About: pycobra is a python library for ensemble learning, which serves as a toolkit for regression, classification, and visualisation. It is scikit-learn compatible and fits into the existing scikit-learn ecosystem.

pycobra is further pep8 compliant, has improved tests and more plotting options.

About: Code for Calibrated AdaMEC for binary cost-sensitive classification. The method is just AdaBoost that properly calibrates its probability estimates and uses a cost-sensitive (i.e. risk-minimizing) decision threshold to classify new data.

• General:
  • Upgraded MTJ to 1.0.3.
• Common:
  • Added package for hash function computation including Eva, FNV-1a, MD5, Murmur2, Prime, SHA1, SHA2
  • Added callback-based forEach implementations to Vector and InfiniteVector, which can be faster for iterating through some vector types.
  • Optimized DenseVector by removing a layer of indirection.
  • Added method to compute set of percentiles in UnivariateStatisticsUtil and fixed issue with percentile interpolation.
  • Added utility class for enumerating combinations.
  • Adjusted ScalarMap implementation hierarchy.
  • Added method for copying a map to VectorFactory and moved createVectorCapacity up from SparseVectorFactory.
  • Added method for creating square identity matrix to MatrixFactory.
  • Added Random implementation that uses a cached set of values.
• Learning:
  • Implemented feature hashing.
  • Added factory for random forests.
  • Implemented uniform distribution over integer values.
  • Added Chi-squared similarity.
  • Added KL divergence.
  • Added general conditional probability distribution.
  • Added interfaces for Regression, UnivariateRegression, and MultivariateRegression.
  • Fixed null pointer exception that can happen in K-means with an empty cluster.
  • Fixed name of maxClusters property on AgglomerativeClusterer (was called maxMinDistance).
• Text:
  • Improvements to LDA Gibbs sampler.
