Breeze is a library for numerical processing, machine learning, and natural language processing. Its primary focus is on being generic, clean, and powerful without sacrificing (much) efficiency. Breeze is the merger of the ScalaNLP and Scalala projects, because one of the original maintainers is unable to continue development. The Scalala parts are largely rewritten.

Breeze

Breeze is a library for numerical processing. It aims to be generic, clean, and powerful without sacrificing (much) efficiency.

The current version is 0.5-SNAPSHOT. The latest release is 0.4.

Note:

Breeze used to have more components, but they are getting sharded out to different libraries. Their new homes are described below:

• breeze-viz: a (barely maintained) visualization library in its own repository. It is available at https://github.com/scalanlp/breeze-viz.
• breeze-learn (machine learning) is now in Nak.
• breeze-process (natural language processing) has become Chalk.

Build

This project can be built with sbt 0.12.3

SBT

For SBT, Add these lines to your SBT project definition:

• For SBT versions 0.10.x or later

libraryDependencies  ++= Seq(
            // other dependencies here
            // pick and choose:
            "org.scalanlp" % "breeze_2.10" % "0.5-SNAPSHOT",
            // in a different repository now (github.com/scalanlp/breeze-viz)
            "org.scalanlp" % "breeze-viz_2.10" % "0.5-SNAPSHOT",

            "Sonatype Releases" at "https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/releases/"
)

// Scala 2.9.2 is still supported for 0.2.1, but is dropped afterwards.
scalaVersion := "2.10.3"
