Scikit-learn Tutorial contains the materials for Jake VanderPlas’s introductory scikit-learn tutorial, originally used at major Python conferences. It provides a collection of notebooks that walk attendees from basic machine-learning concepts into practical modeling using the scikit-learn library. The tutorial covers data preparation, model fitting, evaluation, and common algorithms such as classification, regression, clustering, and dimensionality reduction. It is designed for people who already have a working Python environment and some familiarity with NumPy, SciPy, and Matplotlib. The repository specifies a clear list of dependencies so that participants can reproduce the environment used in the tutorial, and many downstream forks keep the content updated for newer versions of scikit-learn. Although the GitHub repository has been archived and is read-only, it is still a valuable snapshot of early, hands-on teaching material for scikit-learn and machine learning in Python.
