AutoMLPipeline vs Gluon

AutoMLPipeline vs Gluon: What are the differences?

AutoMLPipeline: A package that makes it trivial to create and evaluate machine learning pipeline architectures (by IBM). It is a package that makes it trivial to create complex ML pipeline structures using simple expressions. It leverages on the built-in macro programming features of Julia to symbolically process, manipulate pipeline expressions, and automatically discover optimal structures for machine learning prediction and classification; Gluon: Deep Learning API from AWS and Microsoft. A new open source deep learning interface which allows developers to more easily and quickly build machine learning models, without compromising performance. Gluon provides a clear, concise API for defining machine learning models using a collection of pre-built, optimized neural network components.

AutoMLPipeline and Gluon belong to "Machine Learning Tools" category of the tech stack.

Some of the features offered by AutoMLPipeline are:

• Pipeline API that allows high-level description of processing workflow
• Common API wrappers for ML libs including Scikitlearn, DecisionTree, etc
• Symbolic pipeline parsing for easy expression of complexed pipeline structures

On the other hand, Gluon provides the following key features:

• Simple, Easy-to-Understand Code: Gluon offers a full set of plug-and-play neural network building blocks, including predefined layers, optimizers, and initializers.
• Flexible, Imperative Structure: Gluon does not require the neural network model to be rigidly defined, but rather brings the training algorithm and model closer together to provide flexibility in the development process.
• Dynamic Graphs: Gluon enables developers to define neural network models that are dynamic, meaning they can be built on the fly, with any structure, and using any of Python’s native control flow.
