Mono.

Yes, it's a classic but many people do not know,
An open source, cross-platform, implementation of C# (AND VB.NET, yes) and the CLR that is binary compatible with Microsoft.NET (AND VB.NET, as if, also can be programmed with vb.net)

Accord.NET Framework
The Accord.NET Framework is a C# framework extending the excellent AForge.NET Framework external with new tools and libraries. Accord.NET provides many algorithms for many topics in mathematics, statistics, machine learning, artificial intelligence and computer vision. It includes several methods for statistical analysis, such as Principal Component Analysis, Linear Discriminant Analysis, Partial Least Squares, Kernel Principal Component Analysis, Kernel Discriminant Analysis, Logistic and Linear Regressions and Receiver-Operating Curves. It also includes machine learning topics such as (Kernel) Support Vector Machines, Bayesian regularization for Neural Network training, RANSAC, K-Means, Gaussian Mixture Models and Discrete and Continuous Hidden Markov Models. The imaging and computer vision libraries includes projective image blending, homography estimation, the Camshift object tracker and the Viola-Jones object detector external.

ScintillaNET
ScintillaNET is a managed wrapper around the versatile Scintilla Windows control. Created with the developer in mind, the ScintllaNET API makes it simple to add advanced text editing and syntax highlighting to your application or IDE (Integrated Developer Environment) . In addition ScintillaNET adds features not found in other Scintilla wrappers such as Visual Studio style code snippets, integrated find and replace dialogs, true regular expression searches, multiple key-command bindings, and back/forward document navigation.

Note:
ScintillaNET.Configuration  has some bugs: only works correctly wih scilexer.dll 2.1.2.0, With others (upper) releases, ScintillaNet.Configuration.Configure should be called two times, but, in any case, lexer parameters can be set using scintillanet.NativeInterface (i am playing around this and scintilla r2.28).

log4net

log4net is a tool to help the programmer output log statements to a variety of output targets. log4net is a port of the excellent log4j framework to the .NET runtime. We have kept the framework similar in spirit to the original log4j while taking advantage of new features in the .NET runtime. For more information on log4net see the features document.

log4net is part of the Apache Logging Services project. The Logging Services project is intended to provide cross-language logging services for purposes of application debugging and auditing.
