# Introduction

**neonrvm** is an open source machine learning library for performing regression

tasks using [RVM] technique. It is written in C programming language and comes

with bindings for the Python programming language.

neonrvm was born during my master's thesis to help reduce training times and

required system resources. neonrvm did that by getting rid of multiple

middleware layers and optimizing memory usage.

Under the hood neonrvm uses expectation maximization fitting method, and allows

basis functions to be fed incrementally to the model. This helps to keep

training times and memory requirements significantly lower for large data sets.

neonrvm is not trying to be a full featured machine learning framework, and only

provides core training and prediction facilities. You might want to use it in

conjunction with higher level scientific programming languages and machine

learning tool kits instead.

RVM technique is very sensitive to input data representation and kernel

selection. You might consider something else if you are looking for a less

challenging solution.
