A nice list! But this would be significantly more useful if it included project licensing information. In my case, any library licensed under the GPL is automatically excluded from consideration, so this is a significant factor. I'd rather not spend any time on those.

How do you feel about LGPL?

Why do people keep complaining about the content or giving suggestions here? I'm pretty sure the original list was created on Github exactly to encourage contributions (push requests).

LGPL is a borderline case. On one hand, it doesn't force itself onto all of your software. On the other hand, it contains the same patent claim landmine that the GPL does and that landmine is considered to be dangerous by many lawyers (GPLv2 Section 7, LGPLv2 Section 11).

So, in practical terms, it depends on who my current client/employer/investor is. Myself, I'd rather not use any LGPLd libraries.

I have a pretty good decision/tree random forest library for go:

I wish they'd list the license next to each of the projects so I can avoid those that are work unfriendly.

I'm surprised at the lack of tools for Java. Do Java developers really not do machine learning? Or is this resource missing some libraries?

the scala libraries like Factorie work just fine from java.
