What is it about?
This study explores how different programming languages (bindings) affect machine learning models in TensorFlow and PyTorch. We examined the impact on accuracy and time efficiency when using bindings like C#, Rust, and JavaScript compared to the default Python. The findings show that while accuracy remains consistent, training and inference times can vary significantly. This research helps developers choose the best binding for their needs, enhancing performance and efficiency in machine learning applications.

Why is it important?
This is the first study to systematically analyze how non-Python bindings for TensorFlow and PyTorch impact machine learning software quality. It reveals that non-default bindings can improve time efficiency without losing accuracy, offering valuable insights for developers to optimize their projects. This research is timely as it addresses the growing need to integrate machine learning into applications written in various programming languages.
Perspectives
This article highlights the practical implications of using different language bindings and opens up new avenues for future research in optimizing machine learning workflows.
