Machine learning is making wonders across every industry. Disruptive technology is reshaping the way companies make decisions and deal with ever-growing data. Starting from chatbots to answer customer queries to detecting transaction frauds in banks, machine learning and its applications are streamlining many routine processes. In the past few years, the dominance of machine learning has stepped out of company floors. They are present in our everyday life. As more people and organizations incorporate machine learning into their functionalities, data scientists and machine learning engineers are striving to enhance their capabilities. As a quick remedy, open-source tools help them streamline their machine learning processes. The proliferation of free open-source tools and software has made machine learning easier to implement both on single machines and at scale, and in most popular programming languages. Open-source tools for machine learning helps professionals navigate the complexity of open-source code and allow them to get the maximum out of available data. Therefore, Analytics Insight has listed the top open-source tools for machine learning that are popular among data scientists and machine learning engineers.
