About
A machine learning package for Rust.
For full usage details, see the API documentation.
Introduction
This crate contains reasonably effective implementations of a number of common machine learning algorithms.
At the moment, rustlearn uses its own basic dense and sparse array types, but I will be happy
to use something more robust once a clear winner in that space emerges.
Features
Matrix primitives
Models
- logistic regression using stochastic gradient descent,
- support vector machines using the
libsvmlibrary, - decision trees using the CART algorithm,
- random forests using CART decision trees, and
- factorization machines.
All the models support fitting and prediction on both dense and sparse data, and the implementations
should be roughly competitive with Python sklearn implementations, both in accuracy and performance.
Cross-validation
Metrics
Parallelization
A number of models support both parallel model fitting and prediction.
Model serialization
Model serialization is supported via serde.
Using rustlearn
Usage should be straightforward.
Read the full README
- import the prelude for all the linear algebra primitives and common traits:
use rustlearn::prelude::*;
- import individual models and utilities from submodules:
use rustlearn::prelude::*;
use rustlearn::linear_models::sgdclassifier::Hyperparameters;
// more imports
Examples
Logistic regression
use rustlearn::prelude::*;
use rustlearn::datasets::iris;
use rustlearn::cross_validation::CrossValidation;
use rustlearn::linear_models::sgdclassifier::Hyperparameters;
use rustlearn::metrics::accuracy_score;
let (X, y) = iris::load_data();
let num_splits = 10;
let num_epochs = 5;
let mut accuracy = 0.0;
for (train_idx, test_idx) in CrossValidation::new(X.rows(), num_splits) {
let X_train = X.get_rows(&train_idx);
let y_train = y.get_rows(&train_idx);
let X_test = X.get_rows(&test_idx);
let y_test = y.get_rows(&test_idx);
let mut model = Hyperparameters::new(X.cols())
.learning_rate(0.5)
.l2_penalty(0.0)
.l1_penalty(0.0)
.one_vs_rest();
for _ in 0..num_epochs {
model.fit(&X_train, &y_train).unwrap();
}
let prediction = model.predict(&X_test).unwrap();
accuracy += accuracy_score(&y_test, &prediction);
}
accuracy /= num_splits as f32;
Random forest
use rustlearn::prelude::*;
use rustlearn::ensemble::random_forest::Hyperparameters;
use rustlearn::datasets::iris;
use rustlearn::trees::decision_tree;
let (data, target) = iris::load_data();
let mut tree_params = decision_tree::Hyperparameters::new(data.cols());
tree_params.min_samples_split(10)
.max_features(4);
let mut model = Hyperparameters::new(tree_params, 10)
.one_vs_rest();
model.fit(&data, &target).unwrap();
// Optionally serialize and deserialize the model
// let encoded = bincode::serialize(&model).unwrap();
// let decoded: OneVsRestWrapper<RandomForest> = bincode::deserialize(&encoded).unwrap();
let prediction = model.predict(&data).unwrap();

Pull requests are welcome.
To run basic tests, run cargo test.
Running cargo test --features "all_tests" --release runs all tests, including generated and slow tests.
Running cargo bench --features bench (only on the nightly branch) runs benchmarks.

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
- It has 0 active dependents and 0 new dependents in 365 days. Featured needs 11 active dependents or 9 new dependents in 365 days. The repository route reads 647 stars, 55 forks and 6 contributors. It needs 4,539 stars, 434 forks and 79 contributors together.
- The project is dormant and not finished. Dormancy rule
What else the check found
- The last activity is on 21 Jun 2020, 2332 days ago. That reaches the 365 days the rules expect, so the project is dormant. Dormancy rule
- The oldest outside issue waits 2890 days for a reply, past the limit of 270. No maintainer replied in 365 days. Rot signals rule
- The latest release requires the deprecated dependency gcc. RUSTSEC-2025-0121 Rot signals rule
- The project is dormant with 2 rot signals, which reaches the limit of 2. This is dead check 1 of 2, so the entry is not yet archived. Dead rule
Not measured: Latest release fails cargo check.
Check notes
- the repo manifest Cargo.toml declares the crate, and no release commit proves the link
