Elixir Livebook is a secret weapon for documentation | Aug 2023
Apart from running code inside a "markdown" file, livebook can do much more. You have Smart cells to show charts, run sql queries against a db, run Neural Network tasks such as Image-To-Text generation using Bumblebee[1], etc. It is collaborative as well.

“Machine Learning in Elixir” (Beta Book) | Jul 2023
Elixir is an increasingly interesting platform for ML (see Nx, Axon, and more recently BumbleBee https://github.com/elixir-nx/bumblebee). I'm pretty happy to see this book released in beta.

José from the Livebook team. I don't think I can make a pitch because I have limited Python/R experience to use as reference.

My suggestion is for you to give it a try for a day or two and see what you think. I am pretty sure you will find weak spots and I would be very happy to hear any feedback you may have. You can find my email on my GitHub profile (same username).

In general we have grown a lot since the Numerical Elixir effort started two years ago. Here are the main building blocks:

* Nx (https://github.com/elixir-nx/nx/tree/main/nx#readme): equivalent to Numpy, deeply inspired by JAX. Runs on both CPU and GPU via Google XLA (also used by JAX/Tensorflow) and supports tensor serving out of the box

* Axon (https://github.com/elixir-nx/axon): Nx-powered neural networks

* Bumblebee (https://github.com/elixir-nx/bumblebee): Equivalent to HuggingFace Transformers. We have implemented several models and that's what powers the Machine Learning integration in Livebook (see the announcement for more info: https://news.livebook.dev/announcing-bumblebee-gpt2-stable-d...)

* Explorer (https://github.com/elixir-nx/explorer): Series and DataFrames, as per this thread.

* Scholar (https://github.com/elixir-nx/scholar): Nx-based traditional Machine Learning. This one is the most recent effort of them all. We are treading the same path as scikit-learn but quite early on. However, because we are built on Nx, everything is derivable, GPU-ready, distributable, etc.

Regarding visualization, we have "smart cells" for VegaLite and MapLibre, similar to how we did "Data Transformations" in the video above. They help you get started with your visualizations and you can jump deep into the code if necessary.

I hope this helps!

Anyone know how I could try and use this with Elixir livebook with https://github.com/elixir-nx/bumblebee

I'm new but this is something that would get me going.
