Chose IBM Machine Learning for z/OS
We have been using Microsoft Azure as a machine learning tool. But the challenges remain the same. These are all tools that you need a robust analysis before a decision on the tool. Unfortunately, the technology company cannot make that determination due to lack of core …
Keras
Chose Keras
As Keras is the high level API, so using Keras, we don't have to be bothered by the low level TensorFlow complexity, and we can reduce a lot coding and testing efforts.
Chose Keras
For beginners, I always recommend starting with Keras, because it's really easy to use and learn at first. There is not much pre-requisite for this to start with.
Chose Keras
Keras is much easier to learn as compared to TensorFlow. It also has a lot of built-in functionality that makes it much better than the alternatives.
Chose Keras
Keras is a good point where you can learn lots of things and also have hands-on experience. There is not much comparison of Keras with Tensorlow, as Keras is a wrapper library which supports TensorFlow and Theano as backends for computation. But once you have enough knowledge …
Chose Keras
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 …
Chose Keras
TensorFlow and Caffe are bit hard to learn but they give you power to implement everything by you own. But most of the time it is not required to implement our own algorithm, we can solve the problem with just using the already provided algorithms. As compared to TensorFlow and …

IBM Machine Learning for z/OSKeras
Likelihood to Recommend
IBM Watson Machine Learning is an AI-based scalable self-learning model for any type of business. It can be used to help any company automate repetitive tasks, predict future trends, and make data-driven decisions. I used it to predict stock prices based on certain variables. It works well, cost me nothing, and gives me the ability to create my own AI-based models that I can use for any purpose.

I would recommend it for use when anyone wants to quickly develop a neural network. Or if a user is solving any machine learning problem that includes deep learning. And this kind of problem will be like image recognition, face recognition, doing some text analysis using deep learning which includes LSTM or some other algorithm.

Pros
  • Good machine learning tool
  • Easy integration
Read full review
  • Implementing neural networks and deep learning models is easy with this.
  • Data processing is easy with Python and Keras. Keras helps a lot and has a good collection of functions to do data processing.
  • It has good integration with other devices like Android.

Cons
  • Proper usage of REST API documentation is missing.
  • Not localization friendly, cannot support regional or local language documents.
Read full review
  • I didn't face any issue so far.
  • The only thing, you can't modify everything in this. So it's not recommended for constructing highly optimised algorithms.

Support Rating
IBM had a hard time providing business level support. There were a lot of data scientists and technology experts but rarely a simple business person shows up. Also the way IBM operates IBM Consulting has competing priorities as compared to IBM Technology. This has resulted in a lot of confusion at the client's end.

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.

Unfortunately, the technology company cannot make that determination due to lack of core business understanding. Without that the project is doomed.

  • It helped me in learning the basic concept of deep learning by having hands-on experience.
  • It has helped us to implement our NN with very little time.
  • It doesn't give you the whole power to customize your neural network. If you want that then you have to shift to TensorFLow
