Microsoft Cognitive Toolkit vs TensorFlow: What are the differences?

Developers describe Microsoft Cognitive Toolkit as "An open-source toolkit for deep learning". It is an open-source toolkit for commercial-grade distributed deep learning. It describes neural networks as a series of computational steps via a directed graph. On the other hand, TensorFlow is detailed as "Open Source Software Library for Machine Intelligence". 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.

Microsoft Cognitive Toolkit and TensorFlow can be categorized as "Machine Learning" tools.

Microsoft Cognitive Toolkit is an open source tool with 16.3K GitHub stars and 4.34K GitHub forks. Here's a link to Microsoft Cognitive Toolkit's open source repository on GitHub.

      What are some alternatives to Microsoft Cognitive Toolkit and TensorFlow?
      PyTorch
      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.
      scikit-learn
      scikit-learn is a Python module for machine learning built on top of SciPy and distributed under the 3-Clause BSD license.
      Keras
      Deep Learning library for Python. Convnets, recurrent neural networks, and more. Runs on TensorFlow or Theano. https://keras.io/
      CUDA
      A parallel computing platform and application programming interface model,it enables developers to speed up compute-intensive applications by harnessing the power of GPUs for the parallelizable part of the computation.
      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.
