The machine learning software stack


In this chapter, we will be using a range of different libraries that are commonly used in machine learning. Let's take a minute to look at our stack, which consists of the following software:

  • Keras: A neural network library that can act as a simplified interface to TensorFlow.

  • NumPy: Adds support for large, multidimensional arrays as well as an extensive collection of mathematical functions.

  • Pandas: A library for data manipulation and analysis. It's similar to Microsoft's Excel but in Python, as it offers data structures to handle tables and the tools to manipulate them.

  • Scikit-learn: A machine learning library offering a wide range of algorithms and utilities.

  • TensorFlow: A dataflow programming library that facilitates working with neural networks.

  • Matplotlib: A plotting library.

  • Jupyter: A development environment. All of the code examples in this book are available in Jupyter Notebooks.
