1.3 scikit-learn
scikit-learn is an open source project, meaning that it is free to useand distribute, and anyone can easily obtain the source code to see whatis going on behind the scenes. The scikit-learn project is constantlybeing developed and improved, and it has a very active user community.It contains a number of state-of-the-art machine learning algorithms, aswell as comprehensive documentation about each algorithm. scikit-learn is a verypopular tool, and the most prominent Python library for machinelearning. It is widely used in industry and academia, and a wealth oftutorials and code snippets are available online. scikit-learn workswell with a number of other scientific Python tools, which we willdiscuss later in this chapter.While reading this, we recommend that you also browse the scikit-learnuser guide and API documentation for additional details on and many moreoptions for each algorithm. The online documentation is very thorough,and this book will provide you with all the prerequisites in machinelearning to understand it in detail.
