Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

The Evolutionary Computation Methods No One Should Use
Very interesting to see how wide spread this is. Stumbled upon it myself by accident when comparing my algorithm to a popular Bayesian optimisation algorithm (https://github.com/rmcantin/bayesopt). Almost every run it would sample the exact centre of the optimisation space. At first I was blown away by the performance until I found it suspicious that the precise optimum was found so often. Shifting the optimum away from the centre greatly reduced the algorithms performance.

Ask HN: What ML platform are you using?
> I am very much a beginner in the space of machine learning
While the (precious and useful) advice around seem to cover mostly the bigger infrastructures, please note that
you can effectively do an important slice of machine learning work (study, personal research) with just a battery-efficiency-level CPU (not GPU), in the order of minutes, on a battery. That comes before going to "Big Data".
And there are lightweight tools: I am current enamoured with Genann («minimal, well-tested open-source library implementing feedfordward artificial neural networks (ANN) in C»), a single C file of 400 lines compiling to a 40kb object, yet well sufficient to solve a number of the problems you may meet.

After all, is it a good idea to have tools that automate process optimization while you are learning the deal? Only partially. You should build - in general and even metaphorically - the legitimacy of your Python ops on a good C ground.
And: note that you can also build ANNs in R (and other math or stats environments). If needed or comfortable...
Also note - reminder - that the MIT lessons of Prof. Patrick Winston for the Artificial Intelligence course (classical AI with a few lessons on ANNs) are freely available. That covers the grounds relative to climb into the newer techniques.
