Scikit-learn Consortium
Scikit-learn is a machine-learning library in Python. It is the engine that powers many applications of artifical intelligence and data science.
Scikit-learn is used on a regular basis by more than half a million people in the world, with applications ranging from medical imaging to product recommendation.
Scikit-learn is an open-source software, under BSD license that facilitates commercial usage. It is developed by a world-wide community, gathering many different expertise on statistics, algorithms and software production.
The quality of scikit-learn, its algorithms, its interfaces, its documentation, are universally acclaimed. Its development follows a strict process to ensure this quality.
The goal of the foundation is to enable maintaining scikit-learn’s high standards addressing new challenges.
The foundation employs central contributors to the project, to support scikit-learn’s community and to develop new ambitious features. The priorities of the foundation are set jointly by the community and its sponsors.
