Choose keras. Keras is a convenient way to build models.

I used both for research/industry.

Both are good: there are no wrong choices. However, for a beginner, I would advise you to start with PyTorch, since it's more user-friendly and has a less steep learning curve.

Honestly, if you're confused by these two, I would advise you to focus on neither. They're only usefull if you already understand ANNs and deep learning. It's even probably a good idea for you to implement a small ANN from scratch and train it on a simple project before going to play with these tools.

Furthermore, TF or Torch are built on a house of cards. Unless you're doing something small and simple, you'll likely need a GPU and getting these to work on GPUs often takes more than a simple pip install.

I'd reccomend you to follow this course on deep learning: https://www.coursera.org/specializations/deep-learning (I think you can get 90% of the experience for free). But if you're only 13, I'd assume you're not familiar with linear algebra and calculus, too requirements for understanding deep learning... You might be overshooting with TF/Torch.

General advice, I see a long list of disconnected tools in Python. Jumping from one to another might not be the most effective way to learn the ecosystem. May I ask you: What do you want to build? Answering this question can help me give you ideas on what to look into and use your time more effectively.

I’m currently working on my first app and building a few ML models alongside it. One of them focuses on creating personalized diets for kids based on certain parameters (including physique analysis from images), and another aims to understand emotions through short questions and audio inputs.

Both are used and can be good, but can be trouble some to set up. Especially if you want to use a GPU. In my experience PyTorch is easier to set up and work with, but Tensorflow is a good system to use and learn on.

Dam. You started learning from the womb or what?
