Hilarious Guide to Python Libraries: Meet the Machine Learning Family πŸ˜‚

πŸ“˜ CV (Computer Vision) β€” The Memory Book
CV is like your pre-written diary πŸ““ β€” storing memories, visuals, and moments. It holds the data of your world and helps you build thoughts, predictions, or even recognize your favorite dog filter 🐢.

πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘§ OpenCV β€” The Super Mom
She knows everything.

How many kids are in the frame (object detection) πŸ§’πŸ‘§
What they’re doing (video processing) πŸŽ₯
What they secretly like (filters, color detection) 🎨
And just like every mom, she’s open source… and still tells your dad everything even when you said,

β€œPlease don’t tell papa!” 😩

πŸ‘΄ TensorFlow β€” The Grandfather
Respected. Predictable. A little strict.
Everyone in the town knows him. He’s the backbone of the family and has seen things (like 500-layer neural networks).
Your dad (Deep Learning πŸ‘¨) depends on him. And when life gets hard… you go to Dadaji for advice.

πŸ§‘β€πŸŽ“ SimpleCV β€” The Curious Student
That’s us β€” the students, tinkerers, and weekend hackers.
We’re building object detection models like science fair projects πŸŽ“.
We may be open source, but our real power?

Showing off cool stuff we barely understand 😎

πŸ‘Ά Caffe β€” The Shy Kid
This little one doesn’t like to leave his parents πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘¦
But say β€œHi πŸ‘‹β€ and he instantly recognizes you β€” face, voice, and all.
A bit old-school, but he responds exactly how you’d expect.
Just… don’t ask him to learn new tricks πŸ˜…

πŸ§‘β€πŸ’» PyTorch β€” The Cool Older Sibling
Always there for you, fast, flexible, and helpful.
He gets your vibe.
You need object detection? βœ…
Image segmentation? βœ…
Confused by something? He explains it in plain English.

He’s the reason you can say:

β€œBro, I trained a model in one night.” πŸ”₯

πŸ‘Έ Keras β€” The Popular Bestie
Sweet. Simple. And everyone loves her.
Backed by a massive squad πŸ’…, she helps you build neural networks without crying into your keyboard.
She’s got your back in every ML project, and makes you look smart on GitHub 😏

πŸ€“ Detectron2 β€” The Nerdy Genius
You know that one friend who even corrects the teacher?
That’s him.
He detects objects, masks, poses β€” you name it 🧠
If you’re stuck, he’s the backend magician you secretly rely on during hackathons.

πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ Kociemba β€” The Problem Solver President
No one knows how he does it, but…
He solves problems(this library is used for Rubik’s Cubes) faster than you can say β€œmachine learning.”
He’s not flashy, but when you’re in a jam,

He saves the day like a true leader. πŸ§©πŸ’Ό

🧒 YOLO β€” The Reckless Genius
You Only Look Once.
That’s it.
One glance and boom β€” he knows everything.
He’s the YOLO swag guy in your friend circle who says:

β€œWhy overthink? Just detect it all in one go.” 😎πŸ’₯
