Current Environment

A knowledge base of data science and machine learning tools and algorithms written in Haskell that either already exist or we would like to exist.

Note: some libraries are mentioned more than once, because they provide functionality that covers a few areas, however for clarity the links and project descriptions are only given at their first occurrence.

Visualization

  • Chart Hackage Chart : A library for generating 2D Charts and Plots, with backends provided by Cairo (http://hackage.haskell.org/package/Chart-cairo) and Diagrams (http://hackage.haskell.org/package/Chart-diagrams). Documentation: https://github.com/timbod7/haskell-chart/wiki.
  • plotlyhs Hackage plotlyhs : This is a library for generating JSON value to use with the Plotly.js library. The interface directly reflects the structure of the Plotly.js library and is therefore quite low-level. Lenses are used throughout to set Maybe fields in records to provide both data and configuration options. This library does not attempt to communicate with the Plotly API in any other way. All generated plots can be hosted on stand-alone web pages.
  • plots Hackage plots: Diagrams-based plotting library.
  • hvega Hackage hvega: Create Vega-Lite visualizations in Haskell, targeting version 3 of the vega-lite specification. This library follows closely the naming conventions of vega-lite, and offers an extensive tutorial.

Publication

  • knit Hackage knit: knit-haskell is a beginning attempt at bringing some of the benefits of Rmarkdown to Haskell. Various helper functions are provided to simplify common operations, making it especially straightforward to build an HTML document from bits of markdown, latex and Lucid or Blaze html. Support is also included for including hvega visualizations.
  • pandoc-pyplot Hackage pandoc-pyplot: A Pandoc filter to include figures generated from Python code blocks. Keep the document and Python code in the same location. Output from Matplotlib is captured and included as a figure.
  • inliterate Hackage knit: inliterate is a GHC preprocessor which transforms a markdown document into a Haskell program, which, when run, prints to stdout the input document in HTML format. Certain code blocks with special annotations can be treated in particular ways: as Haskell code that must be included in the generating program (at the top level or in a do block) and as code that must be evaluated with the results inserted into the HTML document. For an example document, see https://github.com/diffusionkinetics/open/blob/master/plotlyhs/gendoc/GenDocInlit.hs which compiles into https://glutamate.github.io/plotlyhs/.

Data structures

Data frames

  • Frames Hackage Frames : User-friendly, type safe, runtime efficient tooling for working with tabular data deserialized from comma-separated values (CSV) files. The type of each row of data is inferred from data, which can then be streamed from disk, or worked with in memory. Also see the comprehensive tutorial
  • Frames-map-reduce Hackage Frames-map-reduce : This library contains some useful functions for using the map-reduce-folds package with Frames (containers of data rows) from the Frames package. Included, in Frames.MapReduce, are helpers for filtering Frames, splitting records into key and data columns and reattaching key columns after reducing. Also included, in the Frames.Folds module, are some helpful functions for building folds of Frames from folds over each column, specified either individually or via a constraint on all the columns being folded over.
  • analyze Hackage analyze : pandas-like dataframe operations for tabular data with CSV interface. Currently maintained within the scope of the DataHaskell dh-core project.
  • bookkeeper Hackage bookkeeper : A new take on datatypes and records using OverloadedLabels (which is available since GHC 8). It bears some similarities to Nikita Volkov’s record library, but requires no Template Haskell.
  • colonnade Hackage colonnade : The colonnade package provides a way to talk about columnar encodings and decodings of data. This package provides very general types and does not provide a way for the end-user to actually apply the columnar encodings they build to data. Most users will also want to one a companion packages that provides (1) a content type and (2) functions for feeding data into a columnar encoding:
    • lucid-colonnade for lucid html tables
    • blaze-colonnade for blaze html tables
    • reflex-dom-colonnade for reactive reflex-dom tables
    • yesod-colonnade for yesod widgets
    • siphon for encoding and decoding CSVs

Streaming / Folds

  • map-reduce-folds Hackage map-reduce-folds : map-reduce-folds is an attempt to find a good balance between simplicity, performance, and flexibility for simple map/reduce style operations on a foldable container f of some type x (e.g., [x]). The goal of the package is to provide an efficient fold for the computation via the types in the foldl package. Folds can be composed Applicatively, which makes it simple to do many such operations on the same data and loop over it only once.

