Labeeb (previously known as Natasy) is a beginner-friendly toolkit for working with neural networks. It is a complete machine learning engine designed and developed to be both easy to use and source code readable. It is a straightforward implementation of different algorithms and techniques of machine learning in Python. You can use it for small projects and/or educational purposes. QCRI engineer Mohamed Eldesouki released Labeeb in 2017 to act as a light weight library to build deep neural networks for the pupose deploying on edge devices such as Mobile phones, IoT, and wearable devices.

Backpropagation is implemented in boring detail such that derivative steps is taken carefully and without any implicit or hidden details

Labeeb is Arabic word means smart. It is intended to be easy to use and intuitive to build your neural network. To build you network to classify the will known MNIST dataset:

1. Define your network

from labeeb.neural_network.network import NeuralNetwork
from labeeb.neural_network.activations import Activation
from labeeb.optimization import Optimizer


my_nn = NeuralNetwork(n_features=400, n_classes=10)

# Build up the layers as you want
my_nn.add_layer(100, activation=Activation.leaky_relu, dropout_keep_prob=1)    
my_nn.add_layer(12, activation=Activation.softmax_stable, output_layer=True)

# Finally, call the optimizer
gd_optimizer = Optimizer(loss='multinomial_cross_entropy', method='adam') # gd-with-momentum gradient-descent rmsprop adam
gd_optimizer.minimize(my_nn, epochs=100, mini_batch_size=5000, learning_rate=.1, regularization_parameter=0, dataset=mnist)

The following is the complete source code for the example. More examples can be found under Labeeb/examples.
