> A modern, lightweight library for Neuromorphic Audio Processing using Spiking Neural Networks

## 🌟 Overview

AcouSpike is a PyTorch-based framework designed for neuromorphic audio processing using Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs). It provides a flexible and efficient way to build, train, and deploy SNN models for various audio processing tasks.

## 🚀 Features

- **Flexible Architecture**
  - Build custom SNN models using PyTorch
  - Support for various neuron types and synaptic connections
  - Modular design for easy extension

- **Audio Processing**
  - Built-in support for common audio tasks
  - Efficient spike encoding for audio signals

- **Developer Friendly**
  - Minimal dependencies
  - Comprehensive documentation
  - Full test coverage
  - Easy-to-follow examples

## 🔧 Installation
[TODO] make the acouspike a pip package
```bash
pip install -i https://test.pypi.org/simple/ acouspike==0.0.0.1
```

## 💡 Quick Start

```python
import acouspike as asp

# Create a simple SNN model
model = asp.models.SimpleSNN(
    input_size=64,
    hidden_size=128,
    output_size=10
)

# Train the model
trainer = asp.training.SNNTrainer(model)
trainer.train(dataset)
```

## 🎯 Examples

Ready-to-use examples are available in the `recipes` directory:

- Speaker Identification
```bash
cd recipes/speaker_identification
python run.sh
```

- Keyword Spotting
```bash
cd recipes/keyword_spotting
python run.sh
```
