With the abundance of deep learning frameworks available today, it can be difficult to know what to choose for any particular application. Given the contrasting strengths and weaknesses of these frameworks, the ability to work with and switch between more than one is particularly important. Recent Cloudera blogs have shown how examples of applying deep learning on the Cloudera ecosystem using popular frameworks Deeplearning4j, BigDL, and Keras+TensorFlow.

Understanding how Deep Learning learns to play SET®
In the past few years, deep learning has seen incredible success in image recognition applications. In this post I examine how to train a convolutional neural network to recognize playing card images from a game called SET®, explore the structure of the model to get some insight into what it is “seeing”, and present a webcam application that uses the deployed model in a near-realtime setting.
SET is a card game where the objective is to find triples of cards,
A Look at ADLS Performance – Throughput and Scalability
Overview
Azure Data Lake Store (ADLS) is a highly scalable cloud-based data store that is designed for collecting, storing and analyzing large amounts of data, and is ideal for enterprise-grade applications. Data can originate from almost any source, such as Internet applications and mobile devices; it is stored securely and durably, while being highly available in any geographic region. ADLS is performance-tuned for big data analytics and can be easily accessed from many components of the Apache Hadoop ecosystem,
