Sklearn Alternatives
There are several alternatives to Scikit-Learn (sklearn) depending on your use case in machine learning, deep learning, or data analysis.
1. General Machine Learning Alternatives
- XGBoost – Optimized gradient boosting for high-performance ML models.
- LightGBM – Faster than XGBoost, good for large datasets.
- CatBoost – Best for categorical data and boosting models.
- H2O.ai – Scalable ML library for autoML and large datasets.
2. Deep Learning Alternatives
- TensorFlow – Google’s deep learning framework, supports neural networks.
- PyTorch – Facebook’s ML library, great for research and production.
- Keras – High-level API for TensorFlow, easier than raw TensorFlow.
3. Statistical & Probabilistic ML Alternatives
- Statsmodels – Great for regression, time series, and hypothesis testing.
- PyMC3 – Probabilistic programming and Bayesian statistics.
4. AutoML Alternatives (Automated Machine Learning)
- Auto-sklearn – Automated hyperparameter tuning and model selection.
- TPOT – Uses genetic algorithms to optimize ML pipelines.
- H2O AutoML – Automatically selects the best models and parameters.
5. Big Data & Distributed ML Alternatives
- Spark MLlib – ML for large-scale distributed computing.
- Dask-ML – Parallel ML for large datasets using Dask.
Which One to Choose?