Arrays

  • vector Hackage vector : An efficient implementation of Int-indexed arrays (both mutable and immutable), with a powerful loop optimisation framework.
  • contiguous Hackage contiguous : This package provides a typeclass Contiguous that offers a unified interface to working with Array, SmallArray, PrimArray, and UnliftedArray.

    Multidimensional arrays

  • accelerate Hackage accelerate : Data.Array.Accelerate defines an embedded array language for computations for high-performance computing in Haskell. Computations on multi-dimensional, regular arrays are expressed in the form of parameterised collective operations, such as maps, reductions, and permutations. These computations may then be online compiled and executed on a range of architectures.
  • repa Hackage repa : Repa provides high performance, regular, multi-dimensional, shape polymorphic parallel arrays. All numeric data is stored unboxed.
  • massiv Hackage massiv : Repa-style high-performance multi-dimentional arrays with nested parallelism and stencil computation capabilities.

  • labels Hackage labels : Declare and access tuple fields with labels. An approach to anonymous records.
  • superrecord Hackage superrecord Supercharged anonymous records. Introductory blogpost, with case study using ReaderT.

Graphs

  • algebraic-graphs Hackage algebraic-graphs : algebraic-graphs (a.k.a. alga) is a library for algebraic construction and manipulation of graphs in Haskell. See this paper for the motivation behind the library, the underlying theory and implementation details. The top-level module Algebra.Graph defines the core data type Graph, which is a deep embedding of four graph construction primitives empty, vertex, overlay and connect. To represent non-empty graphs, see Algebra.Graph.NonEmpty. More conventional graph representations can be found in Algebra.Graph.AdjacencyMap and Algebra.Graph.Relation. The type classes defined in Algebra.Graph.Class and Algebra.Graph.HigherKinded.Class can be used for polymorphic graph construction and manipulation. Also see Algebra.Graph.Fold that defines the Boehm-Berarducci encoding of algebraic graphs and provides additional flexibility for polymorphic graph manipulation.
  • fgl Hackage fgl : An inductive representation of manipulating graph data structures. Original website can be found at http://web.engr.oregonstate.edu/~erwig/fgl/haskell.
  • graphite Hackage graphite : Represent, analyze and visualize graphs & networks. A beginner friendly tutorial can be found at https://haskell-graphite.readthedocs.io/en/latest/.

Trees

  • tree-traversals Hackage tree-traversals : The tree-traversals package defines in-order, pre-order, post-order, level-order, and reversed level-order traversals for tree-like types, and it also provides newtype wrappers for the various traversals so they may be used with traverse.

Database interfaces

  • beam Homepage Hackage beam-core : Beam is a highly-general library for accessing any kind of database with Haskell. It supports several backends. beam-postgres and beam-sqlite are included in the main beam repository. Others are hosted and maintained independently, such as beam-mysql and beam-firebird. The documentation here shows examples in all known backends. Beam is highly extensible and other backends can be shipped independently without requiring any changes in the core libraries.For information on creating additional SQL backends, see the manual section for more.
  • selda Hackage selda : Selda is a Haskell library for interacting with SQL-based relational databases inspired by LINQ and Opaleye.
  • relational-record Homepage Hackage relational-record : Haskell Relational Record (HRR) is a query generator based on typed relational algebra and correspondence between SQL value lists and Haskell record types, which provide programming interfaces to Relational DataBase Managemsnt Systems (RDBMS).

Numerical linear algebra

  • hmatrix Hackage hmatrix : Bindings to BLAS/LAPACK. Linear solvers, matrix decompositions, and more.
  • dense-linear-algebra Hackage dense-linear-algebra : A collection of linear-algebra related modules, extracted from the statistics library. Matrices and vectors are internally represented with unboxed vectors, and the algorithms rely on in-place mutation for high efficiency. Currently maintained within the scope of the DataHaskell dh-core project.
  • sparse-linear-algebra Hackage sparse-linear-algebra : Native library for sparse algebraic computation. Linear solvers, matrix decompositions and related tools; functional but not optimized for efficiency yet.
  • linearEqSolver Hackage linearEqSolver : Solve linear systems of equations over integers and rationals, using an SMT solver.

