Decided

For data analysis, we choose a Python-based framework because of Python's simplicity as well as its large community and available supporting tools. We choose PyTorch over TensorFlow for our machine learning library because it has a flatter learning curve and it is easy to debug, in addition to the fact that our team has some existing experience with PyTorch. Numpy is used for data processing because of its user-friendliness, efficiency, and integration with other tools we have chosen. Finally, we decide to include Anaconda in our dev process because of its simple setup process to provide sufficient data science environment for our purposes. The trained model then gets deployed to the back end as a pickle.

Needs advice

I have just started learning some basic machine learning concepts. So which of the following frameworks is better to use: Keras / TensorFlow/PyTorch. I have prior knowledge in python(and even pandas), java, js and C. It would be nice if something could point out the advantages of one over the other especially in terms of resources, documentation and flexibility. Also, could someone tell me where to find the right resources or tutorials for the above frameworks? Thanks in advance, hope you are doing well!!

Review

Hello Amina, You need first to clearly identify the input data type (e.g. temporal data or not? seasonality or not?) and the analysis type (e.g., time series?, categories?, etc.). If you can answer these questions, that would be easier to help you identify the right tools (or Python libraries). If time series and Python, you have choice between Pendas/Statsmodels/Serima(x) (if seasonality) or deep learning techniques with Keras.

Good work, Philippe

Detailed Comparison

scikit-learn

Keras
Keras
PyTorch
PyTorch

scikit-learn is a Python module for machine learning built on top of SciPy and distributed under the 3-Clause BSD license.

Deep Learning library for Python. Convnets, recurrent neural networks, and more. Runs on TensorFlow or Theano. https://keras.io/

PyTorch is not a Python binding into a monolothic C++ framework. It is built to be deeply integrated into Python. You can use it naturally like you would use numpy / scipy / scikit-learn etc.

What are some alternatives to scikit-learn, Keras, PyTorch?

TensorFlow

TensorFlow

TensorFlow is an open source software library for numerical computation using data flow graphs. Nodes in the graph represent mathematical operations, while the graph edges represent the multidimensional data arrays (tensors) communicated between them. The flexible architecture allows you to deploy computation to one or more CPUs or GPUs in a desktop, server, or mobile device with a single API.

Kubeflow

Kubeflow

The Kubeflow project is dedicated to making Machine Learning on Kubernetes easy, portable and scalable by providing a straightforward way for spinning up best of breed OSS solutions.

TensorFlow.js

TensorFlow.js

Use flexible and intuitive APIs to build and train models from scratch using the low-level JavaScript linear algebra library or the high-level layers API

Polyaxon

Polyaxon

An enterprise-grade open source platform for building, training, and monitoring large scale deep learning applications.

Streamlit

Streamlit

It is the app framework specifically for Machine Learning and Data Science teams. You can rapidly build the tools you need. Build apps in a dozen lines of Python with a simple API.

MLflow

MLflow

MLflow is an open source platform for managing the end-to-end machine learning lifecycle.

H2O

H2O

H2O.ai is the maker behind H2O, the leading open source machine learning platform for smarter applications and data products. H2O operationalizes data science by developing and deploying algorithms and models for R, Python and the Sparkling Water API for Spark.

PredictionIO

PredictionIO

PredictionIO is an open source machine learning server for software developers to create predictive features, such as personalization, recommendation and content discovery.

Gluon
