scikit-learn vs Numba: What are the differences?

Developers describe scikit-learn as "Easy-to-use and general-purpose machine learning in Python". scikit-learn is a Python module for machine learning built on top of SciPy and distributed under the 3-Clause BSD license. On the other hand, Numba is detailed as "An open source JIT compiler that translates a subset of Python and NumPy code into fast machine code". It translates Python functions to optimized machine code at runtime using the industry-standard LLVM compiler library. It offers a range of options for parallelising Python code for CPUs and GPUs, often with only minor code changes.

scikit-learn and Numba can be categorized as "Machine Learning" tools.

scikit-learn is an open source tool with 36.8K GitHub stars and 18.1K GitHub forks. Here's a link to scikit-learn's open source repository on GitHub.

      What are some alternatives to Numba and scikit-learn?
      Julia
      Julia is a high-level, high-performance dynamic programming language for technical computing, with syntax that is familiar to users of other technical computing environments. It provides a sophisticated compiler, distributed parallel execution, numerical accuracy, and an extensive mathematical function library.
      CUDA
      A parallel computing platform and application programming interface model,it enables developers to speed up compute-intensive applications by harnessing the power of GPUs for the parallelizable part of the computation.
      NumPy
      Besides its obvious scientific uses, NumPy can also be used as an efficient multi-dimensional container of generic data. Arbitrary data-types can be defined. This allows NumPy to seamlessly and speedily integrate with a wide variety of databases.
      PyPy
      It is a very compliant implementation of the Python language, featuring a JIT compiler. It runs code about 7 times faster than CPython.
      Pandas
      Flexible and powerful data analysis / manipulation library for Python, providing labeled data structures similar to R data.frame objects, statistical functions, and much more.
