pyndl is an implementation of Naive Discriminative Learning in Python. It was created to analyse huge amounts of text file corpora. Especially, it allows to efficiently apply the Rescorla-Wagner learning rule to these corpora.

Installation

The easiest way to install pyndl is using pip:

pip install --user pyndl

For more information have a look at the Installation Guide.

Documentation

pyndl uses sphinx to create a documentation manual. The documentation is hosted on Read the Docs.

Getting involved

The pyndl project welcomes help in the following ways:

Authors and Contributers

pyndl was mainly developed by Konstantin Sering, Marc Weitz, David-Elias Künstle, Elnaz Shafaei Bajestan and Lennart Schneider. For the full list of contributers have a look at Github’s Contributor summary.

Currently, it is maintained by Konstantin Sering and Marc Weitz.

Funding

pyndl was partially funded by the Humboldt grant, the ERC advanced grant (no. 742545) and by the University of Tübingen.

Acknowledgements

This package is build as a python replacement for the R ndl2 package. Some ideas on how to build the API and how to efficiently run the Rescorla Wagner iterative learning on large text corpora are inspired by the way the ndl2 package solves this problems. The ndl2 package is available on Github here.
