SlickML: Slick Machine Learning in Python

SlickML is a machine learning library for Python. With SlickML, you can save more time on ML-Automation and ML-Tuning. Machine learing consists of many importants tricks that can only be learned in industry while dealing with production and deployment. Thus, the main philosophy of SlickML is to bring simplicity to produce more effective models with a minimal amount of code.

Installation

First, install Python 3.6 from https://www.python.org. and then run:

pip install slickml

Note: in order to avoid any potential conflicts with other Python packages it's recommended to use a virtual environment, e.g. python3 virtualenv (see python3 virtualenv documentation) or conda environments for further documentaiton.

Quick Start

Here is an example using SlickML to quickly visualize the binary classification metrics based on multiple calculated thresholds:

# train a classifier using loaded train/test data
from sklearn.ensemble import RandomForestClassifier
clf = RandomForestClassifier()
clf.fit(X_train, y_train)
y_pred_proba = clf.predict_proba(X_test)[:, 1]

# import slickml
from slickml.metrics import BinaryClassificationMetrics
example = BinaryClassificationMetrics(y_test, y_pred_proba)
example.plot_thresholds()
