What is DynaML?

DynaML is a Scala environment for conducting research and education in Machine Learning. DynaML comes packaged with a powerful library of classes for various predictive models and a Scala REPL where one can not only build custom models but also play around with data work-flows.

DynaML uses the newly minted Wisp plotting library to generate aesthetic charts of common model validation metrics.

Motivation behind DynaML

DynaML was born out of the need to have a performant, extensible and easy to use Machine Learning research environment. Scala was a natural choice for these requirements due to its sprawling data science ecosystem (i.e. Apache Spark), its functional object-oriented duality and its interoperability with the Java Virtual Machine.

Current status/Road ahead

DynaML is a fledgling open source project that is in a phase of rapid expansion. Currently it supports.

  • Binary Classification/Regression with LS-SVM
  • Regression with Gaussian Processes
  • Model tuning ..* Grid Search ..* Maximum Likelihood (ML-II) ..* Coupled Simulated Annealing
  • Model validation metrics (RMSE, Area under ROC)
  • Entropy based data subset selection
  • Data Pipes for configurable workflows

Going ahead we aim to introduce (but not limit to)

  • Neural Network based models
  • Time Series Models
  • Sampling based Bayesian models
  • GPU support
