🔄 Migration Guide

From v3.0.1 to v3.1.2

No breaking changes - this is a drop-in replacement:

Update Maven dependency: ```xml

org.superml superml-core 3.1.2

Or use the all-in-one bundle:
```xml
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.superml</groupId>
    <artifactId>superml-bundle-all</artifactId>
    <version>3.1.2</version>
</dependency>

No code changes required - all existing code continues to work
Optional: Take advantage of new performance optimizations automatically
Optional: Update to newer documentation and examples

From v2.x.x to v3.1.2

Follow the v3.0.1 migration guide first, then upgrade to v3.1.2:

See Migration Guide 2.x → 3.0.1
All v3.0.1 migration steps apply
Additional v3.1.2 benefits are automatic

🚀 Usage Examples

Enhanced Performance Example

import org.superml.linear_model.LinearRegression;
import org.superml.preprocessing.StandardScaler;
import org.superml.pipeline.Pipeline;

// Performance improvements are automatic
LinearRegression model = new LinearRegression();
StandardScaler scaler = new StandardScaler();

Pipeline pipeline = new Pipeline()
    .addStep("scaler", scaler)
    .addStep("model", model);

// 15% faster training in v3.1.2
long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
pipeline.fit(X_train, y_train);
long trainingTime = System.currentTimeMillis() - startTime;
System.out.println("Training completed in: " + trainingTime + "ms");

// 8% faster predictions
double[] predictions = pipeline.predict(X_test);

Optimized Transformer Usage

import org.superml.transformers.TransformerEncoder;
import org.superml.transformers.MultiHeadAttention;

// Memory and speed optimizations are automatic
TransformerEncoder encoder = new TransformerEncoder.Builder()
    .modelDimension(512)
    .numLayers(6)
    .numAttentionHeads(8)
    .build();

// 20% faster attention computation in v3.1.2
encoder.train(trainingData);

Faster PMML Export

import org.superml.pmml.PMMLConverter;
import org.superml.tree_models.RandomForest;

RandomForest model = new RandomForest();
model.fit(X, y);

PMMLConverter converter = new PMMLConverter();

// 50% faster PMML generation in v3.1.2
long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
String pmml = converter.convertToXML(model);
long exportTime = System.currentTimeMillis() - startTime;
System.out.println("PMML export completed in: " + exportTime + "ms");
