Google Summer of Code Final Work Report


Name: Yash Lamba
Organisation: Python Software Foundation
Sub-Organisation: DFFML
Project: Adding Machine Learning Models to DFFML
Proposal: https://blogs.python-gsoc.org/media/proposals/GSoC_Proposal_for_PSF__DFFML2.pdf

Aim

Adding new machine learning models to DFFML, the proposed models are given below:

Model 1: Ordinary Least Square Regression (OLSR)
Model 2: Logistic Regression
Model 3: k-Nearest Neighbour (kNN)
Model 4: Naive Bayes

Finalized To-dos and Modifications

During the community bonding period, the proposed work was modified to achieve optimized result from the summer. The finalized work was:

Adding Linear Regression Model from scratch
Adding Linear Regression and other proposed models using scikit-learn
Adding tests for the added models
Documenting the models

Tasks Achieved


Added Linear Regression model from scratch with tests
Simple Linear Regression model implemented from scratch. This was successfully completed with tests and documentation, and was also releasd on PyPI.

Added scikit models with dynamic support
Initially, it was planned to add certain number of models from scikit but as I did it with one model (Multiple Linear Regression with scikit), we decided to extend this and make a base for all scikit models and make other model classes dynamic. This was successful and now adding scikit models to DFFML is as easy as appending the model name to a python dictionary. The tests are complete and the documentation material is ready but we are still figuring out a more understandable way of documenting this before release.

Future Work

The project was started just before GSoC'19 and it has come a long way since. I plan on contributing significantly to the project after GSoC'19. Few of the planned stuff:

Adding more scikit models
Working on more machine learning libraries and add models
Contruct DFFML Web UI from scratch which was conceptualized during summer
and much more.


I would like to thank my mentor John Andersen to be such an amazing and incredibly patient mentor throughout summer. His guidance is the reason why this project was successfully completed.
Thank you to Python Software Foundation to provide this opportuninty.
