So I wanted to get into ML using Python recently and I was wondering about which ML library I should learn as a ML beginner first. I’ve been using Python for a few years now.

    I personally think Keras has a nice and intuitive high level API for getting into nueral networks, but Pytorch is definitely the most prominent library. If your going to start somewhere you’re not going to regret learning Pytorch.

    That being said, as others have mentioned, if you want to be a good data scientist or ML practioner learning the basics is never a bad idea. Sklearn is still the best library for a lot of ML tasks and is good to be familiar with.

    There are a couple of good books out there that start off with the basics using numpy, pandas, Sklearn and build up to nueral networks/deep learning. I’ve use this one in the past https://www.amazon.com/Machine-Learning-PyTorch-Scikit-Learn-learning/dp/1801819319.
