- Raven is an OCaml ecosystem for machine learning and data science, aiming to match Python's efficiency while leveraging OCaml's type safety and performance.
- Currently in pre-alpha, Raven seeks user feedback on its sub-projects: Ndarray (feature-complete for alpha), Rune (proof-of-concept), and Quill (early prototyping).
- Key components include Ndarray (core numerical computation), Ndarray-CV (computer vision), Ndarray-IO (data formats), Ndarray-Datasets (datasets), Quill (notebooks), Hugin (visualization), and Rune (automatic differentiation).
- Raven compares its tools to Python's ecosystem (e.g., Ndarray vs. NumPy, Hugin vs. Matplotlib/Seaborn, Quill vs. Jupyter).
- Future plans include expanding the ecosystem with more libraries, though some areas (like deep learning) are not yet covered.
- Contributions are welcome from OCaml experts, data scientists, or anyone interested, with guidelines in CONTRIBUTING.md.
- Raven is licensed under the ISC License, free for personal and commercial use.
