The adoption and advantages of Keras

Keras is widely used by industry and research, as shown in the following diagram. The Power Score rankings were devised by Jeff Hale, who used 11 data sources across 7 distinct categories to gauge framework usage, interest, and popularity. Then, he weighted and combined the data as shown in this Medium article from September 2018: https://towardsdatascience.com/deep-learning-framework-power-scores-2018-23607ddf297a:

Keras has a number of advantages, including the following:

  • It's designed for both new users and experts alike, offering consistent and simple APIs
  • It's user friendly with a simple, consistent interface that is optimized for common use cases
  • It provides excellent feedback for user errors that is are easily understood and often accompanied by helpful advice
  • It's modular and composable; models in Keras are constructed...
