About Crossing Minds¶
We are a start-up based in San Francisco & with offices in Paris. We specialize in recommender systems and are currently building a universal recommendation API, allowing anyone to harness the power of recommendations.
Along the way, we developed some useful and efficient tools for general Machine Learning and optimisation, for recommender systems specifically, and some tools for data wrangling. We believe these tools should be for anyone to use, so please feel free to use this library for any of your Machine Learning and data manipulation needs.
Please visit our website if you want to learn more!
Getting started¶
Requires Python >= 3.6 to function properly.
Installing the package¶
Using pip:
pip install xminds
Not supported on Conda yet.
Using the library¶
The library currently requires using exact paths, so to use xminds.lib.arrays.to_structured the recommended way is currently:
from xminds.lib.arrays import to_structured
arr = to_structured([
('a', numpy.arange(5)),
('b', numpy.ones(5))
])
Our next release will allow the following pattern:
import xminds # not supported in current release
arr = xminds.to_structured([ # not supported in current release
('a', numpy.arange(5)),
('b', numpy.ones(5))
])
Documentation¶
This website is the documentation for the Python library and the Python client of the API.
For our universal recommendation API’s documentation, see: API Documentation.
