ml-research 0.5.3

PyPI
Anaconda

ML-Research is an open source library for machine learning research. It contains several utilities for Machine Learning research and algorithm implementations. Specifically, it contains scikit-learn compatible implementations for Active Learning and synthetic data generation, as well as datasets and various utilities to assist in experiment design and results reporting.

The LaTeX and Python code for generating the paper, experiments' results and visualizations shown in each paper is available (whenever possible) in the publications repo.

Installation

A Python distribution of version >= 3.11 is required to run this project. Python versions below 3.11 are not supported and pip will refuse installation on Python < 3.11. ML-Research requires:

• numpy (>= 1.20.0)
• pandas (>= 2.1.0)
• sklearn (>= 1.2.0)
• imblearn (>= 0.8.0)

Some functions in the mlresearch.utils submodule (the ones in the script _visualization.py) require Matplotlib (>= 2.2.3). The mlresearch.datasets submodule and mlresearch.utils.parallel_apply function require tqdm (>= 4.46.0) to display progress bars.

User Installation

The easiest way to install ml-research is using pip :

pip install -U ml-research

Or conda :

conda install -c conda-forge ml-research

The documentation includes more detailed installation instructions.
