Welcome to the world of machine learning, where creativity meets analytical prowess! In this blog, we will explore a collection of minimal and clean implementations of popular machine learning algorithms, perfect for anyone looking to understand the internals or build algorithms from scratch.

Why Implement Machine Learning Algorithms from Scratch?

This project caters to those who wish to dive deep into the mechanics of machine learning algorithms. The implementations are designed to be straightforward and easy to navigate, unlike many optimized libraries that can be convoluted. By coding from scratch, you get to take control, experiment, and learn!

Implemented Algorithms

Here’s a handy list of the machine learning algorithms you will find in this collection:

• Deep learning (MLP, CNN, RNN, LSTM)
• Linear regression, logistic regression
• Random Forests
• Support Vector Machine (SVM) with kernels (Linear, Poly, RBF)
• K-Means
• Gaussian Mixture Model
• K-Nearest Neighbors
• Naive Bayes
• Principal Component Analysis (PCA)
• Factorization Machines
• Restricted Boltzmann Machine (RBM)
• t-Distributed Stochastic Neighbor Embedding (t-SNE)
• Gradient Boosting Trees (also known as GBDT, GBRT, GBM, XGBoost)
• Reinforcement Learning (Deep Q Learning)

Installation Guide

Ready to get your hands dirty? Follow these simple steps to get started:

git clone https://github.com/rushter/MLAlgorithms
cd MLAlgorithms
pip install scipy numpy
python setup.py develop

Running Examples Without Installation

If you want to test the implementations without installing the entire package, just run:

cd MLAlgorithms
python -m examples.linear_models

Running Examples Within Docker

For those who prefer a containerized environment, you can easily run the examples in Docker:

cd MLAlgorithms
docker build -t mlalgorithms .
docker run --rm -it mlalgorithms bash
python -m examples.linear_models

Troubleshooting Ideas

As with any coding journey, you might encounter a few bumps along the way. Here are some tips to help you troubleshoot:

• Make sure that your Python version is compatible with the package.
• If you encounter issues with *pip*, ensure your environment has the necessary dependencies installed.
• If Docker fails to build, ensure that Docker is properly installed and running.
