Breeze

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

The latest release is 1.0, which is cross-built against Scala 2.11, 2.12, and 2.13.

Documentation

https://github.com/scalanlp/breeze/wiki/Quickstart
https://github.com/scalanlp/breeze/wiki/Linear-Algebra-Cheat-Sheet
Scaladoc (Scaladoc is typically horribly out of date, and not a good way to learn Breeze.)
There is also the scala-breeze google group for general questions and discussion.

Using Breeze

Building it yourself

This project can be built with SBT 1.2+

SBT

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

libraryDependencies  ++= Seq(
  // Last stable release
  "org.scalanlp" %% "breeze" % "1.0",
  
  // Native libraries are not included by default. add this if you want them
  // Native libraries greatly improve performance, but increase jar sizes. 
  // It also packages various blas implementations, which have licenses that may or may not
  // be compatible with the Apache License. No GPL code, as best I know.
  "org.scalanlp" %% "breeze-natives" % "1.0",
  
  // The visualization library is distributed separately as well.
  // It depends on LGPL code
  "org.scalanlp" %% "breeze-viz" % "1.0"
)

For more details on the optional breeze-natives module, please watch Sam Halliday's talk at Scala eXchange 2014 High Performance Linear Algebra in Scala (follow along with high-res slides).

Maven

Maven looks like this:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.scalanlp</groupId>
  <artifactId>breeze_2.13</artifactId>
  <version>1.0</version>
</dependency>

Other build tools

[http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.scalanlp/breeze_2.12/1.0] (as an example) is a great resource for finding other configuration examples for other build tools.

See documentation (linked above!) for more information on using Breeze.

History

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.
