Keras vs Hummingbird: What are the differences?
What is Keras? Deep Learning library for Theano and TensorFlow. Deep Learning library for Python. Convnets, recurrent neural networks, and more. Runs on TensorFlow or Theano. https://keras.io/.
What is Hummingbird? Compile trained ML models into tensor computation (By Microsoft). It is a library for compiling trained traditional ML models into tensor computations. It allows users to seamlessly leverage neural network frameworks (such as PyTorch) to accelerate traditional ML models.
Keras and Hummingbird can be primarily classified as "Machine Learning" tools.
Some of the features offered by Keras are:
- neural networks API
- Allows for easy and fast prototyping
- Convolutional networks support
On the other hand, Hummingbird provides the following key features:
- Current and future optimizations implemented in neural network frameworks
- Native hardware acceleration
- Convert your trained traditional ML models into PyTorch
Keras is an open source tool with 48.6K GitHub stars and 18.3K GitHub forks. Here's a link to Keras's open source repository on GitHub.
