GoLearn

GoLearn is a 'batteries included' machine learning library for Go. Simplicity, paired with customisability, is the goal. We are in active development, and would love comments from users out in the wild. Drop us a line on Twitter.

Install

See here for installation instructions.

Getting Started

Data are loaded in as Instances. You can then perform matrix like operations on them, and pass them to estimators. GoLearn implements the scikit-learn interface of Fit/Predict, so you can easily swap out estimators for trial and error. GoLearn also includes helper functions for data, like cross validation, and train and test splitting.

// Load in a dataset, with headers. Header attributes will be stored.
// Think of instances as a Data Frame structure in R or Pandas.
// You can also create instances from scratch.
data, err := base.ParseCSVToInstances("datasets/iris_headers.csv", true)

// Print a pleasant summary of your data.
fmt.Println(data)

// Split your dataframe into a training set, and a test set, with an 80/20 proportion.
trainTest := base.InstancesTrainTestSplit(rawData, 0.8)
trainData := trainTest[0]
testData := trainTest[1]

// Instantiate a new KNN classifier. Euclidean distance, with 2 neighbours.
cls := knn.NewKnnClassifier("euclidean", 2)

// Fit it on your training data.
cls.Fit(trainData)

// Get your predictions against test instances.
predictions := cls.Predict(testData)

// Print a confusion matrix with precision and recall metrics.
confusionMat, _ := evaluation.GetConfusionMatrix(testData, predictions)
fmt.Println(evaluation.GetSummary(confusionMat))
