Allowing seeds for randomness

1

We frequently use randomness throughout rusty-machine and in all cases default to the `rand::thread_rng` (except in the new `Shuffler` added by #135). It is very valuable for users to be...

Numerical Instability of GMM

9

There are a few problems with the current GMM implementation. - [ ] Using `det` and `inverse` is numerically unstable, should use `cholesky` instead. - [x] The regularization constant is...

I think it would be nice if we had some examples showing how to utilize more advanced aspects of the library. Something along the lines of using a custom `Distribution`...

Improvements to Neural Networks

12

There are some issues with the current Neural Network implementation. Though rusty-machine will not be able to beat existing deep learning frameworks it would be nice if we could provide...

It would be good to get some benchmarks for rusty-machine to see how we compare to other common libraries. Perhaps the most obvious would be [scikit learn](http://scikit-learn.org/stable/)/[mlpack](http://www.mlpack.org/). Of course there...
