BeautifulAlgorithms.jl

Concise algorithms written in Julia and formatted with Carbon.

Algorithms for machine learning, optimization, reinforcement learning, online planning, decision making under uncertainty, and sorting. All implementations are working and self-contained; refer to the test cases.

Note, these are primarily for academic purposes and are not designed for real-world usage. There are many other Julia packages that implement more sound versions of these algorithms.
