Project Definition ![travis](https://travis-ci.org/AlvarBer/Persimmon.svg?branch=master) | ||
================== | ||
Persimmon ![travis](https://travis-ci.org/AlvarBer/Persimmon.svg?branch=master) | ||
=================== | ||
|
||
Problem | ||
------- | ||
Machine Learning is a multi-disciplinary subject. Because of this learners come from a variety of backgrounds, | ||
and the mastering process can be though, specially when some of these backgrounds don't have strong programming foundations. | ||
![Final aspect](docs/images/final_aspect.png) | ||

What is it? | ||
----------- | ||
Persimmon is a visual dataflow language for creating sklearn pipelines. | ||
|
||
Approaches | ||
--------- | ||
A visual interface for programming could help easing the steep learning curve, focusing on the methods, the intuition and | ||
their connections instead on the technicals details of the underlying library. | ||
It represents functions as blocks, inputs and outputs are presented as pins, | ||
and type safety is enforced when the connection is being made. | ||
|
||
Possible Outcomes | ||
----------------- | ||
* Greater engagement than traditional coding | ||
* Similar engagement than traditional coding | ||
* Less engagement than traditional coding | ||
![Type safety](docs/images/type_safety.gif) | ||
|
||
Each of these outcomes can occur for the same project based on the user background. | ||
|
||
Experimentation | ||
How to install? | ||
--------------- | ||
The ideal experimentation would include trials with subjects from the following backgrounds | ||
* Statistics | ||
* Mahematics | ||
* Physics/Engineering | ||
* CS | ||
* Others (Business, etc...) | ||
|
||
Trials would be based on | ||
* A/B Testing based on different interfaces paradigms (Including no visual interface at all) | ||
* Focus groups with iterative feedback that can influence development | ||
If you have pip (Python 3.5+) you can simply type | ||
|
||
`$> pip install persimmon` | ||
|
||
For windows self-contained executables can be found on the [releases page]. | ||
