2013-10-19 Thread Thomas Unterthiner
Hi there! I've noticed that sklearn uses numpy.linalg instead of scipy.linalg for its linear algebra implementations (e.g. dot or svd). However I found that scipy.linalg consistently performs better on my machines. Since sklearn requires scipy anyways, I was wondering what the reason is for s
