C++ Machine Learning Library

cpp-ml-library is a C++ library implementing foundational machine learning algorithms inspired by the Udemy course "Machine Learning A-Z: AI, Python & R" taught by Kirill Eremenko and Hadelin de Ponteves. This project aims to reimplement key algorithms from the course in C++ to provide reusable implementations for educational purposes, experimentation, and practical applications in larger C++ projects.

Getting Started

Requirements

• C++20
• CMake 3.18+ (if using CMake for building)
• Any C++ compiler that supports C++20 (e.g., GCC 10+, Clang 10+, MSVC)

Building the Library

To build the library with CMake:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make

Installing the Library

After building, you can install the library system-wide:

make install

Usage

To use this library in your C++ project, include the master header file:

#include "ml_library_include/ml.h"

The following machine learning algorithms are planned, inspired by concepts and techniques taught in the Udemy course:

1. Regression

   • [x] Polynomial Regression (PolynomialRegression)
   • [x] Multi-Linear Regression (MultilinearRegression)
   • [x] Logistic Regression (LogisticRegression)
   • [x] Decision Tree Regression (DecisionTreeRegressor)
   • [x] Random Forest Regression (RandomForestRegressor)
   • [x] K-Nearest Neighbors (KNNRegressor)

2. Classification

   • [x] Decision Tree Classifier (DecisionTreeClassifier)
   • [x] Random Forest Classifier (RandomForestClassifier)
   • [x] K-Nearest Neighbors (KNNClassifier)

3. Clustering

   • [x] K-Means Clustering (KMeans)
   • [x] Hierarchical clustering (HierarchicalClustering)

4. Neural Networks

   • [x] Neural Network (NeuralNetwork)

Algorithm Implementation Progress

Examples

Each algorithm will include example usage. Examples are located in the examples/ directory.

Example: Decision Tree Classifier

#include "ml/ml.h"
#include <vector>
#include <iostream>

int main() {
    ml::tree::DecisionTreeClassifier dtc;
    std::vector<std::vector<double>> data = { {5.1, 3.5, 1.4, 0.2}, {4.9, 3.0, 1.4, 0.2} };
    std::vector<int> labels = { 0, 1 };
    dtc.fit(data, labels);

    int prediction = dtc.predict({5.1, 3.5, 1.4, 0.2});
    std::cout << "Predicted class: " << prediction << std::endl;

    return 0;
}
