| name | east-py-datascience |
| description | Data science and machine learning platform functions for the East language (TypeScript types). Use when writing East programs that need optimization (MADS, Optuna, SimAnneal, Scipy), machine learning (XGBoost, LightGBM, NGBoost, Torch MLP, Lightning, GP), ML utilities (Sklearn preprocessing, metrics, splits), conformal prediction (MAPIE), or model explainability (SHAP). Triggers for: (1) Writing East programs with @elaraai/east-py-datascience, (2) Derivative-free optimization with MADS, (3) Bayesian optimization with Optuna, (4) Discrete/combinatorial optimization with SimAnneal, (5) Gradient boosting with XGBoost or LightGBM, (6) Probabilistic predictions with NGBoost or GP, (7) Neural networks with Torch MLP or Lightning, (8) Data preprocessing and metrics with Sklearn, (9) Conformal prediction intervals with MAPIE, (10) Model explainability with Shap. |
East Data Science
Data science and machine learning platform functions for the East language. Provides optimization, ML models, preprocessing, and explainability.
Quick Start
import { East, FloatType, variant } from "@elaraai/east";
import { MADS } from "@elaraai/east-py-datascience";
const objective = East.function([MADS.Types.VectorType], FloatType, ($, x) => {
const x0 = $.let(x.get(0n));
const x1 = $.let(x.get(1n));
return $.return(x0.multiply(x0).add(x1.multiply(x1)));
});
const optimize = East.function([], MADS.Types.ResultType, $ => {
const x0 = $.let([0.5, 0.5]);
const bounds = $.let({ lower: [-1.0, -1.0], upper: [1.0, 1.0] });
const config = $.let({
max_bb_eval: variant('some', 100n),
display_degree: variant('some', 0n),
direction_type: variant('none', null),
