XGBoost vs Neuropod: What are the differences?
Developers describe XGBoost as "Scalable and Flexible Gradient Boosting". Scalable, Portable and Distributed Gradient Boosting (GBDT, GBRT or GBM) Library, for Python, R, Java, Scala, C++ and more. Runs on single machine, Hadoop, Spark, Flink and DataFlow. On the other hand, Neuropod is detailed as "Uber ATG's open source deep learning inference engine". It is a library that provides a uniform interface to run deep learning models from multiple frameworks in C++ and Python. It makes it easy for researchers to build models in a framework of their choosing while also simplifying productionization of these models.
XGBoost can be classified as a tool in the "Python Build Tools" category, while Neuropod is grouped under "Machine Learning Tools".
Some of the features offered by XGBoost are:
- Flexible
- Portable
- Multiple Languages
On the other hand, Neuropod provides the following key features:
- Run models from any supported framework using one API
- Build generic tools and pipelines
- Fully self-contained models
XGBoost is an open source tool with 19.2K GitHub stars and 7.55K GitHub forks. Here's a link to XGBoost's open source repository on GitHub.
