scikit-learn

Did you know that many #opensource repositories suffer from a large number of open pull requests that need a reviewer? Open source maintainers are usually very busy with many of them being volunteers. This easily leads to a great number of pull requests that lack attention. So this Hacktoberfest I've been focussing on reviewing pull request and I encourage you to do the same! 😊 Many people are afraid of starting to review code because they fear that they lack the required knowledge and experience. However, if you have made a few contributions of a similar kind to a project, for example code documentation, you definitely have the necessary skills to start reviewing code documentation! Starting to review open source code is very educational, increases your competence over time and will make you feel more connected to the community of the project you are involved with.

Tick-tock, tick-tock ⏰ The user survey is closing soon... Participate to this collaborative effort to improve your favorite package! We would like to thank the teams from University of Oxford, POSSEE OpenTeams, and :probabl. as well as many scikit-learn contributors, for their time and effort in designing and translating it. https://lnkd.in/eYNG2bjd

📢 Bugfix release - scikit-learn 1.5.2 is out! 🔴 6 fixes It fixes several regressions introduced in version 1.5 More details in the changelog: https://lnkd.in/emPUn6Rt You can upgrade with pip as usual: pip install -U scikit-learn or using the conda-forge builds: conda install -c conda-forge scikit-learn Thanks to all the contributors!

Yay, the 2024 scikit-learn user survey is out! Please join this structured dialogue with the scikit-learn team to better guide and prioritize decision-making about the development of the project. 🌎 We have the survey available in these languages: Arabic, English, French, Japanese, Mandarin, Portuguese, Spanish. ⏱️ The survey will take about 15 minutes of your time and close on October 14th, 2024. 📝 A survey results report and anonymized dataset will be publicly released by the end of 2024. ➡️ To get started, click here: https://lnkd.in/eyAyjEu2

Thrilled to share that scikit-learn has been awarded a CZI-EOSS grant for cycle 6! 🎉 With this funding, we'll enhance and expand tools for predictive model evaluation and inspection. Read all about it here: https://lnkd.in/eCpr6uji 📝 A big thank you to Chan Zuckerberg Initiative and Wellcome Trust for their support! #MachineLearning #OpenScience #python #DataScience

🔵 There is now a handy widget on the scikit-learn GitHub repo for citations. 🔸GitHub has added this built-in citation support so researchers and scientists can more easily receive acknowledgments for their contributions to software. 🔸Check it out! If you use scikit-learn in a scientific publication, we appreciate citations. https://lnkd.in/dwncfBb7 #opensource #datascience #machinelearning

I added an enhancement to scikit-learn! If you have used the "sklearn.utils.validation.check_array" function to prep your data before passing it to a model, you know how convenient it is. It is not even more by checking that your array doesn't contain negative values. The proposed changes also sparked additional API changes (see both entries here: https://lnkd.in/eDK7zxkw). The improvement idea came by noticing a pattern that both the scikit-learn repo itself and the other users across GitHub had - using the function "check_non_negative" right after "check_array" in the cases where they would like to make sure that all values are non-negative. I encountered this while working on making fairlearn's estimators more scikit-learn compatible. If you are creating custom scikit-learn estimators or looking into improving existing ones, enabling the new v0.15 estimator checks (https://lnkd.in/ebhFatU7) could be a great way of giving you a structured way to achieve this (read more here: https://lnkd.in/e-jsB7HA). I've been slowly chipping in there, which has led to lots of refactoring, testing improvements, and overall safer code. Lastly, check out fairlearn and all the contributions in the last few months, which make it easier to build, contribute and use: https://lnkd.in/ez-dmKvn I've been a part of :probabl. since May and it's been the most fun I have had at work in years. I plan to have a series of technical talks about the work we are doing. I can't wait to tell you all about it :)
