Scikit-learn

scikit-learn (formerly scikits.learn) is an open source machine learning library for the Python programming language.

- Open Source
Once we had determined the shape of the data and the features we should focus on, we set out to create a model. (There is a wealth of ML tools available across programming languages like Python and Julia.) We chose scikit-learn, one of the most popular ML libraries around, and plugged the data into a random forest regression. (Say what? Here’s a quick and dirty guide to random forest regression.) As input, we used the ZIP codes of the print partner and the destination of the mailpiece. Our output target was the metric we had calculated during pre-processing: the difference in days between the earliest and latest USPS events recorded for each mailpiece (the mailpiece's time in transit).

Julia

Julia is a sophisticated programming language designed especially for numerical computing with specializations in analysis and computational science. It is also efficient for web use, general programming, and can be used as a specification language.
