Aerosolve vs Keras: What are the differences?
Developers describe Aerosolve as "A machine learning package built for humans (created by Airbnb)". This library is meant to be used with sparse, interpretable features such as those that commonly occur in search (search keywords, filters) or pricing (number of rooms, location, price). It is not as interpretable with problems with very dense non-human interpretable features such as raw pixels or audio samples. On the other hand, Keras is detailed as "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/.
Aerosolve and Keras can be primarily classified as "Machine Learning" tools.
Some of the features offered by Aerosolve are:
- A thrift based feature representation that enables pairwise ranking loss and single context multiple item representation.
- A feature transform language gives the user a lot of control over the features
- Human friendly debuggable models
On the other hand, Keras provides the following key features:
- neural networks API
- Allows for easy and fast prototyping
- Convolutional networks support
Aerosolve and Keras are both open source tools. It seems that Keras with 42.5K GitHub stars and 16.2K forks on GitHub has more adoption than Aerosolve with 4.58K GitHub stars and 578 GitHub forks.
