Intel(R) Extension for Scikit-learn*

Intel(R) Extension for Scikit-learn is a seamless way to speed up your Scikit-learn application. The acceleration is achieved through the use of the Intel(R) oneAPI Data Analytics Library (oneDAL). Patching scikit-learn makes it a well-suited machine learning framework for dealing with real-life problems.

⚠️Intel(R) Extension for Scikit-learn contains scikit-learn patching functionality that was originally available in daal4py package. All future updates for the patches will be available only in Intel(R) Extension for Scikit-learn. We recommend you to use scikit-learn-intelex package instead of daal4py. You can learn more about daal4py in daal4py documentation.

⚡️ Get Started

Intel CPU optimizations patching

import numpy as np
from sklearnex import patch_sklearn
patch_sklearn()

from sklearn.cluster import DBSCAN

X = np.array([[1., 2.], [2., 2.], [2., 3.],
              [8., 7.], [8., 8.], [25., 80.]], dtype=np.float32)
clustering = DBSCAN(eps=3, min_samples=2).fit(X)

Intel GPU optimizations patching

import numpy as np
from sklearnex import patch_sklearn
from daal4py.oneapi import sycl_context

With the original Scikit-learn:

python runner.py --configs configs/blogs/skl_conda_config.json –report --no-intel-optimized

Intel(R) Extension for Scikit-learn patching affects performance of specific Scikit-learn functionality. Refer to the list of supported algorithms and parameters for details. In cases when unsupported parameters are used, the package fallbacks into original Scikit-learn. If the patching does not cover your scenarios, submit an issue on GitHub.

⚠️ We support optimizations for the last four versions of scikit-learn. The latest release of Intel(R) Extension for Scikit-learn 2021.3.X supports scikit-learn 0.22.X, 0.23.X, 0.24.X and 1.0.X.
