in a convenient API. If you would simply like to be able to use those algorithms to train large ML models on a GPU, ProtoFlow lets you do this without requiring a black-belt in high-performance Tensor computation.
