Machine Learning for the Web

Scientific libraries used in the book

Throughout this book, certain libraries are necessary to implement the machine-learning techniques discussed in each chapter. We are going to briefly describe the most relevant libraries employed hereafter:

• SciPy is a collection of mathematical methods based on the NumPy array objects. It is an open source project so it takes advantage of additional methods continuously written from developers around the world. Python software that employs a SciPy routine is part of advanced projects or applications comparable to similar frameworks such as MATLAB, Octave or RLab. There are a wide range of methods available from manipulating and visualizing data functions to parallel computing routines that enhance the versatility ...
