Deep learning frameworks

One of the primary reasons for the widespread popularity and adoption of deep learning is the Python deep learning ecosystem, which consists of easy-to-use open source deep learning frameworks. However, the deep learning landscape is rapidly changing, considering how new frameworks keep getting launched and older ones reach the end of their life. Deep learning enthusiasts might know that Theano was the first and most popular deep learning framework, created by MILA (https://mila.quebec/), which was headed by Yoshua Bengio. Unfortunately, it was recently announced that further development and support for Theano is ending after the launch of its latest version (1.0) in 2017. Hence, it is of paramount importance to understand what frameworks are out there that can be leveraged to implement and solve deep learning. Another point to remember here is that several...
