          Can you please advise which one to choose FastText Or Gensim, in terms of:

          1. Operability with ML Ops tools such as MLflow, Kubeflow, etc.
          2. Performance
          3. Customization of Intermediate steps
          4. FastText and Gensim both have the same underlying libraries
          5. Use cases each one tries to solve
          6. Unsupervised Vs Supervised dimensions
          7. Ease of Use.

          Please mention any other points that I may have missed here.

            Why we built an open source, distributed training framework for TensorFlow , Keras , and PyTorch:

            At Uber, we apply deep learning across our business; from self-driving research to trip forecasting and fraud prevention, deep learning enables our engineers and data scientists to create better experiences for our users.

            TensorFlow has become a preferred deep learning library at Uber for a variety of reasons. To start, the framework is one of the most widely used open source frameworks for deep learning, which makes it easy to onboard new users. It also combines high performance with an ability to tinker with low-level model details—for instance, we can use both high-level APIs, such as Keras, and implement our own custom operators using NVIDIA’s CUDA toolkit.

            Uber has introduced Michelangelo (https://eng.uber.com/michelangelo/), an internal ML-as-a-service platform that democratizes machine learning and makes it easy to build and deploy these systems at scale. In this article, we pull back the curtain on Horovod, an open source component of Michelangelo’s deep learning toolkit which makes it easier to start—and speed up—distributed deep learning projects with TensorFlow:

            (Direct GitHub repo: https://github.com/uber/horovod)

            In mid-2015, Uber began exploring ways to scale ML across the organization, avoiding ML anti-patterns while standardizing workflows and tools. This effort led to Michelangelo.

            Michelangelo consists of a mix of open source systems and components built in-house. The primary open sourced components used are HDFS, Spark, Samza, Cassandra, MLLib, XGBoost, and TensorFlow.
