Hugging Face vs. Pytorch

If an organisation has more access to data and have access to high end computers like GPUs it’s recommended to use Hugging face as it will give better accuracy than any other models. If an organisation having less data and has less access to GPUsis looking for decent performance then traditional algorithms are more appropriate than hugging face

They have created Pytorch Lightening on top of Pytorch to make the life of Data Scientists easy so that they can use complex models they need with just a few lines of code, so it's becoming popular. As compared to TensorFlow(Keras), where we can create custom neural networks by just adding layers, it's slightly complicated in Pytorch.

• Model APIs
• Hugging Face Spaces for deploying demo apps
• Latest updated models available easily
• Vast support for language parsing and other relevant tasks

Incentivized

• Provides Benchmark datasets to test your custom algorithm
• Provides with a lot of pre-coded neural net components to use for your flow
• Gives a framework to write really abstract code.

• Most of the Hugging face models are of big size, hence difficult to work if there is no access to high computational system like GPU.
• It’s good to have some visualization tool in hugging face for viewing model architecture.
• I recommend to implement hugging face lite version so that it can run on any system with less specifications.

Incentivized

• Distributed data parallel still seems to be complicated
• Support for easy deployment to servers
• Torchvision to have support for latest models with pertained weights

There are some other services offer similar capacity as to Hugging Face, but not entirely the same. For example, amazon web services have a machine learning service called Comprehend, which offer a set of easy to use APIs to do machine translation and entity recognition and some other common NLP use case.

As I described in previous statements, Pytorch is much better suited than TensorFlow from a software development look. This Pythonic idea was then taken and repeated by all the other frameworks. You can get to better performance models by better understanding the deep learning model code, so I think the choice of Pytorch is easy and simple.

• Hugging Face is cost and time saving.
• Pay is less, you pay what you use, doesn't affect much.
• Overall positive impact on business.

Incentivized

• I'd estimate I can build a model 50% faster on pytorch vs other frameworks
