scikit-learn

scikit-learn (formerly scikits.learn and also known as sklearn) is

a free software machine learning library for the Python
scikit-learn
programming language.[3] It features various classification,
regression and clustering algorithms including support-vector
machines, random forests, gradient boosting, k-means and
DBSCAN, and is designed to interoperate with the Python

The scikit-learn project started as scikits.learn, a Google Summer Repository github.com
of Code project by French data scientist David Cournapeau. The /scikit-learn
name of the project stems from the notion that it is a "SciKit"

French Institute for Research in Computer Science and Written in Python,

released the first public version of the library on February 1, C++[2]
2010.[6] In November 2012, scikit-learn as well as scikit-image,
were described as two of the "well-maintained and popular" scikits Operating system Linux, macOS,

popular machine learning libraries on GitHub.[8] Type Library for

implemented by a Cython wrapper around LIBSVM; logistic
regression and linear support vector machines by a similar wrapper
around LIBLINEAR. In such cases, extending these methods with Python may not be possible.

scikit-learn integrates well with many other Python libraries, such as Matplotlib and plotly for plotting,
NumPy for array vectorization, Pandas dataframes, SciPy, and many more.

Version history
scikit-learn was initially developed by David Cournapeau as a Google Summer of Code project in 2007.
Later that year, Matthieu Brucher joined the project and started to use it as a part of his thesis work. In
2010, INRIA, the French Institute for Research in Computer Science and Automation, got involved and the
first public release (v0.1 beta) was published in late January 2010.
