Clustering

linfa-clustering aims to provide pure Rust implementations of popular clustering algorithms.

The big picture

linfa-clustering is a crate in the linfa ecosystem, an effort to create a toolkit for classical Machine Learning implemented in pure Rust, akin to Python's scikit-learn.

You can find a roadmap (and a selection of good first issues) here - contributors are more than welcome!

Current state

linfa-clustering currently provides implementation of the following clustering algorithms, in addition to a couple of helper functions:

• K-Means

• DBSCAN

• Approximated DBSCAN (Currently an alias for DBSCAN, due to its superior performance)

• Gaussian Mixture Model

Implementation choices, algorithmic details and a tutorial can be found here.

BLAS/Lapack backend

We found that the pure Rust implementation maintained similar performance to the BLAS/LAPACK version and have removed it with this PR. Thus, to reduce code complexity BLAS support has been removed for this module.
