Project Title
keras — Deep Learning Framework for Accelerated Model Development
Overview
Keras is a multi-backend deep learning framework designed to accelerate model development and training. It supports JAX, TensorFlow, PyTorch, and OpenVINO, allowing developers to build and train models for various applications like computer vision, natural language processing, and more. Keras stands out for its high-level UX, state-of-the-art performance, and ability to scale from laptops to large clusters of GPUs or TPUs.
Key Features
- Multi-backend support for JAX, TensorFlow, PyTorch, and OpenVINO
- High-level UX for accelerated model development
- State-of-the-art performance with speedups up to 350% compared to other frameworks
- Scalability from laptops to large clusters of GPUs or TPUs
Use Cases
- Startups and enterprises building computer vision, natural language processing, and audio processing models
- Timeseries forecasting and recommender systems development
- Leveraging the power of Keras for model predictions using the OpenVINO inference-only backend
Advantages
- Easy-to-debug runtimes like PyTorch or JAX eager execution
- Drop-in replacement for
tf.keras
with TensorFlow backend - Ability to consume datasets in any format, regardless of the backend used
Limitations / Considerations
- OpenVINO backend is inference-only, designed for running model predictions
- Backend must be configured before importing
keras
, and cannot be changed after package import - Certain preprocessing layers and
tf.data
pipelines requiretensorflow
backend
