+## Nkululeko
+
+Nkululeko is a project to detect speaker characteristics by machine learning experiments with a high-level interface. The idea is to have a framework (based on e.g. sklearn and torch) that can be used to rapidly and automatically analyse audio data and explore machine learning models based on that data. 
+
+Some abilities that Nkululeko provides: combines acoustic features and machine learning models (including feature selection and features concatenation); performs data exploration, selection and visualization the results; finetuning; ensemble learning models; soft labeling (predicting labels with pre-trained model); and inference the model on a test set.
+
+Nkululeko orchestrates data loading, feature extraction, and model training, allowing you to specify your experiment in a configuration file. The framework handles the process from raw data to trained model and evaluation, making it easy to run machine learning experiments without directly coding in Python.
+
+## Who is this for?
+Nkululeko is for speech processing learners, researchers and ML practitioners focused on speaker characteristics, e.g., emotion, age, gender, or disorder detection.
+
+## Installation
+
+Nkululeko requires Python 3.9 or higher with the following build status:  
+
+![Python 3.10](https://github.com/bagustris/nkululeko/actions/workflows/py310-aud-csv.yml/badge.svg)  
+![Python 3.11](https://github.com/bagustris/nkululeko/actions/workflows/py311.yml/badge.svg)    
+![Python 3.12](https://github.com/bagustris/nkululeko/actions/workflows/py312.yml/badge.svg)  
+![Python 3.13](https://github.com/bagustris/nkululeko/actions/workflows/py313.yml/badge.svg)    
+
+Create and activate a virtual Python environment and simply install Nkululeko:
+
+```bash
+# using python venv
+python -m venv .env
+source .env/bin/activate  # specify OS versions, add a separate line for Windows users 
+pip install nkululeko
+# using uv in development mode
+uv venv --python 3.12
+source .venv/bin/activate
+uv pip install -r requirements.txt
+# or run directly using uv run after cloning
+uv run python -m nkululeko.nkululeko --config examples/exp_polish_tree.ini
+```
+
+### Optional Dependencies
+
+Nkululeko supports optional dependencies through extras:
+
+```bash
+# Install with PyTorch support
+pip install nkululeko[torch]
+
+# Install with CPU-only PyTorch
+pip install nkululeko[torch-cpu]
+
+# Install with TensorFlow support
+pip install nkululeko[tensorflow]
+
+# Install all optional dependencies
+pip install nkululeko[all]
+```
+
+#### Manual Installation Options
+
+You can also install dependencies manually:
+
+##### PyTorch Installation
+
+For CPU-only installation (recommended for most users):
+```bash
+pip install torch==1.13.1 torchvision==0.14.1 torchaudio==0.13.1 --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cpu
+```
+
+For GPU support (cuda 12.6):
+```bash
+pip install torch torchvision torchaudio
+```
+
+Some functionalities require extra packages to be installed, which we didn't include automatically:
+
+* For spotlight adapter:
+  ```bash
+  pip install PyYAML  # Install PyYAML first to avoid dependency issues
+  pip install nkululeko[spotlight]
+  ```
+
+Some examples for *ini*-files (which you use to control nkululeko) are in the [examples folder](https://github.com/felixbur/nkululeko/tree/main/examples).
+
+
+
+## Documentation
+The documentation, along with extensions of installation, usage, INI file format, and examples, can be found [nkululeko.readthedocs.io](https://nkululeko.readthedocs.io).
+
+
+## Usage
+
+### [ini-file values](./ini_file.md)
+
+Basically, you specify your experiment in an ["ini" file](./ini_file.md) (e.g. *experiment.ini*) and then call one of the Nkululeko interfaces to run the experiment like this:
+
+  ```bash
+  python -m nkululeko.nkululeko --config experiment.ini
+  ```
+
+A basic configuration looks like this:
+
+```ini
+[EXP]
+root = ./
+name = exp_emodb
+[DATA]
+databases = ['emodb']
+emodb = ./emodb/
+emodb.split_strategy = speaker_split
+target = emotion
+labels = ['anger', 'boredom', 'disgust', 'fear']
+[FEATS]
+type = ['praat']
+[MODEL]
+type = svm
+[EXPL]
+model = tree
+plot_tree = True
+```
+Read the [Hello World example](#hello-world-example) for initial usage with Emo-DB dataset.
