This is a discussion page for a new feature in SlicerSALT under development.

Goal: Add a module to SlicerSALT allowing for deep learning classification support.

Features:

- python module
- use of keras for deep learning
- n-class classification
- fully connected networks with predefined features (customizable)
- convolutional networks via spherical mapping (kernels defined on sphere) with predefined features (customizable)
- generation and execution of keras scripts that can be edited by users (if they are experts)
- tutorial with use cases

Any suggestion/comments are welcome. But yes, we/I need to flesh this out with more details. I am not asking for a specific question, more wanting to hear from potential users whether there are things we should make sure to include & support in that SALT module.

Is the module already working?
