Mill.jl (Multiple Instance Learning Library) is a library aimed to build flexible hierarchical multi-instance learning models built on top of Flux.jl. It is developed to be:

• flexible and versatile
• as general as possible
• fast
• and dependent on only handful of other packages

Watch our introductory talk from JuliaCon 2021
