Likelihood to Recommend I've created a number of daisy chain notebooks for different workflows, and every time, I create my workflows with other users in mind. Jupiter Notebook makes it very easy for me to outline my thought process in as granular a way as I want without using innumerable small. inline comments.
Read full review Keras is quite perfect, if the aim is to build the standard Deep Learning model, and materialize it to serve the real business use case, while it is not suitable if the purpose is for research and a lot of non-standard try out and customization are required, in that case either directly goes to low level
TensorFlow API or
Pytorch Read full review Pros Simple and elegant code writing ability. Easier to understand the code that way. The ability to see the output after each step. The ability to use ton of library functions in Python. Easy-user friendly interface. Read full review One of the reason to use Keras is that it is easy to use. Implementing neural network is very easy in this, with just one line of code we can add one layer in the neural network with all it's configurations. It provides lot of inbuilt thing like cov2d, conv2D, maxPooling layers. So it makes fast development as you don't need to write everything on your own. It comes with lot of data processing libraries in it like one hot encoder which also makes your development easy and fast. It also provides functionality to develop models on mobile device. Read full review Cons Need more Hotkeys for creating a beautiful notebook. Sometimes we need to download other plugins which messes [with] its default settings. Not as powerful as IDE, which sometimes makes [the] job difficult and allows duplicate code as it get confusing when the number of lines increases. Need a feature where [an] error comes if duplicate code is found or [if a] developer tries the same function name. Read full review As it is a kind of wrapper library it won't allow you to modify everything of its backend Unlike other deep learning libraries, it lacks a pre-defined trained model to use Errors thrown are not always very useful for debugging. Sometimes it is difficult to know the root cause just with the logs Read full review Usability Jupyter is highly simplistic. It took me about 5 mins to install and create my first "hello world" without having to look for help. The UI has minimalist options and is quite intuitive for anyone to become a pro in no time. The lightweight nature makes it even more likeable.
Read full review I am giving this rating depending on my experience so far with Keras, I didn't face any issue far. I would like to recommend it to the new developers.
Read full review Support Rating I haven't had a need to contact support. However, all required help is out there in public forums.
Read full review Keras have really good support along with the strong community over the internet. So in case you stuck, It won't so hard to get out from it.
Read full review Alternatives Considered With Jupyter Notebook besides doing data analysis and performing complex visualizations you can also write machine learning algorithms with a long list of libraries that it supports. You can make better predictions, observations etc. with it which can help you achieve better business decisions and save cost to the company. It stacks up better as we know Python is more widely used than R in the industry and can be learnt easily. Unlike
PyCharm jupyter notebooks can be used to make documentations and exported in a variety of formats.
Read full review Keras is good to develop deep learning models. As compared to
TensorFlow , it's easy to write code in Keras. You have more power with
TensorFlow but also have a high error rate because you have to configure everything by your own. And as compared to
MATLAB , I will always prefer Keras as it is easy and powerful as well.
Read full review Return on Investment Positive impact: flexible implementation on any OS, for many common software languages Positive impact: straightforward duplication for adaptation of workflows for other projects Negative impact: sometimes encourages pigeonholing of data science work into notebooks versus extending code capability into software integration Read full review Easy and faster way to develop neural network. It would be much better if it is available in Java. It doesn't allow you to modify the internal things. Read full review ScreenShots
