PRML repository is a respected and well-maintained project that implements the foundational algorithms from the famous textbook Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning by Christopher M. Bishop, providing a practical and accessible Python reference for both students and professionals. Rather than just summarizing concepts, the repository includes working code that demonstrates linear regression and classification, kernel methods, neural networks, graphical models, mixture models with EM algorithms, approximate inference, and sequential data methods — all following the book’s structure and notation. Many of these algorithms are paired with Jupyter notebooks that let users interact with the code, visualize results, and experiment with parameters in a way that deeply strengthens theoretical understanding.
