Abstract

SciPy is an open-source scientific computing library for the Python programming language. Since its initial release in 2001, SciPy has become a de facto standard for leveraging scientific algorithms in Python, with over 600 unique code contributors, thousands of dependent packages, over 100,000 dependent repositories and millions of downloads per year. In this work, we provide an overview of the capabilities and development practices of SciPy 1.0 and highlight some recent technical developments.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • For crystal system prediction from PXRD, features were extracted using a peak-finding algorithm from SciPy with a minimum intensity threshold of 5 to ensure inclusion of only significant diffraction signals.

    “We extracted these features using a peak-finding algorithm from the SciPy[92] library, applying a minimum intensity threshold of 5 to ensure the inclusion of only significant diffraction signals.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
