Numpy‑ML: A Comprehensive Pure‑NumPy Implementation of Machine Learning Algorithms
The Numpy‑ML project by David Bourgin provides a 30,000‑line pure‑NumPy library that implements a wide range of classic machine‑learning algorithms, data‑preprocessing tools, and neural‑network components, offering an educational resource for deepening algorithmic understanding rather than replacing mature frameworks.
David Bourgin from UC Berkeley created the numpy-ml repository, a pure‑NumPy implementation of almost all classic machine‑learning algorithms, totaling over 30,000 lines of code including data preprocessing utilities.
The project covers:
Gaussian Mixture Model (EM training)
Hidden Markov Model (Viterbi decoding, likelihood computation, Baum‑Welch parameter estimation)
Latent Dirichlet Allocation (variational EM and MCMC MAP variants)
Neural networks with layers, modules, regularization, optimizers, learning‑rate schedulers, initializers, loss functions, activation functions, and various model architectures (VAE, WGAN, etc.)
Tree‑based models (CART, random forest, gradient‑boosted trees)
Linear models (ridge regression, logistic regression, least squares, Bayesian linear regression)
n‑gram sequence models, reinforcement‑learning agents, non‑parametric models (kernel regression, k‑NN), extensive preprocessing tools, and utility functions.
The library is intended for educational purposes to deepen understanding of algorithms rather than replace mature frameworks.
