An intuitive machine learning library for beginners, in python.
This library is my code base for storing code of popular machine learning algorithms from scratch while I understand them, keeping code-readability and simplicity over efficiency.
Cupy is used to take advantage of cuda computing of NVIDIA GPUs.
CuPy is an open-source matrix library accelerated with NVIDIA CUDA. It also uses CUDA-related libraries including cuBLAS, cuDNN, cuRand, cuSolver, cuSPARSE, cuFFT and NCCL to make full use of the GPU architecture.
The backend for mathematical computations can be switched using -
import fromscratchtoml
fromscratchtoml.use("numpy") # for numpy backend (default)
fromscratchtoml.use("cupy") # or cupy backendSince Travis (cloud CI) doesn't support cupy. Cupy must be installed manually using -
pip install cupy
NOTE - To mantain consistency with the backend, it is recommended to use import fromscratchtoml as np everywhere in your code.
You can install from pypi.
pip install fromscratchtoml
This is the most stable build.
If you are interested in installing the most bleeding edge but not too stable version. You can install from source -
git clone https://github.com/markroxor/fromscratchtoml.git
pip install -r requirements.txt
python setup.py install
- Well documented API usage is available at pydoc
- Feature requests and bugs reports can be tracked on issue tracker.
Good programmers know what to write. Great ones know what to rewrite (and reuse). While I don't claim to be a great programmer, I try to imitate one. An important trait of the great ones is constructive laziness. They know that you get an A not for effort but for results, and that it's almost always easier to start from a good partial solution than from nothing at all. Linus Torvalds, for example, didn't actually try to write Linux from scratch. Instead, he started by reusing code and ideas from Minix, a tiny Unix-like operating system for PC clones. Eventually all the Minix code went away or was completely rewritten—but while it was there, it provided scaffolding for the infant that would eventually become Linux.

The Game of Life (or simply Life) is not a game in the conventional sense. There are no players, and no winning or losing. Once the "pieces" are placed in the starting position, the rules determine everything that happens later. Nevertheless, Life is full of surprises! In most cases, it is impossible to look at a starting position (or pattern) and see what will happen in the future. The only way to find out is to follow the rules of the game.

I created this library while understanding the coding aspects of the machine learning algorithms from various sources and blogs around the internet. A non-exhaustive list of those resources can be found at the Wiki page.
