You can use the libraries through Maven central repository by adding the following to your project pom.xml file.
<dependency>
<groupId>com.github.haifengl</groupId>
<artifactId>smile-core</artifactId>
<version>2.5.3</version>
</dependency>
For NLP, use the artifactId smile-nlp.
For Scala API, please use
libraryDependencies += "com.github.haifengl" %% "smile-scala" % "2.5.3"
For Kotlin API, add the below into the dependencies section
of Gradle build script.
implementation("com.github.haifengl:smile-kotlin:2.5.3")
For Clojure API, add the following dependency to your project or build file:
[org.clojars.haifengl/smile "2.5.3"]
Some algorithms rely on BLAS and LAPACK (e.g. manifold learning, some clustering algorithms, Gaussian Process regression, MLP, etc). To use these algorithms, you should include OpenBLAS for optimized matrix computation:
libraryDependencies ++= Seq(
"org.bytedeco" % "javacpp" % "1.5.4" classifier "macosx-x86_64" classifier "windows-x86_64" classifier "linux-x86_64" classifier "linux-arm64" classifier "linux-ppc64le" classifier "android-arm64" classifier "ios-arm64",
"org.bytedeco" % "openblas" % "0.3.10-1.5.4" classifier "macosx-x86_64" classifier "windows-x86_64" classifier "linux-x86_64" classifier "linux-arm64" classifier "linux-ppc64le" classifier "android-arm64" classifier "ios-arm64",
"org.bytedeco" % "arpack-ng" % "3.7.0-1.5.4" classifier "macosx-x86_64" classifier "windows-x86_64" classifier "linux-x86_64" classifier "linux-arm64" classifier "linux-ppc64le" classifier ""
)
In this example, we include all supported 64-bit platforms and filter out
32-bit platforms. The user should include only the needed platforms to save
spaces. NOTE: Do NOT miss classifier "" of arpack-ng.
If you prefer other BLAS implementations, you can use any library found on
the "java.library.path" or on the class path, by specifying it with the
"org.bytedeco.openblas.load" system property. For example, to use the BLAS
library from the Accelerate framework on Mac OS X, we can pass options such
as -Djava.library.path=/usr/lib/ -Dorg.bytedeco.openblas.load=blas.
For a default installation of MKL that would be -Dorg.bytedeco.openblas.load=mkl_rt.
Or you may simply include smile-mkl module in your project, which includes
MKL binaries. With smile-mkl module in the class path, Smile will
automatically switch to MKL.
libraryDependencies += "com.github.haifengl" %% "smile-mkl" % "2.5.3"
Smile comes with interactive shells for Java, Scala and Kotlin. Download pre-packaged Smile from the releases page. In the home directory of Smile, type
./bin/smile
to enter the Scala shell. You can run any valid Scala expressions
in the shell. In the simplest case, you can use it as a calculator.
Besides, all high-level Smile operators are predefined in the shell.
By default, the shell uses up to 75% memory. If you need more memory
to handle large data, use the option -J-Xmx or -XX:MaxRAMPercentage.
For example,
./bin/smile -J-Xmx30G
You can also modify the configuration file ./conf/smile.ini for the
memory and other JVM settings.
To use Java's JShell, type
./bin/jshell.sh
which has Smile's jars in the classpath. Similarly, run
./bin/kotlin.sh
to enter Kotlin REPL.
Most models support the Java Serializable interface (all classifiers
do support Serializable interface) so that you can use them in Spark.
For reading/writing the models in non-Java code, we suggest [XStream]
(https://github.com/x-stream/xstream) to serialize the trained models.
XStream is a simple library to serialize objects to XML and back again.
XStream is easy to use and doesn't require mappings (actually requires
no modifications to objects). Protostuff
is a nice alternative that supports forward-backward compatibility
(schema evolution) and validation. Beyond XML, Protostuff supports many
other formats such as JSON, YAML, protobuf, etc.
Smile provides a Swing-based data visualization library SmilePlot, which provides scatter plot, line plot, staircase plot, bar plot, box plot, histogram, 3D histogram, dendrogram, heatmap, hexmap, QQ plot, contour plot, surface, and wireframe.
To use SmilePlot, add the following to dependencies
<dependency>
<groupId>com.github.haifengl</groupId>
<artifactId>smile-plot</artifactId>
<version>2.5.3</version>
</dependency>
Smile also support data visualization in declarative approach.
With smile.plot.vega package, we can create a specification
that describes visualizations as mappings from data to properties
of graphical marks (e.g., points or bars). The specification is
based on Vega-Lite. The
Vega-Lite compiler automatically produces visualization components
including axes, legends, and scales. It then determines properties
of these components based on a set of carefully designed rules.
