Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

Whenever you have a problem that you:

  • Don't know how-to solve
  • Don't want to design a custom network for
  • Want to discover the ideal neural-network structure for

You can use Carrot's ability to design networks of arbitrary complexity by itself to solve whatever problem you have. If you want to see Carrot designing a neural-network to play flappy-bird check here

Key Features

  • Simple docs & interactive examples
  • Neuro-evolution & population based training
  • Multi-threading & GPU (coming soon)
  • Complete customizable Networks with various types of layers
  • Mutable Neurons, Connections, Layers, and Networks

Install

$ npm i @liquid-carrot/carrot

Carrot files are hosted by JSDelivr

For prototyping or learning, use the latest version here:

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@liquid-carrot/carrot/dist/carrot.umd2.min.js"></script>

For production, link to a specific version number to avoid unexpected breakage from newer versions:

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@liquid-carrot/[email protected]/dist/carrot.umd2.min.js"></script>

Getting Started

💡 Want to be super knowledgeable about neuro-evolution in a few minutes?

Check out this article by the creator of NEAT, Kenneth Stanley

💡 Curious about how neural-networks can understand speech and video?

Check out this video on Recurrent Neural Networks, from @LearnedVector, on YouTube

This is a simple perceptron:

perceptron.

How to build it with Carrot:

const architect = new Architect();

architect.addLayer(new InputLayer(4));
architect.addLayer(new DenseLayer(5, { activationType: RELUActivation }));
architect.addLayer(new OutputLayer(1));

const network = architect.buildModel();

Building networks is easy with 17 built-in layers You can combine them as you need.

const architect = new Architect();

architect.addLayer(new InputLayer(10));
architect.addLayer(new DenseLayer(10, { activationType: RELUActivation }));
architect.addLayer(new MaxPooling1DLayer(5, { activation: IdentityActivation }));
architect.addLayer(new OutputLayer(2, { activation: RELUActivation }));

const network = architect.buildModel();

Networks also shape themselves with neuro-evolution

const XOR = [
  { input: [0, 0], output: [0] },
  { input: [0, 1], output: [1] },
  { input: [1, 0], output: [1] },
  { input: [1, 1], output: [0] },
];

// this network learns the XOR gate (through neuro-evolution)
async function execute(): Promise<void> {
  this.timeout(20000);

  const network: Network = new Network(2, 1);

  const initial: number = network.test(XOR);
  await network.evolve({ iterations: 50, dataset: XOR });
  const final: number = network.test(XOR);

  expect(final).to.be.at.most(initial);
}

execute();

Or implement custom algorithms with neuron-level control

let Node = require("@liquid-carrot/carrot").Node;

let A = new Node(); // neuron
let B = new Node(); // neuron

A.connect(B);
A.activate(0.5);
console.log(B.activate());
