Whoops missed the previous replies. Rob is right, there is no support for continuous variables in pystruct, and I don't know about off the shelf solvers as this is not my field. On Mar 19, 2014 3:54 PM, "Josh Wasserstein" wrote: > Hi, > > I am a big fan of scikit-learn. I have been using it for t

Hi Josh. Have you looked at opengm (c++ with good Python interface)for inference and pystruct for learning? They focus on discrete problems, though, and so don't contain variational methods. Cheers, Andy On Mar 19, 2014 3:54 PM, "Josh Wasserstein" wrote: > Hi, > > I am a big fan of scikit-learn.

I'm not sure anything pystruct binds to supports continuous variables, but that support is certainly in scope. On Wed, Mar 19, 2014 at 1:53 PM, Josh Wasserstein wrote: > Thanks a lot Vlad. Do you know if OepnGM2 can handle continuous > variables/PDFs? > > Josh > > > > On Wed, Mar 19, 2014 at 11:

Hi John, I believe general inference methods are out of scope for scikit-learn. Even general structured learning algorithms are not in scope at the moment, as it's hard to fit problems in numpy arrays. For learning, you might want to check out pystruct [1]. If you just want inference, opengm

Hi, I am a big fan of scikit-learn. I have been using it for two years now in my Ph.D. and later in industry, and I wanted to say thank the community that makes it possible. I recently started to play with PyMC, which is great. However, I noticed what seems to be a gap in machine learning methods
