I want to predict a vector whose elements are binary. What is the most promising machine learning model for doing this at present? Is there a corresponding Julia package?

That’s a pretty broad question - see [List of Supported Models · MLJ](https://juliaai.github.io/MLJ.jl/stable/list_of_supported_models/) and read a bit about the classifier models to see if any might be particularly suited, or if you don’t want to spend any time just use Xgboost Classifier and a logistic regression via GLM.jl

Thank you, @nilshg !

What is the relationship between Julia’s different machine learning packages? (For example, `MLJ.jl`, `Flux.jl`, …) Is there a kind of overall introduction like an overview chart?

Not as far as I’m aware. MLJ is a framework which unifies access to lots of different models and provides convenience functions for tuning, stacking etc., so in that sense it sits on top of a number of ML packages which implements a specific methodology/estimator.

Thank you very much, @nilshg ! Now I have general cognition of where MLJ.jl is located.

If you want to explore probabilistic methods as well, I recommend RxInfer.jl and Turing.jl. You could start with simple categorical models and build out more complex models from there.

Thank you @langestefan I’ll have a try if possible. 🤝
