Scikit-learn (formerly known as scikit) is a powerful open-source machine learning library in Python. It is built on top of other scientific computing libraries such as NumPy, SciPy, and Matplotlib. Scikit-learn provides a wide range of algorithms and tools for data analysis and predictive modeling.
