Design Philosophy
Our educational deep learning framework is built upon several core design principles:
Education-First Approach
- Prioritizes clarity and understanding over performance
- Every component is designed to be easily understood and debugged
- Comprehensive documentation explaining implementation details and design choices
Simplicity and Readability
- Written in pure Python with minimal dependencies (primarily NumPy)
- Clean, well-structured code that's easy to follow
- Avoids unnecessary complexity while maintaining essential functionality
Practical Learning Path
- PyTorch-like API to ensure familiar patterns and easy transition
- Compact yet complete implementation of core deep learning concepts
- Balance between educational value and practical utility
Transparency
- Open implementation of all components
- Clear documentation of design decisions
- No "magic" or hidden complexity
Accessibility
- Low barrier to entry for beginners
- Gradual progression from basic to advanced concepts
- Focus on debuggability and understanding
