Amazon Announces MXNet as Deep Learning Framework of Choice at AWS
Amazon’s Werner Vogels announced last week that the deep learning library MXNet would be their officially adopted deep learning framework, and that AWS would contribute to its long-term success through increased open-source code contributions, improved documentation, and supporting tools for visualization, development and migration from other frameworks. Vogels noted the class of Machine learning known as deep learning increasingly addresses a range of computing tasks where programming explicit algorithms is infeasible. These are domains like fraud detection, recommendation pipelines, inventory and product review auditing. Machine leaning is also extensively used in search, autonomous drones, robotics in fulfillment centers, text and speech recognition. Vogels noted three factors used to consider deep learning framework choices; the ability to scale, development speed, and portability. Some of the deep learning packages Amazon evaluated, and that are supported…