+
+Here is an overview of the interfaces/modules:
+
+All of them take *--config <my_config.ini>* as an argument.

+* Test python by typing ```python```, python should start with version >3 (NOT 2!). You can leave the Python Interpreter by typing *exit()*
+* Create a folder on your computer for this example, let's call it `nkulu_work`
+* Get a copy of the [Berlin emodb in audformat](https://zenodo.org/records/7447302/files/emodb.zip?download=1) and unpack inside the folder you just created (`nkulu_work`)
+* Make sure the folder is called "emodb" and does contain the database files directly (not box-in-a-box)
+* Also, in the `nkulu_work` folder: 
+  * Create a Python environment
+    * ```python -m venv venv```
+  * Then, activate it:
+    * under Linux / mac
+      * ```source venv/bin/activate```
+    * under Windows
+      * ```venv\Scripts\activate.bat```
+    * if that worked, you should see a ```(venv)``` in front of your prompt
+  * Install the required packages in your environment
+    * ```pip install nkululeko```
+    * Repeat until all error messages vanish (or fix them, or try to ignore them)...
+* Now you should have two folders in your *nkulu_work* folder:
+  * *emodb* and *venv*
+* Download a copy of the file [exp_emodb.ini](meta/demos/exp_emodb.ini) to the current working directory (```nkulu_work```)
+* Run the demo
+  * ```python -m nkululeko.nkululeko --config exp_emodb.ini```
+* Find the results in the newly created folder exp_emodb 
+  * Inspect ```exp_emodb/images/run_0/emodb_xgb_os_0_000_cnf.png```
+  * This is the main result of your experiment: a confusion matrix for the emodb emotional categories
+* Inspect and play around with the [demo configuration file](meta/demos/exp_emodb.ini) that defined your experiment, then re-run.
+* There are many ways to experiment with different classifiers and acoustic feature sets, [all described here](https://github.com/felixbur/nkululeko/blob/main/ini_file.md)
+  
+## Features
+The framework is targeted at the speech domain and supports experiments where different classifiers are combined with different feature extractors.
+
+* Classifiers: Naive Bayes, KNN, Tree, XGBoost, SVM, MLP
+* Feature extractors: Praat, Opensmile, openXBOW BoAW, TRILL embeddings, Wav2vec2 embeddings, audModel embeddings, ...
+* Feature scaling
+* Label encoding
+* Binning (continuous to categorical)
+* Online demo interface for trained models 
+* Visualization: confusion matrix, feature importance, feature distribution, epoch progression, t-SNE plot, data distribution, bias checking, uncertainty estimation
+
+Here's a rough UML-like sketch of the framework (and [here's the real one done with pyreverse](meta/images/classes.png)).
+![sketch](meta/images/class_diagram.png)
+
+Currently, the following linear classifiers are implemented (integrated from sklearn):
+* SVM, SVR, XGB, XGR, Tree, Tree_regressor, KNN, KNN_regressor, NaiveBayes, GMM
+  and the following ANNs (artificial neural networks)
+* MLP (multi-layer perceptron), CNN (convolutional neural network)
+
+For visualization, besides confusion matrix, feature importance, feature distribution, t-SNE plot, data distribution (just names a few), Nkululeko can also be used for bias checking, uncertainty estimation, and epoch progression.
+
+### Bias checking
+
+<details>
+In some cases, you might wonder if there's bias in your data. You can try to detect this with automatically estimated speech properties by visualizing the correlation of target labels and predicted labels.
+

+
+</details>
+
+### Uncertainty
+
+<details>
+Nkululeko estimates the uncertainty of model decisions (only for classifiers) with entropy over the class probabilities or logits per sample.
