TL;DR - Work with any data in Flux  
Want to do Deep learning with [Flux.jl](https://github.com/FluxML/) with _custom_ data (Computer vision/ NLP etc)? Don’t want to write your own functions again and again?  
I am trying to build a package that will allow you to work with any type of data in Flux without having to reinvent the wheel and also download a large number of standard datasets directly (thanks to [fastai](https://www.fast.ai)). Many features done and documented and many more on the way..

**PRs and feedback would be amazing**.  
It would help in research beyond MNIST and CIFAR (lol)  
Flux is awesome and I want to use it more. So this is one step towards that.

> I am not setting this up as a PR to flux yet. But I might if it ends up being of use.

Hi @SubhadityaMukherjee, you may be interested in some of the work we’re doing over at [https://github.com/FluxML/FastAI.jl](https://github.com/FluxML/FastAI.jl) and more broadly in [https://github.com/FluxML/ML-Coordination-Tracker](https://github.com/FluxML/ML-Coordination-Tracker). It would be good to consolidate efforts so that we can further reduce the (already fragmented) ML data loading ecosystem!

Oh okay. I will check those out. If it’s that similar then we can probably merge things or work together. 🙂  
Thank you!
