A wonderful machine learning library

5.0 2 years ago

Pros:

Note that the Lua version is unmaintained - only the Python and R libraries still receive maintenance. That said, Torch is a wonderful library for using tensors and other objects in machine learning. Very convenient tools and functions for implementing algorithms and whatnot.

Cons:

As said, the Lua version is unmaintained. The R version also is missing many features from PyTorch. The Python version, however, is top of the line.

My favorite deeplearning framework

4.0 4 years ago

Comments: Used this framework for machine learning applications mostly image classifications

Pros:

Since the introduction of pytorch framework, i have been using it more extensively compared to other frameworks like tensorflow and the rest. Pytorch has one of the most beautifully designed documentation page , it aslo comes with lots of pretrained convolutional neural networks architectures (CNN) which i use extensively.

Cons:

supports only nividia GPU for faster computations as cuda only supports nividia.

Torch LMS review

3.0 last year

Comments: One of the best customer experiences I have had with any vendor. Until they were bought out.

Pros:

Easy to use for both admins and end users.

Cons:

The system isnt as robust as other learning management systems. It’s good for small companies who don’t have a lot of time and smaller audiences.

Deep Learning made easy with Pytorch

4.0 4 years ago

Comments: I enjoyed using pytorch to learn and build deep learning models

Pros:

Pytorch is quite easy to use. There is a large support community.

Cons:

Doesn't integrate well with scikitlearn. Its not made for production mainly for learning.
