Release Notes

We're happy to announce that carefree-learn released v0.4.x, which is much clearer, much more unified, and also much more lightweight!

Main Changes

In the v0.3.x era, Pipelines (e.g., MLPipeline, CVPipeline) are implemented in a tricky and unpleasant way - they overly depend on inheritance, causing hundreds of thousands of duplicated / unneeded / workaround codes.

Same problems also occur at the data module: MLData is powerful but nobody can maintain it, CVData utilizes third party libraries pretty well but nobody knows how to use it.

In v0.4.x, we abstracted out the true Pipeline structure: it should just be a series of Blocks. When it is running, each Block do its own job. When saving/loading, each Block saves/loads its own assets.

Under this design, we are able to refactor the original Pipelines into a unified one. What's more exciting is that the data module can also be refactored into the new Pipeline structure, like this.

Documentation

v0.4.x is still under heavy development, so currently the documentation is out of date. I'll try to update it ASAP and before that, it might be a good start to look at the examples, which cover quite a few use cases!
