Lua error in Module:Infobox at line 314: malformed pattern (missing ']'). scikit-learn (formerly scikits.learn) is a free software machine learning library for the Python programming language.[2] 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 numerical and scientific libraries NumPy and SciPy.

Overview

The scikit-learn project started as scikits.learn, a Google Summer of Code project by David Cournapeau. Its name stems from the notion that it is a "SciKit" (SciPy Toolkit), a separately-developed and distributed third-party extension to SciPy.[3] The original codebase was later rewritten by other developers. Of the various scikits, scikit-learn as well as scikit-image were described as "well-maintained and popular" in November 2012.[4]

As of 2015, scikit-learn is under active development and is sponsored by INRIA, Telecom ParisTech and occasionally Google (through the Google Summer of Code).[5]

Implementation

scikit-learn is largely written in Python, with some core algorithms written in Cython to achieve performance. Support vector machines are implemented by a Cython wrapper around LIBSVM; logistic regression and linear support vector machines by a similar wrapper around LIBLINEAR.
