Linear algebra #
In a few words, linear algebra is a branch of mathematics that is working with vectors and matrices.
Let's give a simple definition of Vector and Matrix. Vector is an ordered set of numbers representing a point in the space where the vector is directed from the origin. Matrix is a collection of vectors that is used to map vectors from one space to another.
Vectors and matrices are extremely powerful tools which can be used in real-life applications, such as machine learning algorithms. There are many implementations of these great mathematical entities in a plenty of programming languages, and as Dart offers developers good instrumentarium, e.g. highly optimized virtual machine and rich out-of-the-box library, Dart-based implementation of vectors and matrices has to be quite performant.
Among myriad of standard Dart tools there are SIMD data types. Namely support of SIMD computational architecture served as a source of inspiration for creating this library.
What is SIMD? #
SIMD stands for Single instruction, multiple data - it's a computer architecture that allows
to perform uniform mathematical operations in parallel on a list-like data structure. For instance, one has two arrays:
and one needs to add these arrays element-wise. Using the regular architecture this operation could be done in the following manner:
We need to do 4 operations one by one in a row. Using SIMD architecture we may perform one mathematical operation on several operands in parallel, thus element-wise sum of two arrays will be done for just one step:
 
Vectors #
A couple of words about the underlying architecture #
The library contains two high performant vector classes based on Float32x4 and Float64x2 data types - Float32x4Vector and Float64x2Vector (the second one is generated from the source code of the first vector's implementation)
Most of element-wise operations in the first one are performed in four "threads" and in the second one - in two "threads".
Implementation of both classes is hidden from the library's users. You can create a
Float32x4Vector or a Float64x2Vector instance via Vector factory (see examples below).
The vectors are immutable: once created, the vector cannot be changed. All the vector operations
lead to creation of a new vector instance (of course, if the operation is supposed to return a Vector).
Both classes implement Iterable<double> interface, so it's possible to use them as regular
iterable collections.
It's possible to use vector instances as keys for HashMap and similar data structures
and to look up a value by the vector-key, since the hash code is the same for equal vectors:
import 'package:ml_linalg/vector.dart';
final map = HashMap<Vector, bool>();
map[Vector.fromList([1, 2, 3, 4, 5])] = true;
print(map[Vector.fromList([1, 2, 3, 4, 5])]); // true
print(Vector.fromList([1, 2, 3, 4, 5]).hashCode == Vector.fromList([1, 2, 3, 4, 5]).hashCode); // true
Vector benchmarks #
To see the performance benefits provided by the library's vector classes, one may visit benchmark directory: one may find
there a baseline benchmark -
element-wise summation of two regular List instances and a benchmark
of a similar operation, but performed on two Float32x4Vector instances on the same amount of elements and compare
the timings:
- Baseline benchmark (executed on Macbook Air mid 2017), 2 regular lists each with 10,000,000 elements:
     
 
- Actual benchmark (executed on Macbook Air mid 2017), 2 vectors each with 10,000,000 elements:
     
 
It took 15 seconds to create a new regular list by summing the elements of two lists, and 0.7 second to sum two vectors - the difference is significant.

Matrices #
Along with SIMD vectors, the library presents SIMD-based Matrices. One can use the matrices via
Matrix factory. The matrices are immutable as well
as vectors and also they implement Iterable interface (to be precise, Iterable<Iterable<double>>), thus it's possible
to use them as a regular iterable collection.
Matrices are serializable, and that means that one can easily convert a Matrix instance to a json-serializable map
via toJson method, see the examples below.

