vectors

Synopsis

Sparse & dense vectors for use in high dimensional vector spaces.

Motivation

Many machine-learning algorithms make use of vectors in high-dimensional vector spaces.

The vectors provides efficient implementations for the following representations:

Getting Started

Add the most recent version of vectors to your dependencies in your project's Cargo.toml.

Then add …

#[macro_use(dense_vec, sparse_vec)]
extern crate vectors;

… to your crate's root file (e.g. lib.rs, main.rs).

Once that's done you're ready to play!

Example

extern crate vectors;

use vectors::Vector;
use vectors::heap::{SparseVector, DenseVector};

fn main() {
  let sparse_1 = SparseVector::from(vec![(0, 0.1), (2, 0.2), (4, 0.3), (6, 0.4)]);
  let sparse_2 = SparseVector::from(vec![(0, 0.2), (3, 0.4), (5, 0.2), (6, 0.6)]);
  let dot = sparse_1.dot(&sparse_2);
  println!("{:?}", dot);

  let dense_1 = DenseVector::from(vec![0.0, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0, 6.0]);
  let dense_2 = DenseVector::from(vec![0.2, 3.0, 0.0, 1.5, 6.0]);
  let dot = dense_1.dot(&dense_2);
  println!("{:?}", dot);
}
