The Aim Of Scikit-Learn 1.0 - AI Summary

It may sound a bit strange noting the fact that Scikit-Learn has been used by thousands of companies, data scientists, researchers… for a long time and everyone considers it as the most spread framework for general purpose Machine Learning. In this article, I do not want to make an analysis of the new features as many other articles do but to understand the aim of Scikit-Learn with this release and what is its strategy for future developments Scikit-Learn was born in 2007 first as a Google Summer of Code project and continued being developed in a researching environment. Its objective was to serve as a tool to make data analysis without having to focus on any particular technology or code. For this reason, it is based on Python, an open-source language, easy to use, general-purpose, and able to embed C code Another big problem when working with data is the computational resources in terms of memory and processing, so Scikit-Learn has always made a big effort in improving the algorithm efficiency to allow even the users with low computational resources to work with data. Scikit-Learn does it by using statistical approximations and low-level code (Cython). It may sound a bit strange noting the fact that Scikit-Learn has been used by thousands of companies, data scientists, researchers… for a long time and everyone considers it as the most spread framework for general purpose Machine Learning.
