Description: # The Cottonwood Machine Learning Framework
        
        Cottonwood is built to as flexible as possible, top to bottom.
        It's designed to minimize the iteration time when running experiments
        and testing ideas. It's meant to be tweaked. Fork it. Add to it. Customize it
        to solve the problem at hand. For more of the thought behind it, read
        the post "
        [Why another framework?](https://end-to-end-machine-learning.teachable.com/blog/171633/cottonwood-flexible-neural-network-framework)
        
        This code is always evolving. I recommend referencing a specific tag
        whenever you use it in a project. Tags are labeled v1, v2, etc. and
        the code attached to each one won't change.
        
        If you want to follow along with the construction process for Cottonwood,
        you can get a step-by-step walkthrough in End-to-End Machine Learning
        [Course 312](https://end-to-end-machine-learning.teachable.com/p/write-a-neural-network-framework/)
        and

        ## Try it out
        
        ```bash
        python3 -m pip install "cottonwood==8" --user
        python3
        ```
        ```python3
        >>> import cottonwood.demo
        ```
        
        ## Start playing
        
        If you'd like to experiment with ideas of your own, you'll want
        to clone the repository to your local machine and install it from there.
        
        ```bash
        git clone https://github.com/brohrer/cottonwood.git
        python3 -m pip install -e cottonwood --user --no-cache
        cd cottonwood
        git checkout v8
        ```
