Top 4 Machine Learning Software of the Week

This blog series features the top-performing projects on SourceForge under specific categories. This week, we feature the top 4 Machine Learning Software of the Week available on SourceForge.

Machine Learning is a field of computer science involving the study and construction of algorithms that are able to learn from and make predictions on data. Basically it’s giving computers the ability to learn and act without being explicitly programmed. This has broad applications, and is particularly useful in areas where designing and programming explicit algorithms with good performance is difficult or infeasible.

Here are the top 4 Machine Learning Software available here at SourceForge, based on weekly downloads:

Weka

Weka is a collection of machine learning algorithms for solving real-world data mining problems. It is written in Java and runs on almost any platform. The algorithms can either be applied directly to a dataset or called from your own Java code.

Armadillo C++ matrix library

Armadillo is a fast C++ matrix library with easy to use functions and syntax, deliberately similar to Matlab. It uses template meta-programming techniques and provides efficient wrappers for LAPACK, BLAS and ATLAS libraries, including high-performance versions such as OpenBLAS and Intel MKL.

It is useful for machine learning, pattern recognition, signal processing, bioinformatics, statistics, finance, etc.

Neuroph

Neuroph is lightweight Java Neural Network Framework which can be used to develop common neural network architectures. It has a small number of basic classes which correspond to basic NN concepts, and GUI editor makes it easy to learn and use.

dlib C++ Library

Dlib is a C++ toolkit containing machine learning algorithms and tools for creating complex software in C++ to solve real world problems. It includes fast, MATLAB like linear algebra support; many large scale non-linear optimization algorithms; very easy to use HOG object detection tools; a high quality face detector and more.
