AForge.NET vs. Accord.NET Framework vs. Python vs. ThirdAI Comparison Chart

The Accord.NET Framework is a .NET machine learning framework combined with audio and image processing libraries completely written in C#. It is a complete framework for building production-grade computer vision, computer audition, signal processing and statistics applications even for commercial use. A comprehensive set of sample applications provide a fast start to get up and running quickly, and an extensive documentation and wiki helps fill in the details.

ThirdAI (pronunciation: /THərd ī/ Third eye) is a cutting-edge Artificial intelligence startup carving scalable and sustainable AI. ThirdAI accelerator builds hash-based processing algorithms for training and inference with neural networks. The technology is a result of 10 years of innovation in finding efficient (beyond tensor) mathematics for deep learning. Our algorithmic innovation has demonstrated how we can make Commodity x86 CPUs 15x or faster than most potent NVIDIA GPUs for training large neural networks. The demonstration has shaken the common knowledge prevailing in the AI community that specialized processors like GPUs are significantly superior to CPUs for training neural networks. Our innovation would not only benefit current AI training by shifting to lower-cost CPUs, but it should also allow the “unlocking” of AI training workloads on GPUs that were not previously feasible.
