East Data Science
Data science and machine learning platform functions for the East language. Provides optimization, ML models, preprocessing, and explainability.
Quick Start
import { East, FloatType, variant } from "@elaraai/east";
import { MADS } from "@elaraai/east-py-datascience";
// Define objective function
const objective = East.function([MADS.Types.VectorType], FloatType, ($, x) => {
const x0 = $.let(x.get(0n));
const x1 = $.let(x.get(1n));
return $.return(x0.multiply(x0).add(x1.multiply(x1)));
});
// Optimize
const optimize = East.function([], MADS.Types.ResultType, $ => {
const x0 = $.let([0.5, 0.5]);
const bounds = $.let({ lower: [-1.0, -1.0], upper: [1.0, 1.0] });
const config = $.let({
max_bb_eval: variant('some', 100n),
display_degree: variant('some', 0n),
direction_type: variant('none', null),
initial_mesh_size: variant('none', null),
min_mesh_size: variant('none', null),
seed: variant('some', 42n),
});
return $.return(MADS.optimize(objective, x0, bounds, variant('none', null), config));
});

Accessing Types
import { MADS, Optuna, Sklearn, XGBoost, ALNS } from "@elaraai/east-py-datascience";
// Access types via Module.Types.TypeName
MADS.Types.VectorType // ArrayType(FloatType)
MADS.Types.BoundsType // StructType({ lower, upper })
MADS.Types.ResultType // StructType({ x_best, f_best, ... })
Optuna.Types.ParamSpaceType // Parameter definition
Optuna.Types.StudyResultType // Optimization result
ALNS.Types.ConfigType // ALNS configuration
ALNS.Types.ResultType // Result with "S" placeholder for solution type
Sklearn.Types.SplitConfigType // Train/test split config
XGBoost.Types.ModelBlobType // Trained model
Common Patterns
Train and Predict
// 1. Prepare data
const X = $.let([[...], [...], ...]);
const y = $.let([...]);
// 2. Configure and train
const config = $.let({ /* options with variant('some', value) or variant('none', null) */ });
const model = $.let(Module.train(X, y, config));
// 3. Predict
const predictions = $.let(Module.predict(model, X_test));
Optimization
// 1. Define objective function
const objective = East.function([VectorType], FloatType, ($, x) => {
// compute and return objective value
});
// 2. Set bounds and config
const bounds = $.let({ lower: [...], upper: [...] });
const config = $.let({ /* options */ });
// 3. Optimize
const result = $.let(Module.optimize(objective, x0, bounds, config));
// result.x_best, result.f_best
