It describes neural networks as a series of computational steps via a directed graph. CNTK allows the user to easily realize and combine popular model types such as feed-forward DNNs, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and recurrent neural networks (RNNs/LSTMs). CNTK implements stochastic gradient descent (SGD, error backpropagation) learning with automatic differentiation and parallelization across multiple GPUs and servers. CNTK can be included as a library in your Python, C#, or C++ programs, or used as a standalone machine-learning tool through its own model description language (BrainScript). In addition you can use the CNTK model evaluation functionality from your Java programs. CNTK supports 64-bit Linux or 64-bit Windows operating systems. To install you can either choose pre-compiled binary packages, or compile the toolkit from the source provided in GitHub.

	Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros Microsoft Cognitive focus on successful and efficient business Operations. The developer ensures a professional team of support players, ready with answers for the software. Rational features, with high updates and stability. Open Source Beginner friendly Cross platform ( Windows , Linux ) Decent documentation Good community support Microsoft Cognitive Toolkit is a good open source tool for beginners to get started with Machine learning even with minimal coding experience. It supports multiple languages and can be setup on Windows or Linux. It has a decent developer community, there are a lot of projects and guides on Github. Cons Unfortunately, Microsoft Cognitive lacks flexibility, and it is also expensive, slightly. Rationalization of the software should be enhanced. No cons, it is a great toolkit and can be used for beginners and intermediates alike. It may seem daunting for newcomers, it would be better if it had a more user friendly documentation.
