A Library to Start Machine Learning Easily, Scikit-Learn
Machine learning involves learning patterns from data and making predictions. However, implementing complex machine learning algorithms from scratch can be difficult and complex.
Scikit-Learn
is a Python-based machine learning library that helps you implement machine learning models easily with just a few lines of Python code.
Installing Scikit-Learn
You can install Scikit-Learn with the following command. In this practice environment, Scikit-Learn is already installed, so there's no need for separate installation.
pip install scikit-learn
Why Scikit-Learn is Widely Used
Scikit-Learn is one of the most widely used machine learning libraries for AI beginners.
Here are some reasons why Scikit-Learn is popular:
-
Ease of Use : You can learn and predict machine learning models with just a few lines of code.
-
Variety of Algorithms : It supports various algorithms like linear regression, decision trees, random forests, support vector machines, and more.
-
Unified API : It provides methods like
fit()
,predict()
, andscore()
to handle trained machine learning models easily. -
Data Pre-processing Support : It offers various pre-processing functions such as handling missing values, feature scaling, and one-hot encoding.
Example Usage of Scikit-Learn
Let's create a simple Supervised Learning
model using Scikit-Learn.
Supervised learning is a method where you use input data and output labels to train the model.
Detailed content related to machine learning will be covered later. For this lesson, just take a look at the overall code.
The following example shows the process of learning and predicting with a simple dataset using the DecisionTreeClassifier
.
from sklearn.tree import DecisionTreeClassifier from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split from sklearn.datasets import load_iris # Load the dataset iris = load_iris() X, y = iris.data, iris.target # Split into training and testing data X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(X, y, test_size=0.2, random_state=42) # Create and train the model model = DecisionTreeClassifier() model.fit(X_train, y_train) # Perform predictions predictions = model.predict(X_test) # Evaluate the model accuracy = model.score(X_test, y_test) print(f"Model Accuracy: {accuracy:.2f}")
Code Explanation
-
load_iris()
: Loads the Iris dataset. -
train_test_split()
: Splits into training and testing data. -
DecisionTreeClassifier()
: Creates a decision tree model. -
fit()
: Trains the model. -
predict()
: Performs predictions on the test data. -
score()
: Evaluates the accuracy of the model.
Scikit-Learn is a powerful library that helps you implement machine learning easily in Python.
You can learn and evaluate various machine learning models with simple code, and it also supports data pre-processing features.