    [15.0, 16.0, 17.0, 18.0],
    [21.0, 22.0, 23.0, 24.0],
    [24.0, 32.0, 53.0, 74.0],
  ]);
  final maxValue = matrix.max();
  print(maxValue);
  // 74.0

    [4.0, 5.0, 6.0],
    [7.0, 8.0, 9.0],
  ]);
  final result = matrix.pow(3.0);
  
  print(result);

    [4.0, 5.0, 6.0],
    [7.0, 8.0, 9.0],

Sum of all matrix elements
  import 'package:ml_linalg/linalg.dart';
  final matrix = Matrix.fromList([
    [1.0, 2.0, 3.0],
    [4.0, 5.0, 6.0],
    [7.0, 8.0, 9.0],
  ]);
  final result = matrix.sum();
  
  print(result); // 1.0 + 2.0 + 3.0 + 4.0 + 5.0 + 6.0 + 7.0 + 8.0 + 9.0

  import 'package:ml_linalg/linalg.dart';
  final matrix = Matrix.fromList([
    [1.0, 2.0, 3.0],
    [4.0, 5.0, 6.0],
    [7.0, 8.0, 9.0],
  ]);
  final result = matrix.product();
  
  print(result); // 1.0 * 2.0 * 3.0 * 4.0 * 5.0 * 6.0 * 7.0 * 8.0 * 9.0
Matrix indexing and sampling
To access a certain row vector of the matrix one may use [] operator:
import 'package:ml_linalg/linalg.dart';
final matrix = Matrix.fromList([
    [11.0, 12.0, 13.0, 14.0],
    [15.0, 16.0, 0.0, 18.0],
    [21.0, 22.0, -23.0, 24.0],
    [24.0, 32.0, 53.0, 74.0],
  ]);
final row = matrix[2];
print(row); // [21.0, 22.0, -23.0, 24.0]
The library's matrix interface offers sample method that is supposed to return a new matrix,
consisting of different segments of a source matrix. It's possible to build a new matrix from certain columns and
vectors and they should not be necessarily subsequent.
For example, one needs to create a matrix from rows 1, 3, 5 and columns 1 and 3. To do so, it's needed to perform the following:
import 'package:ml_linalg/linalg.dart';
final matrix = Matrix.fromList([
//| 1 |         | 3 |                
  [4.0,   8.0,   12.0,   16.0,  34.0], // 1 Range(0, 1)
  [20.0,  24.0,  28.0,   32.0,  23.0],
  [36.0,  .0,   -8.0,   -12.0,  12.0], // 3 Range(2, 3)
  [16.0,  1.0,  -18.0,   3.0,   11.0],
  [112.0, 10.0,  34.0,   2.0,   10.0], // 5 Range(4, 5)
]);
final result = matrix.sample(
  rowIndices: [0, 2, 4],
  columnIndices: [0, 2],
);
print(result);
/*
  [4.0,   12.0],
  [36.0,  -8.0],
  [112.0, 34.0]
*/
Add new columns to a matrix
import 'package:ml_linalg/linalg.dart';
final matrix = Matrix.fromList([
  [11.0, 12.0, 13.0, 14.0],
  [15.0, 16.0, 0.0, 18.0],
  [21.0, 22.0, -23.0, 24.0],
  [24.0, 32.0, 53.0, 74.0],
], dtype: DType.float32);
final updatedMatrix = matrix.insertColumns(0, [
  Vector.fromList([1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0]),
  Vector.fromList([-1.0, -2.0, -3.0, -4.0]),
]);
print(updatedMatrix);
// [
//  [1.0, -1.0, 11.0, 12.0, 13.0, 14.0],
//  [2.0, -2.0, 15.0, 16.0, 0.0, 18.0],
//  [3.0, -3.0, 21.0, 22.0, -23.0, 24.0],
//  [4.0, -4.0, 24.0, 32.0, 53.0, 74.0],
// ]
print(updatedMatrix == matrix); // false
Matrix serialization/deserialization
To convert a matrix to a json-serializable map one may use toJson method:
import 'package:ml_linalg/linalg.dart';
final matrix = Matrix.fromList([
    [11.0, 12.0, 13.0, 14.0],
    [15.0, 16.0, 0.0, 18.0],
    [21.0, 22.0, -23.0, 24.0],
    [24.0, 32.0, 53.0, 74.0],
  ]);
final serialized = matrix.toJson();
To restore a serialized matrix one may use Matrix.fromJson constructor:
import 'package:ml_linalg/linalg.dart';
final matrix = Matrix.fromJson(serialized);
