Scikit-learn: machine learning in Python

This has been around for a long time. Is there something new about the website that I'm missing?

This was my first reaction too, I've been using it for over a year and I had assumed patrons of HN knew all about it. For anyone who isn't familiar, this is a great library for getting machine learning code up and running quickly!

Same. I've known about it for quite a while, used it a bit for a small side project. Highly recommend.

I don't see anything new here, but for any practioners like myself Scikit-learn and Spyder were the Python tools which finally moved me from a die hard MATLAB junkie.

I grabbed the handy Anaconda package from here: https://store.continuum.io/cshop/anaconda/

Within about two weeks, and with a little bit of discipline, I became a MATLAB->Python convert. Spyder is a solid IDE, and Anaconda comes with all the packages you need (i.e. Matplotlib...).

All that's left now is to find a solution to MATLAB's excellent debugging. You can break to pydb in Spyder but the debug environment is nowhere near as functional as iPython.

Have you tried ipdb?

Fwiw, Deeplearning4j.org is a modest attempt to bring sci-kit learn's semantics to the Java and Scala communities.

scikit learn is a great package, but it's bizarre that people haven't heard of it before?

Out of curiosity, do they have any functionality for dealing with larger than memory datasets?

This will be addressed in the following years by the WENDELIN project (http://www.wendelin.io/) which has recently been financed (well, we're still waiting for the contracts and the money, actually) by the French government.

Sort of. There are out-of-core learning algorithms (e.g. SGD) that work on data that doesn't entirely fit in main memory. Please see: http://scikit-learn.org/stable/auto_examples/applications/pl...

Seems to be offline to me?

Working fine for me.

Okay, now it also works for me :)
