dlfb

This repo contains the dlfb companion library, with utilities to simplify preprocessing, model building, training, and evaluation.

The library is installed as one of the setup steps in the Colab notebooks available in https://github.com/deep-learning-for-biology/notebooks.

Contributing

We welcome contributions!

• Issues: Use Issues only for reproducible bugs in the codebase (e.g. broken code, dependency errors, incorrect results). This separation helps keep bug reports from getting lost in general conversation.
• Pull Requests: Contributions that add new utilities, improve existing implementations, or expand the notebooks are very welcome! Please keep PRs focused and include a clear description of the change.
