Installation of libraries

pip install -r requirements.txt

NOTE: scikit-learn module is used only for accessing the datasets.

Usage

NOTE: All scripts have additional command arguments that can be given by the user.

python run_{algorithmToRun}.py --help

Summary

This project was initially started to help understand the math and intuition behind different ML algorithms, and why they work or don't work, for a given dataset. I started it with just implementing different versions of gradient descent for Linear Regression. I also wanted to visualize the training process, to get a better intuition of what exactly happens during the training process. Over the course of time, more algorithms and visualizations have been added.
