## Introduction

**AlphaNetworks** combines state-of-the-art architectures with custom deep learning layers to offer superior performance in image classification tasks. By leveraging pre-trained weights, advanced optimization techniques, and flexible blocks, it ensures robust feature extraction and better generalization.

---

## Features

- **Custom Layers**: Includes `MoEBlock`, `MLABlock`, and `AlphaBlocks` for advanced deep learning models.
- **Hybrid Architecture**: Integrates ResNet50V2 and DenseNet169.
- **Data Augmentation**: Enhances model robustness.
- **CLI Support**: Train and configure models via the command line.
- **Customizable Hyperparameters**: Adjust learning rate, batch size, etc.
- **Download Pretrained Weights**: Automatically fetch required weights.

---

## Installation

### Prerequisites

- **Python**: Version 3.6 or higher.
- **TensorFlow**: Version 2.x or later.
- **pip**: Latest version recommended.

### Installation via Pip

Install **AlphaNetworks** directly from PyPI:

```bash
pip install alphanetworks
```

---

## Usage

### Command-Line Interface

#### Basic Usage

```bash
alphanetworks-train --train_dir TRAIN --val_dir VAL [OPTIONS]
```

#### Options

- `--train_dir` or `-t`: Path to the training dataset.
- `--val_dir` or `-v`: Path to the validation dataset.
- `--epochs` or `-e`: Number of training epochs (default: 50).
- `--batch_size` or `-b`: Batch size for training and validation (default: 8).
- `--learning_rate` or `-lr`: Initial learning rate for the Adam optimizer (default: 0.0001).
- `--num_classes` or `-nc`: Number of target classes for classification (default: 10).
- `--output_dir` or `-o`: Directory to save model weights and reports (default: `./output`).

#### Help

For a detailed list of options, run:

```bash
alphanetworks-train --help
```

---

### Examples

#### Example 1: Basic Training

```bash
alphanetworks-train --train_dir ./data/train --val_dir ./data/val --epochs 20
```

#### Example 2: Custom Parameters

```bash
alphanetworks-train --train_dir ./data/train --val_dir ./data/val --epochs 50   --batch_size 16 --learning_rate 0.0005 --num_classes 20 --output_dir ./models
```

---

### Programmatic Usage

```python
from alphanetworks import build_model

# Build the model
model = build_model(input_shape=(224, 224, 3), num_classes=10)

# Compile the model
model.compile(
    optimizer="adam",
    loss="categorical_crossentropy",
    metrics=["accuracy"]
)

# Train the model
model.fit(train_data, validation_data=val_data, epochs=30)
```

---

## Troubleshooting

### Download Errors

During runtime, pre-trained weights for ResNet50V2 or DenseNet169 are automatically downloaded. Ensure you have a stable internet connection.
