East Data Science

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";

// Define objective function
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)));
});

// Optimize
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),
        initial_mesh_size: variant('none', null),
        min_mesh_size: variant('none', null),
        seed: variant('some', 42n),
    });
    return $.return(MADS.optimize(objective, x0, bounds, variant('none', null), config));
});

Common Patterns

Train and Predict

// 1. Prepare data
const X = $.let([[...], [...], ...]);
const y = $.let([...]);

// 2. Configure and train
const config = $.let({ /​* options with variant('some', value) or variant('none', null) */ });
const model = $.let(Module.train(X, y, config));

// 3. Predict
const predictions = $.let(Module.predict(model, X_test));

Optimization

// 1. Define objective function
const objective = East.function([VectorType], FloatType, ($, x) => {
    // compute and return objective value
});

// 2. Set bounds and config
const bounds = $.let({ lower: [...], upper: [...] });
const config = $.let({ /​* options */ });

// 3. Optimize
const result = $.let(Module.optimize(objective, x0, bounds, config));
// result.x_best, result.f_best
