Hugging Face vs. IBM Watson Natural Language Understanding

Hugging Face is an excellent starting point when working on NLP projects; it is also great for prototyping and developing pipelines for NLP tasks, being those tasks general like embedding representation or specific, like SQUAD models and datasets. It needs more phonetic models or datasets to be as advantageous in that regard.

IBM Watson Natural Language Understanding is a Swiss Army knife that can be used in many scenarios. An extensive list of easy to use APIs is provided making it very easy to integrate it in any environment. The text analysis is decent and above market average. It generates results in many forms to suit may scenarios (important keywords, concepts, sentiment analysis, etc.).

Incentivized

• Has access to hundreds of models useful for any NLP usecase.
• Gives better accuracy on prediction tasks.
• Easy to test the model in the website itself to check the accuracy without actually implementing it.
• Has many algorithms for all the prediction problems.

Incentivized

• Easy to use and extensive APIs.
• Decent accuracy.
• It recognizes concepts and semantic roles.

Incentivized

• Most of the Hugging face models are of big size, hence difficult to work if there is no access to high computational system like GPU.
• It’s good to have some visualization tool in hugging face for viewing model architecture.
• I recommend to implement hugging face lite version so that it can run on any system with less specifications.

Incentivized

• Improve Sentiment Analysis accuracy.
• Prevent having conflicting results (sad and happy, etc.).
• Foreign names detection.

Incentivized

Hugging face is the latest technology built using transformers hence it gives better performance than other similar products.

Incentivized

• Reduced the time spent drastically in building complex transformer models
• Very quick deployment of demo apps, that reduces the time spent on making UIs

Incentivized

• Reduced development time.
• Increased solution efficiency in understanding the user.
• Increased solution scalability.
