About
Fwumious Wabbit is
- a very fast machine learning tool
- built with Rust
- inspired by and partially compatible with Vowpal Wabbit (much love! read more about compatibility here)
- currently supports logistic regression and (deep) field-aware factorization machines
Fwumious Wabbit is actively used in Outbrain for offline research, as well as for some production flows. It enables "high bandwidth research" when doing feature engineering, feature selection, hyperparameter tuning, and the like.
Data scientists can train hundreds of models over hundreds of millions of examples in a matter of hours on a single machine.
For our tested scenarios it is almost two orders of magnitude faster than the fastest Tensorflow implementation of Logistic Regression and FFMs that we could come up with. It is an order of magnitude faster than Vowpal Wabbit for some specific use-cases.
Check out our benchmark, here's a teaser:

Why is it faster? (see here for more details)
Read the full README
- Only implements Logistic Regression and (Deep) Field-aware Factorization Machines
- Uses hashing trick, lookup table for AdaGrad and a tight encoding format for the "input cache"
- Features' namespaces have to be declared up-front
- Prefetching of weights from memory (avoiding pipeline stalls)
- Written in Rust with heavy use of code specialization (via macros and traits)
- Special emphasis on efficiency of sparse operations and serving
Weight patching
This repo also contains the patching algorithm that enables very fast weight diff computation see weight_patcher for more details.

Order: strongest tier first, then most downloads, then name, with unmeasured values last. A library counts downloads over 30 days. An app counts binary downloads per release. An app with none counts its crate downloads over 30 days. ML Rust runs this catalogue, so its closest project always gets a row.

Why ListedNo archive, New or Featured rule places it, so it is Listed.
What it lacks for Featured
- The project is dormant and not finished. Dormancy rule
What else the check found
- The last activity is on 4 Jun 2024, 888 days ago. That reaches the 365 days the rules expect, so the project is dormant. Dormancy rule
Not measured: Unpatched vulnerabilities past the grace window, First release.
Exact rules: Listed, Featured app. The check on applied thresholds version 9.
