Welcome to Intel® Extension for Scikit-learn* Documentation

Scikit-learn* is a Python* module for machine learning. Intel® Extension for Scikit-learn* seamlessly speeds up your scikit-learn applications for Intel CPUs and GPUs across single- and multi-node configurations. This extension package dynamically patches scikit-learn estimators while improving performance for your machine learning algorithms.

The extension is part of the Intel® AI Analytics Toolkit (AI Kit) that provides flexibility to use machine learning tools with your existing AI packages.

Using scikit-learn with this extension, you can:

• Speed up training and inference by up to 100x with the equivalent mathematical accuracy.
• Continue to use the open source scikit-learn API.
• Enable and disable the extension with a couple lines of code or at the command line.
