Python scikit-learn vs Tensor-flow

For those familiar with both scikit-learn and tensor, I will like to know which is better for Machine Learning (ML) especially in the area of Robotics and Automation. Thank you.

Well Scikit Learn is like the Swiss Army knife of the Machine Learning world, its easy to get up and running with, just stick to the 4 principles: import, instantiate, fit, predict. Keras, which is another powerful library was built upon Tensorflow, and I also like Tensorflow because it gives more granular control allowing you to take advantage of hardware GPUs, algorithm optimization, etc. I like both, they both have their place. Generally speaking, if you can make it in SciKit Learn, you can probably make it better with Tensorflow.

That sounds great. I have already completed the Machine Learning in sololearn. But I am wondering if I still need to learn tensorflow. It sounds like I should add the tensorflow.

Tensorflow is a deep learning framework which is used for large scale projects, typically large Neural Networks, performing complex parallel computations... I say do it, watch a few tutorials, maybe hop over to Kaggle.com and play with it over there. One problem with Tensorflow is it can become a resource hog, this might be why it is not available here on Sololearn
