Question

< altavir> I think it will be interesting for you

altavir · Answer

We had a long discussion with < roman belov> about it on Kotlinconf There are some problems with numpy integration and it is not clear if we really want it because of some bad architectural decissions about it It is a good project from the point of view of Python to kotlin migration but I am not sure that it should be used inside kotlin ecosystem

altavir · Answer

I think we should discussit more

thomasnield · Answer

I m actually fond of what < altavir> did with kmath Yeah I m sure it needs to be scaled and hashed out to be a global library but I think the concept itself is quite solid

thomasnield · Answer

Sorry my engagement has been sparse My time is getting dominated by two apps I m building and trying to bring to market some O Reilly projects stuck with Python and teaching some classes at University of Southern California next year

thomasnield · Answer

One of the apps on the back burner NEEDS a linear algebra system though I have a patent on the idea but it s going to require significant investment to build and I m planning on making it in Kotlin Hoping WebAssembly matures enough too so it can be web based

altavir · Answer

kmath is about API not about performance but I think what we now have in kmath shows that it is possible to add kmath bindings to high performant libraries without sacrificing performance Last addition is Viktor <https github com mipt npm kmath tree dev kmath viktor> The problem with numpy is that at actually requires python interpreter to run and it will be very hard to make stable and reproducable bindings

altavir · Answer

< thomasnield> kmath is multiplatform and it is possible to use it for linear algebra My tests for my multiplatform implementations show that they are slower than specialized libraries but not order of magnitude slower I am sure I can add whatever you need quite fast if you could formulate what you actually need Core linear algebra is alteady there

thomasnield · Answer

< altavir> That s what I was insinuating I may be helping contribute to it later

altavir · Answer

I have a team to work on it The main contribution would be to state what do you actually need slightly smiling face I do not use linear algebra much so it hard for me to understand

thomasnield · Answer

< altavir> oh yeah I forgot you had resources Neat Thanks I will keep that in mind I have some Markov Bayesian stuff I m playing with early next year so I ll let you know

altavir · Answer

We will start on SImBa Simulation with Bayesian tools next year so some tools will be complimentary I hope I also want to create bridge for rather powerful <https github com bat BAT jl>

thomasnield · Answer

I need to still get Kotlin Statistics multplatform which I believe you started and using kmath

altavir · Answer

We need to check but I believe I ve finished the multiplatform completion did I forget to create a pull request

thomasnield · Answer

< altavir> you did put in the interfaces if I recall but I need to look at the implementations too

altavir · Answer

altavir · Answer

It should be working If not I will remedy that ASAP

thomasnield · Answer

Oh you put in a PR

thomasnield · Answer

I did not realize there was a PR I missed that

altavir · Answer

It is in a separate branch

thomasnield · Answer

Haha I was getting married at the time so that might be why I missed it Sorry about that I will download and build this week

altavir · Answer

Getting married is more important I can tell you

altavir · Answer

did it properly only the second time

thomasnield · Answer

Thanks again for doing this that s huge
