We just released skrub 0.2.0. This release markedly simplifies learning on complex dataframes.
The highlight of the release is the tabular_learner function, which facilitates creating pipelines that readily perform machine learning on dataframes, adding preprocessing to a scikit-learn compatible learner …

Open-source efforts around scikit-learn at Inria are spinning off to a new enterprise, Probabl, in charge of sustainable development of a data-science commons.

François Chollet rightfully said that people often underestimate the impact of scikit-learn. I give here a few illustrations to back his claim.
A few days ago, François Chollet (the creator of Keras, the library that that democratized deep learning) posted:
Indeed, scikit-learn continues to be the most popular machine …
The Mayavi Python software, and my personal history: A thread on Python and scipy ecosystems, building open source codebase, and meeting really cool and friendly people
I am writing today as a goodbye to the project: I used to be one of the core contributors and maintainers but have been …

Join us to work on reinventing data-science practices and tools to produce robust analysis with less data curation.
It is well known that data cleaning and preparation are a heavy burden to the data scientist.
In the dirty data project, we have been conducting machine-learning research …

With the growth of scikit-learn and the wider PyData ecosystem, we want to recruit in the Inria scikit-learn team for a new role. Departing from our usual focus on excellence in algorithms, statistics, or code, we want to add to the team someone with some technical understanding, but an …

This post discuss the difficulties of communicating while developing open-source projects and tries to gives some simple advice.
A large software project is above all a social exercise in which technical experts try to reach good decisions together, for instance on github pull requests. But communication is difficult, in …

An important acknowledgement for a different view of doing science: open, collaborative, and more than a proof of concept.
A few days ago, Loïc Estève, Alexandre Gramfort, Olivier Grisel, Bertrand Thirion, and myself received the “Académie des Sciences Inria prize for transfer”, for our contributions to the scikit-learn project …
We have just announced that a foundation will be supporting scikit-learn at Inria [1]: scikit-learn.fondation-inria.fr
This is an exciting turn for us, because it enables us to receive private funding. As a result, we will be able to have secure employment for some existing core …
Two weeks ago, we held a scikit-learn sprint in Austin and Paris. Here is a brief report, on progresses and challenges.
Several sprints
We actually held two sprint in Austin: one open sprint, at the scipy conference sprints, which was open to new contributors, and one core sprint, for more …
