Well, and they all use algebra, but it is still not a higher math,
right?
so, matlab, octave, numpy, scipy -- generic computational
frameworks/libraries. I think I can't tell that about shogun, but I can
say that it was geared toward machine learning. Would I be wrong?
but your point has merits, that all those generic libraries might have
components which fall into realm of machine learning (polynomial fitting
etc within scipy), but usually they would have more evolved components
outside (e.g. additional toolkit for a $ in Matlab, or scikit-learn for
scipy) and those would become a part of this task. May be generic
frameworks (besides Matlab) could be suggested (weak dependency) as well
