doddle-model is an in-memory machine learning library that can be summed up with three main characteristics:

it is built on top of Breeze
it provides immutable estimators that are a doddle to use in parallel code
it exposes its functionality through a scikit-learn-like API [2] in idiomatic Scala using typeclasses

How does it compare to existing solutions?

doddle-model takes the position of scikit-learn in Scala and as a consequence, it's much more lightweight than e.g. Spark ML. Fitted models can be deployed anywhere, from simple applications to concurrent, distributed systems built with Akka, Apache Beam or a framework of your choice. Training of estimators happens in-memory, which is advantageous unless you are dealing with enormous datasets that absolutely cannot fit into RAM.

Installation

The project is published for Scala versions 2.11, 2.12 and 2.13. Add the dependency to your SBT project definition:

libraryDependencies  ++= Seq(
  "io.github.picnicml" %% "doddle-model" % "<latest_version>",
  // add optionally to utilize native libraries for a significant performance boost
  "org.scalanlp" %% "breeze-natives" % "1.0"
)

Note that the latest version is displayed in the Latest Release badge above and that the v prefix should be removed from the SBT definition.
