Because of its simplicity and increased efficiency Python is becoming a highly favored language in the industry. This popularity has made developers build many python libraries for ML (Machine Learning, in case you are new to this). The manner in which a library works is that Data Scientists does not need to spend a lot of time debugging their code and can determine which library would be best suited for the undertaken project. In fact, our very own python and data science programs use many of these libraries.

The library acts as a collection of functions that enable a plethora of actions without the need to write code. Some of the best python libraries for machine learning are given below:

NumPy

NumPy stands for Numerical Python which is one of the most fundamental stacks built for scientific computation. This is primarily used for large computational functions involving multi-dimensional arrays and matrices. It also provides for vectorization of mathematical operations which work to increase the speed and efficiency of computation.

Tensorflow

Tensorflow is an open source Python library developed by Google and all Google applications employ Tensorflow for Machine Learning purposes. It operates as computational frameworks which involve algorithms containing a magnitude of Tensor operations. Tensors are N-dimensional matrices which represent data.

SciPy

SciPy mainly is used in the field of Engineering and Science. Its important feature is that it is based on NumPy and thus its capabilities are extended to a large degree. Its primary functions include solving algebra, probability and integral calculus.

Pandas

Pandas is the perfect python library while…
