Project Title

sonnet — TensorFlow-based Neural Network Library for Machine Learning Research

Overview

Sonnet is a neural network library built on top of TensorFlow 2, designed to provide simple, composable abstractions for machine learning research. Developed by DeepMind, it offers a flexible programming model centered around the snt.Module concept, allowing users to construct neural networks for various purposes with ease.

Key Features

Flexible and composable abstractions for building neural networks
Built on top of TensorFlow 2, leveraging its capabilities
Designed for un/supervised learning, reinforcement learning, and more
Predefined modules and networks for common tasks (e.g., snt.Linear, snt.Conv2D, snt.nets.MLP)

Use Cases

Researchers and developers building neural networks for machine learning tasks
Users requiring a flexible and customizable framework for their ML models
Projects involving un/supervised learning, reinforcement learning, and other advanced ML techniques

Advantages

Simple and powerful programming model centered around snt.Module
Highly customizable and unopinionated, allowing users to build their own modules and training frameworks
Clear and focused codebase, with defaults and choices explained

Limitations / Considerations

Lacks a built-in training framework, requiring users to build or adopt their own
May require more setup and configuration compared to more opinionated frameworks

TensorFlow: A comprehensive open-source machine learning framework that Sonnet is built on top of.
PyTorch: Another popular open-source ML framework, known for its dynamic computation graph and ease of use.
Keras: A high-level neural networks API, written in Python and capable of running on top of TensorFlow, CNTK, or Theano.
