ML Libraries

TensorFlow 2:

• Popular, big community, fast, by Google, works with CPU, GPU, TPU
• Recommended!

PyTorch:

• Somehow wrong design, activation functions should be inside layers
• Recommended if accepting the wrong design.

Chainer:

• Similar to PyTorch, Japanese library, mostly only Japanese people use.

Theano:

• In maintenance mode, no longer development.
• Avoid using this library, no longer active.

CNTK:

• Works with Ubuntu 16 only, relies on a lib that exists only on Ubuntu 16, or build the lib by oneself otherwise.
• Is Microsoft abandoning this lib? should work out-of-the-box on any platform.
