_bridge-ds_ is a lightweight Python framework designed to provide a
unified interface to deep learning datasets from different
modalities: Perform global operations, aggregations and queries
with a Pandas-like
experience, and handle individual samples and raw data using a
class-based, tab-completion-ey interface.

# Installation

You can install the latest version of Bridge's from PyPI. It comes in a few flavors:

*Core*: The core package includes the basic functionality of Bridge.

```console
$ uv add bridge-ds
```
*Vision*: The vision package includes the core package and additional (opinionated) functionality for working with image datasets.

```console
$ uv add bridge-ds[vision]
```

* _NOTE_: to run the demo notebooks locally, you'll need the `vision` package.

## Roadmap

bridge-ds is under active development, currently in a pre-alpha stage.

The following is a rough roadmap of the planned features:

- Video Support
    - [ ] DataIO for video
    - [ ] DisplayEngine (video player)
    - [ ] DatasetProviders (for popular video datasets)
    - [ ] Transforms (clipping, sampling, augmentation)
- Text
    - [ ] DatasetProviders
    - [ ] DisplayEngine (adapt existing engine to work with classic text tasks: translation, Q&A, etc.)
- Core
    - [ ] DualDatasets (for tasks with two main elements e.g. image-image, image-text,text-text)
    - [ ] Stress testing (currently have no capacity to test huge datasets)
