Simple machine learning algorithms implemented in python during a class at Winchester High School.

Operating Instructions

Each directory is a separate project.

Artificial neural nets - ann - a form of function approximation learning. The project includes a neural net for optical character recognition.

Genetic algorithms - ga - optimize a given function. The hungarian algorithm - ha - is a specific algorithm to maximally select elements of a matrix. We used it in combination with a genetic algorithm to create mathteam, a program to optimize math team performance.

Hidden markov models - hmm - perform pattern recognition. From an extracted model, the Viterbi algorithm allows prediction of underlying states from observed states.

Decision trees - tree - classify and predict from learned data. We applied the decision tree program to car buyers, the census, congressional voting records, and CPU performance data.
