Keras vs Xcessiv

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!!

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

For my company, we may need to classify image data. Keras provides a high-level Machine Learning framework to achieve this. Specifically, CNN models can be compactly created with little code. Furthermore, already well-proven classifiers are available in Keras, which could be used as Transfer Learning for our use case.

We chose Keras over PyTorch, another Machine Learning framework, as our preliminary research showed that Keras is more compatible with .js. You can also convert a PyTorch model into TensorFlow.js, but it seems that Keras needs to be a middle step in between, which makes Keras a better choice.
