The Anatomy of Deep Learning Frameworks

Deep Learning, whether you like it or not is here to stay, and with any tech gold-rush comes a plethora of options that can seem daunting to newcomers. If you were to start off with deep learning, one of the first questions to ask is, which framework to learn? I'd say instead of a simple trial-and-error, if you try to understand the building blocks of all these frameworks, it would help you make an informed decision. Common choices include Theano, TensorFlow, Torch, and Keras. All of these choices have their own pros and cons and have their own way of doing things.
