A simple and functional machine learning library for Erlang, Elixir, and Gleam projects.
Emel is a machine learning library for the Erlang ecosystem that implements various ML algorithms using functional programming principles. It allows developers to create classifiers and predictors that transform data into functions, making ML accessible within BEAM-based languages like Erlang, Elixir, and Gleam.
Erlang, Elixir, and Gleam developers who need to incorporate machine learning algorithms into their applications while staying within the BEAM ecosystem.
Emel provides a simple, functional approach to machine learning specifically designed for BEAM languages, eliminating the need to bridge to other ecosystems while offering essential ML algorithms with clean APIs.

Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Supports linear regression, k-nearest neighbors, decision trees, naive Bayes, k-means, perceptron, logistic regression, and neural networks, as listed in the README, covering essential ML tasks for BEAM languages.
Works seamlessly with Erlang, Elixir, and Gleam projects, with clear installation instructions and examples for each language, reducing ecosystem friction.
Implements ML algorithms by turning data into functions, aligning with BEAM language philosophies and enabling clean, composable code, as demonstrated in the examples.
Provides algebra, geometry, and statistics modules to support ML operations, detailed in the documentation links, aiding in custom implementations.
Focuses on basic algorithms without support for advanced techniques like deep learning, ensemble methods, or GPU optimization, restricting use in complex ML scenarios.
The README notes that Erlang and Elixir developers should refer to Erlang examples, which may hinder usability for those unfamiliar with Erlang syntax or preferring language-specific guides.
No mention of optimizations for large datasets, distributed computing, or performance benchmarks, making it less suitable for high-throughput or data-intensive applications.
