GSoC Final Report: Improving the user experience

Name: Yuhui Liu
Organization: Shogun Machine Learning Toolbox
Mentor: Heiko, Viktor and Gil

Overview

This page contains links to the work I have done for Shogun as part of my GSoC project, the shogun toolbox has implemented many machine learning algorithm, but some APIs of shogun are not very friendly, so my GSoC project mainly is to improving the user experience, make shogun more easy use,
the first period I did is to make machine class stateless, we don’t want to store feature and label in
machine class, feature/label as passed parameters is a better way. The second period I did is to write label encoder class which can transform one type label to another type. The last period has been spent working on writing composite class which can combine multiple machine learning algorithm, and providing a new cross-validation wrapper which can choose the best parameters from the provided list.
More details can be found in the blog posts.
