Keras vs. Kortical

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

Kortical is really widely applicable to many use cases, although it doesn't handle images or video it is great to help you build really great ML models without needing to plan ahead what you are going to try, you let the platform build you the best model. It is suited to beginner and more advanced data scientists as you can edit the code to narrow the search space which makes model creation more you build it without AutoML. Hosting the model behind an API that is ready to go is great as it saves so much time vs doing that dev work from scratch

• 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.

• The NLP models results were much better than the ones that we did outside of the platform.
• It is really easy and quick to build a good model with a lot of the manual boring tasks all done automatically like one hot encoding, etc.
• Kortical shows the features and their importance for any model type as part of the platform which is great for understanding the models.

• 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

• It would be ideal to have Jupyter built into the platform, they say it is coming.
• Also while it is easy to use, at the start it would have been helpful to have more help guides.

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.

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.

Their support is great as we use Slack and we have our own channel and they always respond really quickly. Data Science support is available to help unblock you as well as dev support as we're setting up the data feeds. It would be great if there were more FAQ or self-help guides in the platform but the personal touch is also really appreciated and probably gets us there quicker anyway.

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.

• 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.

• ROI is great as what we would spend on compute we get the AutoML for essentially the same price so it is cost neutral as Kortical comes with compute built-in.
• The results mean that we can automate so much more than our previous model so that is key to the positive ROI.
• The platform auto trains new models and lets us know when there is a better model so it has saved a lot of time so we can focus on new business problems to solve with ML.
