An Update on Scikit-learn

This talk will provide a brief introduction into scikit-learn and it's part in the machine learning ecosystem. It will also discuss recent additions to scikit-learn, such as better integration with pandas and better support for missing values and categorical data. We'll end some future directions, including better control over parallelization and better use of multi-core systems, as well as better tools for model inspection and model debugging.
