The benefits of using MXNet over the other packages supporting neural networks such as KNet.jl, Flux.jl, or Tensorflow.jl are the following:
- Requires little experience in both Julia and deep learning
- A large number of pre-trained models and weights
- Has GPU support
- One of the fastest frameworks out there on the market
- Backed by Amazon and Microsoft
- Lastly, it is actively used in production
All of these benefits offer you a privilege so that you can develop a high-performance model in Julia and any time in the process port it to C++, Python, or R and run it in AWS, Azure, or Google.
