Develop a package for ML in Racket and people will use it!
I think it will take a long time to get there, but by writing a few algorithms and trying to make them uniformly accessible, I think I can get some basis going. Will see how far my motivation takes me ;) It is also a learning experience for me. I've implemented decision trees and linear regression in Python before and some other algorithms half, in some online courses, but I think there are many things I did not write yet and still need to even hear about. I'll make all my ML code freely available on Github probably and will see what becomes of it. I don't have any experience with packaging in Racket yet, but I think that is something for later, when I actually get some stuff working and the quality of code is anything I'd like to show someone. (not like the state the code is in right now, with all the issues, which were pointed out!) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Racket Users" group.
