ScalaNLP is a suite of machine learning and numerical computing libraries for the Scala programming language.

ScalaNLP is an umbrella project that provides several libraries for scientific computing, machine learning, and natural language processing. Its core component, Breeze, offers functionalities for linear algebra, numerical computing, and optimization, enabling efficient machine learning applications. Another key library, Epic, is a high-performance statistical parser and structured prediction library supporting eight languages. The project also includes Puck, a GPU-powered parser designed for speed. Puck utilizes grammars from the Berkeley Parser and can process a high volume of sentences per second on compatible hardware.