Generation of random data

  • mwc-probability Hackage mwc-probability : A simple probability distribution type, where distributions are characterized by sampling functions. Simple and idiomatic interface based on Applicative and Monad instances.
  • random-fu Hackage random-fu : Random number generation based on modeling random variables in two complementary ways: first, by the parameters of standard mathematical distributions and, second, by an abstract type (RVar) which can be composed and manipulated monadically and sampled in either monadic or “pure” styles. The primary purpose of this library is to support defining and sampling a wide variety of high quality random variables. Quality is prioritized over speed, but performance is an important goal too. Very flexible, providing both a concrete (‘Distribution’) and and abstract but composable (‘RVar’) view of random variables.
  • pcg-random Hackage pcg-random : Haskell bindings to the PCG random number generator http://www.pcg-random.org. The api is very similar to mwc-random but the pcg generator appears to be slightly faster. There is also a pure interface via the random libray.

Statistics

  • statistics Hackage statistics : This library provides a number of common functions and types useful in statistics. We focus on high performance, numerical robustness, and use of good algorithms. Where possible, we provide references to the statistical literature. The library’s facilities can be divided into four broad categories:
    • Working with widely used discrete and continuous probability distributions. (There are dozens of exotic distributions in use; we focus on the most common.)
    • Computing with sample data: quantile estimation, kernel density estimation, histograms, bootstrap methods, significance testing, and regression and autocorrelation analysis.
    • Random variate generation under several different distributions.
    • Common statistical tests for significant differences between samples.
  • sampling Hackage Sampling from arbitrary Foldable collections:
    • sample, for sampling without replacement
    • resample, for sampling with replacement (i.e., a bootstrap) Each variation can be prefixed with p to sample from a container of values weighted by probability.
  • foldl-statistics Hackage foldl-statistics : A reimplementation of the Statistics.Sample module using the foldl package. The intention of this package is to allow these algorithms to be used on a much broader set of data input types, including lists and streaming libraries such as conduit and pipes, and any other type which is Foldable. All statistics in this package can be computed with no more than two passes over the data - once to compute the mean and once to compute any statistics which require the mean.
  • tdigest Hackage tdigest : A new data structure for accurate on-line accumulation of rank-based statistics such as quantiles and trimmed means.
  • histogram-fill Hackage histogram-fill : A convenient way to create and fill histograms. It supports fixed- and variable-size bins, missing data and 2D binning.
  • uncertain Hackage uncertain : Provides tools to manipulate numbers with inherent experimental/measurement uncertainty, and propagates them through functions.
  • measurable Hackage measurable : Construct measures from samples, mass/density functions, or even sampling functions. Construct image measures by fmap-ing measurable functions over them, or create new measures from existing ones by measure convolution and friends provided by a simple Num instance enabled by an Applicative instance. Create measures from graphs of other measures using the Monad instance and do-notation. Query measures by integrating meaurable functions against them. Extract moments, cumulative density functions, or probabilities. Caveat: while fun to play with, and rewarding to see how measures fit together, measure operations as nested integrals are exponentially complex. Don’t expect them to scale very far!

Integration

  • Markov Chain Monte Carlo
    • declarative Hackage declarative : A simple combinator language for Markov transition operators that are useful in MCMC.
    • flat-mcmc Hackage flat-mcmc : flat-mcmc uses an ensemble sampler that is invariant to affine transformations of space. It wanders a target probability distribution’s parameter space as if it had been “flattened” or “unstretched” in some sense, allowing many particles to explore it locally and in parallel. In general this sampler is useful when you want decent performance without dealing with any tuning parameters or local proposal distributions.
  • Dynamical systems
    • numeric-ode Hackage numeric-ode : Small project for different ODE solvers, in particular symplectic solvers. This is very experimental and will change. The Störmer-Verlet generates a correct orbit for Jupiter but no guarantees are given for any of the other methods.

Differentiation

  • Automatic differentiation
    • ad Hackage ad : Automatic differentiation to arbitrary order, applicable to data provided in any Traversable container.
    • backprop Hackage backprop : Automatic heterogeneous back-propagation. Write your functions to compute your result, and the library will automatically generate functions to compute your gradient. Differs from ad by offering full heterogeneity – each intermediate step and the resulting value can have different types. Mostly intended for usage with gradient descent and other numeric optimization techniques. Introductory blogpost here.

Optimization

  • Kalman filtering
    • estimator Hackage estimator : The goal of this library is to simplify implementation and use of state-space estimation algorithms, such as Kalman Filters. The interface for constructing models is isolated as much as possible from the specifics of a given algorithm, so swapping out a Kalman Filter for a Bayesian Particle Filter should involve a minimum of effort. This implementation is designed to support symbolic types, such as from sbv or ivory. As a result you can generate code in another language, such as C, from a model written using this package; or run static analyses on your model.
