liblinear

brew install liblinear v2.50 BSD-3-Clause

C library for large-scale linear classification and regression via support vector machines.

Why you might care

LIBLINEAR is a foundational machine learning library optimized for linear models on high-dimensional sparse data; it's widely used as a backend in scikit-learn and other ML frameworks. Choose it if you need fast, scalable linear SVM training or if you're building ML pipelines that depend on it as a shared library.
