1. The state of Machine Learning Frameworks: In 2019, the war for ML frameworks has two remaining main contenders: PyTorch and TensorFlow. Analysis from the article suggests that researchers are abandoning TensorFlow and flocking to PyTorch in droves. Meanwhile in industry, Tensorflow is currently the platform of choice. https://thegradient.pub/state-of-ml-frameworks-2019-pytorch-dominates-research-tensorflow-dominates-industry/
