    Chose TensorFlow

    Theano is a Python library and is good for making algorithms from scratch. It is an alternative to Tensor flow. We used tensor flow because it is open source Java source and easy to learn and use.

    TensorFlow is developed and maintained by Google. It's the engine behind a lot of …

    Chose TensorFlow
    I have used Theano to develop machine learning models, like writing the neural network. TensorFlow has reinforcement learning support and lot more algorithms while Theano does come with lots of prebuilt tools. TensorFlow provides data visualisation tools and it is possible to …

    Chose TensorFlow
    One major advantage of TensorFlow over Keras and other deep learning libraries is that it is the most powerful. It gives you power to write your own full customised algorithm that is not available in Keras. And it is fast too as compared to another tool as it can perform better …

    Perfect for small companies. Very user friendly in my opinion. I have never had many troubles using this program and when I do the customer support seems to always know how to fix it.

    TensorFlow is great for most deep learning purposes. This is especially true in two domains: 1. Computer vision: image classification, object detection and image generation via generative adversarial networks 2. Natural language processing: text classification and generation. The good community support often means that a lot of off-the-shelf models can be used to prove a concept or test an idea quickly. That, and Google's promotion of Colab means that ideas can be shared quite freely. Training, visualizing and debugging models is very easy in TensorFlow, compared to other platforms (especially the good old Caffe days). In terms of productionizing, it's a bit of a mixed bag. In our case, most of our feature building is performed via Apache Spark. This means having to convert Parquet (columnar optimized) files to a TensorFlow friendly format i.e., protobufs. The lack of good JVM bindings mean that our projects end up being a mix of Python and Scala. This makes it hard to reuse some of the tooling and support we wrote in Scala. This is where MXNet shines better (though its Scala API could do with more work).

    • A vast library of functions for all kinds of tasks - Text, Images, Tabular, Video etc.
    • Amazing community helps developers obtain knowledge faster and get unblocked in this active development space.
    • Integration of high-level libraries like Keras and Estimators make it really simple for a beginner to get started with neural network based models.

    • RNNs are still a bit lacking, compared to Theano.
    • Cannot handle sequence inputs
    • Theano is perhaps a bit faster and eats up less memory than TensorFlow on a given GPU, perhaps due to element-wise ops. Tensorflow wins for multi-GPU and “compilation” time.

    Community support for TensorFlow is great. There's a huge community that truly loves the platform and there are many examples of development in TensorFlow. Often, when a new good technique is published, there will be a TensorFlow implementation not long after. This makes it quick to ally the latest techniques from academia straight to production-grade systems. Tooling around TensorFlow is also good. TensorBoard has been such a useful tool, I can't imagine how hard it would be to debug a deep neural network gone wrong without TensorBoard.

    Keras is built on top of TensorFlow, but it is much simpler to use and more Python style friendly, so if you don't want to focus on too many details or control and not focus on some advanced features, Keras is one of the best options, but as far as if you want to dig into more, for sure TensorFlow is the right choice

    • Learning is s bit difficult takes lot of time.
    • Developing or implementing the whole neural network is time consuming with this, as you have to write everything.
    • Once you have learned this, it make your job very easy of getting the good result.
