Out of curiosity, what kind of data do you generate with Haskell? And would be willing to show an example of a one or two liner that generates the data? ๐Ÿ™

Uh, let's look at my GHCi history...

It looks like I was last searching for 12-member sets of permutations of 7 which come close to generating every possible permutation of seven elements, as well as meeting a few other criteria, for an electronics project. It ended up being more like 10 lines plus comments, though, ~~plus a big table generated by GAP, which I formatted into a Haskell list using probably a line of Haskell plus file loading.~~

Unfortunately for providing code, me playing with the finished algorithm has eaten up my whole 100 lines of history. So, here's a two-liner I posted on Lemmy before, that implements a feed-forward neural net. It's not exactly what you asked for, but it gives you an idea.

layer layerInput layerWeights = map relu $ map sum $ map (zipWith (*) layerInput) layerWeights

foldl layer modelInput modelWeights

In practice, you might also need to define relu in another line:

relu x = if x > 0 then x else 0

Edit: No wait, I think that was a different problem related to the same project. There's another module attached that generates all permutations of n items. After breaking it up so it's a bit less write-only:

allPermutations :: Int -> [[Int]]
allPermutations 1 = [[0]]
allPermutations n = concat $ map (addItem $ allPermutations (n-1) ) [0..(n-1)]

addItem :: [[Int]]  -> Int -> [[Int]]
addItem old new = map (\y -> new : map (fitAround new) y) old

fitAround :: Int -> Int -> Int
fitAround n y
	| y >= n	= y+1
	| otherwise	= y

Cool! Thank you for sharing!

I just recently read the man page for GNU Parallel, and that seems like a pretty nifty tool to generate permutations of data as well. It's command-line so great for scripts, utilizes many cores, quick to do without mind-bending Haskell project setup, etc..., for anyone interested. ๐Ÿ™‚๐Ÿ‘

I'll look into it, although this probably wasn't directed at me. GHC can compile multi-threaded, and "setup" here was just opening GHCi and starting, and then moving it into files once it got large enough I didn't want to repeat the work, so I'm happy.

[โ€“] victorz 2 points 8 months ago

I still haven't been able to learn project setup with Haskell and know exactly what I'm doing lol. But I'm glad you have a working setup! But yeah, do look into parallel if you want, maybe it can prove useful, or not. It was directed at you, considering your use case of generating permutations. :-)

Take care!

BTW: I think you need to put the "```" on separate lines.

Edit: huh, nope, that had no difference in effect for me. Wonder why your code doesn't render for me...

Which frontend are you on? I'm using lemmy-ui (the default webapp) and it renders fine, not sure how to find which version.

[โ€“] victorz 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I was using Sync for Lemmy when your comment didn't render properly. No idea why. Especially since my own comments were rendering fine. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I'd guess it has to do with the specific symbols I was using, and there's a bug in rendering of markdown in Sync.
