MLflow vs scikit-learn: What are the differences?
Developers describe MLflow as "An open source machine learning platform". MLflow is an open source platform for managing the end-to-end machine learning lifecycle. On the other hand, scikit-learn is detailed 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.
MLflow and scikit-learn can be categorized as "Machine Learning" tools.
MLflow and scikit-learn are both open source tools. It seems that scikit-learn with 36K GitHub stars and 17.6K forks on GitHub has more adoption than MLflow with 23 GitHub stars and 13 GitHub forks.
A large part of our product is training and using a machine learning model. As such, we chose one of the best coding languages, Python, for machine learning. This coding language has many packages which help build and integrate ML models. For the main portion of the machine learning, we chose PyTorch as it is one of the highest quality ML packages for Python. PyTorch allows for extreme creativity with your models while not being too complex. Also, we chose to include scikit-learn as it contains many useful functions and models which can be quickly deployed. Scikit-learn is perfect for testing models, but it does not have as much flexibility as PyTorch. We also include NumPy and Pandas as these are wonderful Python packages for data manipulation. Also for testing models and depicting data, we have chosen to use Matplotlib and seaborn, a package which creates very good looking plots. Matplotlib is the standard for displaying data in Python and ML. Whereas, seaborn is a package built on top of Matplotlib which creates very visually pleasing plots.
