# Awesome Machine Learning with Ruby [][ruby]



> Curated List of Ruby Machine Learning Links and Resources



[Machine Learning][ml] is a field of [Computational Science][cs] -

often nested under [AI][ai] research - with many practical

applications due to the ability of resulting algorithms to

systematically implement a specific solution without explicit

programmer's instructions. Obviously many algorithms need a definition

of [features][fe] to look at or a biggish [training set][ts] of data to derive the

solution from.



This curated list comprises [_awesome_][awesome] libraries,

data sources, tutorials and presentations about [Machine Learning][ml]

utilizing the [Ruby][ruby] programming language.



A lot of useful resources on this list come from the development by

[The Ruby Science Foundation][sciruby], our [contributors][contributors] and

our own day to day work on various ML applications.



:sparkles: Every [contribution](contributing.md) is welcome! Add links through pull

requests or create an issue to start a discussion.
