PyTorch vs Torch: What are the differences?

What is PyTorch? A deep learning framework that puts Python first. 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 is Torch? An open-source machine learning library and a script language based on the Lua programming language. It is easy to use and efficient, thanks to an easy and fast scripting language, LuaJIT, and an underlying C/CUDA implementation.

PyTorch and Torch can be categorized as "Machine Learning" tools.

PyTorch is an open source tool with 31.4K GitHub stars and 7.71K GitHub forks. Here's a link to PyTorch's open source repository on GitHub.

        What are some alternatives to PyTorch and Torch?
        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.
        Keras
        Deep Learning library for Python. Convnets, recurrent neural networks, and more. Runs on TensorFlow or Theano. https://keras.io/
        Caffe2
        Caffe2 is deployed at Facebook to help developers and researchers train large machine learning models and deliver AI-powered experiences in our mobile apps. Now, developers will have access to many of the same tools, allowing them to run large-scale distributed training scenarios and build machine learning applications for mobile.
        MXNet
        A deep learning framework designed for both efficiency and flexibility. It allows you to mix symbolic and imperative programming to maximize efficiency and productivity. At its core, it contains a dynamic dependency scheduler that automatically parallelizes both symbolic and imperative operations on the fly.
        scikit-learn
        scikit-learn is a Python module for machine learning built on top of SciPy and distributed under the 3-Clause BSD license.
