Awesome Machine Learning and Elixir

A curated list of Machine Learning packages and resources for the Elixir programming language.

Besides giving an overview for experienced Elixir developers, this list can be useful for ML people looking for other ecosystems.

Contents

• Computer Vision
• General-Purpose Machine Learning
• Data Analysis / Data Visualization
• Livebooks / Codebases
• Neural Networks
• Resources

Computer Vision

• Evision - OpenCV bindings for Elixir/Erlang.

General-Purpose Machine Learning

• Scholar - Traditional machine learning tools built on top of Nx. Scholar implements several algorithms for classification, regression, clustering, dimensionality reduction, metrics, and preprocessing.
• EXGBoost - Decision Trees implemented using the XGBoost C API.
• Mockinjay - Implementation of Microsoft's Hummingbird library for converting trained Decision Tree models into Nx tensor computations.
• Ulam - Elixir interface to Stan, a probabilist programming language.

Data Analysis / Data Visualization

• Nx - Tensors for Elixir with compilation to CPU/GPU. It is the base for a lot of other libraries.
• Livebook - Write interactive and collaborative notebooks, with integrations to databases, messaging, visualization and more.
• Explorer - Series and dataframes for data exploration in Elixir.
• Kino - Render rich and interactive output. Used in Livebook.
• NxImage - Image processing in Nx.

Livebooks / Codebases

• José Valim's Livebooks - Livebooks that José used for talks and Advent of Code.
• Programming Machine Learning - Livebook notebooks with code examples for the Programming Machine Learning book by Paolo Perrotta
• Machine Learning in Elixir - Livebooks following along with the book Machine Learning in Elixir by Sean Moriarity
• Asynchoronous Processing in Elixir - Interactive guide using Livebook to asynchronous data processing in Elixir.

Neural Networks

• Axon - Neural Networks for Elixir. Built with Nx.
• Bumblebee - Pre-trained neural network models on top of Axon. Provides integration with Hugging Face.
• Ortex - Wrapper around ONNX. Enables you to run ONNX models using Nx.
• Honeycomb - Fast LLM inference built on Elixir, Bumblebee, and EXLA.
