 # Flux

+## Charging Ion Capacitors
+
+Flux is a high-level API for machine learning, implemented in Julia.
+
+Flux aims to provide a concise and expressive syntax for architectures that are hard to express within other frameworks. The notation should be familiar and extremely close to what you'd find in a paper or description of the model.
+
+The current focus is on ANNs with TensorFlow or MXNet as a backend.
