Open Source Is leading machine learning - SD Times

The amazing strength of open source is in the proliferation of powerful tools and libraries that get you up and running quickly. At the core of the Python numerical/scientific computing ecosystem are NumPy and SciPy. NumPy and SciPy are foundational libraries on top of which many other ML and data science packages are built. NumPy provides support for numerical programming in Python. NumPy has been in development since 2006 and just received US$645,000 in funding this summer.
