-# Welcome to sktime
-
-> A unified interface for machine learning with time series
-
-:rocket: **Version 0.16.0 out now!** [Check out the release notes here](https://www.sktime.org/en/latest/changelog.html).
-
-sktime is a library for time series analysis in Python. It provides a unified interface for multiple time series learning tasks. Currently, this includes time series classification, regression, clustering, annotation and forecasting. It comes with [time series algorithms](https://www.sktime.org/en/stable/estimator_overview.html) and [scikit-learn] compatible tools to build, tune and validate time series models.

-## :dizzy: Features
-Our aim is to make the time series analysis ecosystem more interoperable and usable as a whole. sktime provides a __unified interface for distinct but related time series learning tasks__. It features [__dedicated time series algorithms__](https://www.sktime.org/en/stable/estimator_overview.html) and __tools for composite model building__ including pipelining, ensembling, tuning and reduction that enables users to apply an algorithm for one task to another.
-
-sktime also provides **interfaces to related libraries**, for example [scikit-learn], [statsmodels], [tsfresh], [PyOD] and [fbprophet], among others.
-
-For **deep learning**, see our companion package: [sktime-dl](https://github.com/sktime/sktime-dl).

-## :bulb: Project vision
-
-* **by the community, for the community** -- developed by a friendly and collaborative community.
-* the **right tool for the right task** -- helping users to diagnose their learning problem and suitable scientific model types.
-* **embedded in state-of-art ecosystems** and **provider of interoperable interfaces** -- interoperable with [scikit-learn], [statsmodels], [tsfresh], and other community favourites.
-* **rich model composition and reduction functionality** -- build tuning and feature extraction pipelines, solve forecasting tasks with [scikit-learn] regressors.
-* **clean, descriptive specification syntax** -- based on modern object-oriented design principles for data science.
-* **fair model assessment and benchmarking** -- build your models, inspect your models, check your models, avoid pitfalls.
-* **easily extensible** -- easy extension templates to add your own algorithms compatible with sktime's API.

+## :bulb: Project vision
+
+* **by the community, for the community** -- developed by a friendly and collaborative community.
+* the **right tool for the right task** -- helping users to diagnose their learning problem and suitable scientific model types.
+* **embedded in state-of-art ecosystems** and **provider of interoperable interfaces** -- interoperable with [scikit-learn], [statsmodels], [tsfresh], and other community favourites.
+* **rich model composition and reduction functionality** -- build tuning and feature extraction pipelines, solve forecasting tasks with [scikit-learn] regressors.
+* **clean, descriptive specification syntax** -- based on modern object-oriented design principles for data science.
+* **fair model assessment and benchmarking** -- build your models, inspect your models, check your models, avoid pitfalls.
+* **easily extensible** -- easy extension templates to add your own algorithms compatible with scikit-time's API.
