Advice on PredictionIO, Leaf, TensorFlow

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

PredictionIO

Leaf
Leaf
TensorFlow
TensorFlow

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

Leaf is a Machine Intelligence Framework engineered by software developers, not scientists. It was inspired by the brilliant people behind TensorFlow, Torch, Caffe, Rust and numerous research papers and brings modularity, performance and portability to deep learning. Leaf is lean and tries to introduce minimal technical debt to your stack.

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.

Integrated with state-of-the-art machine learning algorithms. Fine-tune, evaluate and implement them scientifically.;Customize the modularized open codebase to fulfill any unique prediction requirement.;Built on top of scalable frameworks such as Hadoop and Cascading. Ready to handle data of any scale.;Build powerful features in minutes, not months. Streamline the data engineering process.
