I wonder if the Decision Tree base estimator could derive from a more general base estimator for Random Forests and just, for example, override a setup method or a constructor? -Original Message- From: Andreas Date: Fri, 20 Jan 2012 22:53:40 To: Reply-To: scikit-learn-general@lists.so

Hi Andy, IIRC MNIST is 6 samples, each with dimension 28x28, so the 2GB limit doesn't seem unreasonable (especially since you don't have all of that at your disposal). Does the dataset fit in mem? Brian -Original Message- From: Andreas Date: Tue, 03 Jan 2012 09:00:47 To: Reply-

Hi Denis, My main motivation is mostly usability. In terms of development though, I've only really worked on decision trees, so my comments are heavily influenced by that experience. Here are the three main reasons why I use scikit-learn: Simplicity (taking the cue from Olivier). If you've s

I would have agreed if I was working on a machine with less memory: the server has 144GB and I'm only using a few percent. -Original Message- From: Peter Prettenhofer Date: Thu, 27 Oct 2011 12:20:40 To: Reply-To: scikit-learn-general@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Scikit-learn-ge

We wrestled with exactly this issue for decision trees, so its clear now that a general solution would be very beneficial to scikit-learn. -Original Message- From: Andreas Mueller Date: Fri, 07 Oct 2011 10:42:17 To: Reply-To: scikit-learn-general@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Sci

If we are going to redeploy the docs, then perhaps we could make a note on the 'work in progress' about Decision Trees, and that ensemble learners are in planning! -Original Message- From: Mathieu Blondel Date: Sat, 24 Sep 2011 14:03:57 To: Reply-To: math...@mblondel.org, scikit-learn

One of the drawcards of using python is that it is relatively platform independent - so windows users have a reasonable expectation that their code will run. Windows itself is not a problem - I've written many C++ programs using boost::thread that work just fine on windows. Perhaps this require
