Welcome ##################################

PyDeep is a machine learning / deep learning library with focus on unsupervised learning. The library has a modular design, is well documented and purely written in Python/Numpy. This allows you to understand, use, modify, and debug the code easily. Furthermore, its extensive use of unittests assures a high level of reliability and correctness.
