Perceptron by scikit-learn

Overview

I sometimes use Perceptron, one of the machine learning algorithms, as practice of algorithm writing from scratch.

But in many cases, it is highly recommended to use machine learning library. Although there are not many cases in practice that we use Perceptron, it is not wasted to know how to write Perceptron by the library, concretely scikit-learn.

On this article, I’ll show how to write Perceptron by scikit-learn.

Perceptron by Golang from scratch

Overview

I tried perceptron, almost “Hello world” in machine learning, by Golang.
Go has matrix calculation library like numpy on Python. But this time I just used default types.

Usually on machine leaning, R and Python are frequently used and almost all from-scratch code of machine learning is shown by those or by C++. So I just tried this “Hello world”.

Perceptron from scratch

Overview

There are good libraries to make machine learning model and usually, it’s enough to use those to attain the goal you set on the model.

It’s not necessary to write algorithm by yourself. To say precisely, to write and use your full-scratch written model makes more bugs than prevalent library’s one. So you should use prevalent libraries except for the time that those don’t fulfill what you want to get.

But to deepen your understandings and knowledge to machine leaning, writing existing algorithm by yourself is very good trial.
Here, I show how to write perceptron algorithm.
