The implementation is compatible with the scikit-learn ecosystem. It supports both dense and sparse inputs and GPU-accelerated computing via cupy. Furthermore, the classifier can be embedded in a neural network architecture using pytorch. The network supports real and complex-valued inputs and outputs probabilities in the range [0, 1]. Classification performance, explainability, and computational efficiency are discussed. The method also applies to non-textual data and can be used in practice as a general-purpose classifier DTSTART:20230307T161500 DTEND:20230307T164500 DTSTAMP:20230227T125433 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
