Yes agree! Personally I'd also find a side-by-side example of numpy / scipy v helpful, furthering the existing docs there. Even without that, I think it's a great idea.
That sounds like a good idea to me. We do have a few examples in modules linked at the bottom of ndarray_for_numpy_users
, but they're pretty minimal and focus more on ndarray
than the ecosystem as a whole. We should also review the files in the examples
directory to see if we need to update/remove any of them.
I have been going through the files in the examples directory and I have to admit that it's not obvious what we are trying to show in some of them. When I'm back I'll do a second pass and ask for help on those that remain obscure.
First sketch is out: https://github.com/rust-ndarray/ndarray-examples
I still need to add a CI pipeline (mirroring @termoshtt's work on ndarray-linalg
) - suggestions are welcome :+1:
P.S. The linear regression example is currently using a hard-coded openblas
feature for ndarray-linalg
(even though the README says it's selectable). Still some work to do there to figure out how to actually make it selectable when running the example :eyes:
Backend selection is now working as expected. Unfortunately, it seems we can't provide a top-level backend selection mechanism due to https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/issues/5015 - it has to be done in the Cargo.toml
of each example. (Tracking issue for the feature request on cargo
: https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/issues/4753)
I have another PR up, with a simple implementation of K-Means clustering: https://github.com/rust-ndarray/ndarray-examples/pull/2
Looking for :eyes:
In https://github.com/rust-ndarray/ndarray-linalg/pull/166 @munckymagik advanced the idea of adding a new repository to
rust-ndarray
to host more complex standalone examples.It could be a good place to showcase what is possible using the different pieces of the ecosystem, in a sort of cookbook format.
I love the idea and I think it could provide a lot of value. What are your thoughts?
