Introduction / Set-up

Welcome

Before you begin, we’d like to express our gratitude to you for wanting to add a task to Flash. With Flash our aim is to create a great user experience, enabling awesome advanced applications with just a few lines of code. We’re really pleased with what we’ve achieved with Flash and we hope you will be too. Now let’s dive in!

Set-up

The Task template is designed to guide you through contributing a task to Flash. It contains the code, tests, and examples for a task that performs classification with a multi-layer perceptron, intended for use with the classic data sets from scikit-learn. The Flash tasks are organized in folders by data-type (image, text, video, etc.), with sub-folders for different task types (classification, regression, etc.).

Copy the files in flash/template/classification to a new sub-directory under the relevant data-type. If a data-type folder already exists for your task, then a task type sub-folder should be added containing the template files. If a data-type folder doesn’t exist, then you will need to add that too. You should also copy the files from tests/template/classification to the corresponding data-type, task type folder in tests. For example, if you were adding an image classification task, you would do:

mkdir flash/image/classification
cp flash/template/classification/* flash/image/classification/
mkdir tests/image/classification
cp tests/template/classification/* tests/image/classification/

Tutorials

The tutorials in this section will walk you through all of the components you need to implement (or adapt from the template) for your custom task.

  • The Data: our first tutorial goes over the best practices for implementing everything you need to connect data to your task

  • The Backbones: the second tutorial shows you how to create an extensible backbone registry for your task

  • The Task: now that we have the data and the models, in this tutorial we create our custom task

  • Optional Extras: this tutorial covers some optional extras you can add if needed for your particular task

  • The Example: this tutorial guides you through creating some simple examples showing your task in action

  • The Tests: in this tutorial, we cover best practices for writing some tests for your new task

  • The Docs: in our final tutorial, we provide a template for you to create the docs page for your task
