3 Best Frameworks For Machine Learning || UNIV_TECHS



     If you are a beginner, check out our articles on ”Machine learning crash course” and “Machine learning specialization course”.

     Each of these Frameworks is different from each other and takes much time to learn, during the time of making this list we took care of features other than the basic ones, User base and community & support was one of the most important parameters. Some frameworks are more mathematically oriented, and hence geared more towards statistical than neural networks. Some of them provide a rich set of linear algebra tools; some are mainly focused only on deep learning.

1. TensorFlow


TensorFlow an open source software library for data-based programming across a range of tasks, which was developed by Google Brain team and initially released on 9th of November 2015, though the stable release was made available only on 27th of April this year. It is capable of doing regressions, classifications, neural networks, etc. very effectively and is even capable of running both on CPUs and GPUs. TensorFlow is hard to grasp at early stages due to its complex functions, as the user would need to understand Numpy arrays well. Numpy is a Python framework which helps in working with n-dimensional arrays.

Advantages of Tensor Flow:

  • Flexibility: It is a highly flexible system that provides users with multiple models and versions of the same model which can be served simultaneously. This flexibility helps in non-automatic migration to newer versions.
  • Portability: It runs on GPUs, CPUs, desktops, servers, and mobile computing platforms. You can deploy a trained model on your mobile as a part of your product, and that’s how it serves as a true portability feature.
  • Research and development
  • Auto differentiation
  • Performance

 

2. Apache Spark

Spark is an open source cluster-computing framework originally developed at Berkeley’s lab and was initially released on 26th of May 2014, It is majorly written in Scala, Java, Python and R. though produced in Berkery’s lab at University of California it was later donated to Apache Software Foundation.
Spark core is basically the foundation for this project, This is complicated too, but instead of worrying about Numpy arrays it lets you work with its own Spark RDD data structures, which anyone in knowledge with big data would understand its uses. As a user, we could also work with Spark SQL data frames. With all these features it creates dense and sparks feature label vectors for you thus carrying away much complexity to feed to ML algorithms
Advantages of Spark ML:
  • Simplicity: Simple APIs familiar to data scientists coming from tools like R and Python
  • Scalability: Ability to run same ML code on small as well as big machines
  • Streamlined end to end
  • Compatibility


3. Caffe

Caffe is an open source framework under a BSD license. CAFFE(Convolutional Architecture for Fast Feature Embedding) is a deep learning tool which was developed by UC Berkeley, this framework is mainly written in CPP. It supports many different types of architectures for deep learning focusing mainly on image classification and segmentation. It supports almost all major schemes and is fully connected neural network designs, it offers GPU as well as CPU based acceleration as well like TensorFlow.
CAFFE is mainly used in the academic research projects and to design startups Prototypes. Even Yahoo has integrated caffe with Apache Spark to create CaffeOnSpark, another great deep learning framework.

Advantages of Caffe Framework:

  • Caffe is one of the fastest ways to apply deep neural networks to the problem
  • Supports out of box GPU training
  • Pretty well organized Mat lab and python interface
  • Switch between CPU and GPU by setting a single flag to train on a GPU machine then deploy to commodity clusters or mobile devices.

Apple’s 'Create ML' || Univ_Techs

Image
      Apple announced a new feature for developers called Create ML . It Create machine learning models for use in your app. Create ML is a machine learning framework in Swift which can be used to train the machine learning models using native Apple technologies like Swift, Xcode, and Other Apple frameworks. This means machine learning is possible within Apple ecosystem without any third-party service.  Create ML technology has following features,.. A simple approach for training the model using images, texts, and tabular data Models still can be trained using complex algorithm if you are expert Machine learning models can be created using Xcode Playground, Swift, and native Apple framework The process of creating and training module can be automated using Swift scripts.      You train a model to recognize patterns by showing it representative samples. For example, you can train a model to recognize dogs by showing it lots of images of different dogs. A

     ML Kit is a mobile SDK that brings Google's machine learning expertise to Android and iOS apps in a powerful yet easy-to-use package. Whether you're new or experienced in machine learning, you can implement the functionality you need in just a few lines of code. There's no need to have deep knowledge of neural networks or model optimization to get started. On the other hand, if you are an experienced ML developer, ML Kit provides convenient APIs that help you use your custom TensorFlow Lite models in your mobile apps.      At Google I/O'18 developer conference in May, Google introduced ML Kit, a cross-platform suite of machine learning tools for the Firebase mobile development platform. ML Kit uses the Neural Network API on Android devices and is designed to compress and optimize machine learning models for mobile devices.  It brings Google’s machine learning expertise to mobile developers in a powerful and easy-to-use package. ML Kit makes
