• tight integration with NumPy – Use numpy.ndarray in Theano-compiled functions.
• transparent use of a GPU – Perform data-intensive computations much faster than on a CPU.
• efficient symbolic differentiation – Theano does your derivatives for functions with one or many inputs.
• speed and stability optimizations – Get the right answer for log(1+x) even when x is really tiny.
• dynamic C code generation – Evaluate expressions faster.
• extensive unit-testing and self-verification – Detect and diagnose many types of errors.

 

 

 

 

 

Keras (Python Deep Learning Library)

Keras is a high-level neural networks API, written in Python and capable of running on top of TensorFlow, CNTK, or Theano. It was developed with a focus on enabling fast experimentation. Being able to go from idea to result with the least possible delay is key to doing good research.

Use Keras if you need a deep learning library that:

• Allows for easy and fast prototyping (through user friendliness, modularity, and extensibility).
• Supports both convolutional networks and recurrent networks, as well as combinations of the two.
• Runs seamlessly on CPU and GPU.
