skweak VS django-ninja

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Seems like there’s a few other approaches with weak supervision: https://github.com/NorskRegnesentral/skweak

Hi Raza here, one of the other co-founders.

I know that HN likes to nerd out over technical details so thought I’d share a bit more on how we aggregate the noisy labels to clean them up.

At the moment we use the great Skweak [1] open source library to do this. Skweak uses an HMM to infer the most likely unobserved label given the evidence of the votes from each of the labelling functions.

This whole strategy of first training a label model and then training a neural net was pioneered by Snorkel. We’ve used this approach for now but we actually think there are big opportunities for improvement.

We’re working on an end-to-end approach that de-noises the labelling function and trains the model at the same time. So far we’ve seen improvements on the standard benchmarks [2] and are planning to submit to Neurips.

skweak.

For more advanced unsupervised labeling, you should check skweak

I'm the main developer behind skweak by the way, happy to hear you're interested in our toolkit :-) We do already have a small list of products (see https://github.com/NorskRegnesentral/skweak/blob/main/data/products.json) extracted from DBPedia and Wikidata, but it may not be exactly the type of products you're looking for.

Django Ninja [1], it forever changed how I write Django project, in a way so elegant and productive.

Django Ninja is a RESTful wrapper for Django, while UtilMeta Python Framework uses a more concise declarative ORM Schema for Django and other future-supporting ORMs like sqlachemy and Peewee to build RESTful APIs more efficiently, and supports not only Django but all Python mainstream frameworks like Django, Flask, Starlette, FastAPI, Sanic, Tornado, etc.

I can't recommend [django-ninja](https://github.com/vitalik/django-ninja) enough. It's an easy to use, extremely fast, typed API for django. I've found it to be better in almost all aspects when compared to djangorestframework.

It's gaining popularity but is still widely unknown.

This is not a bad thing. Using Django as an API backend is amazingly fast in terms of development time, especially with modern frameworks such as django-ninja [1].

Just use the built-in ORM to create models, write your endpoints, and use the built-in admin interface to play with the database if you don't have endpoints for everything.

There is also a less known feature of Django called admindocs [2], which automatically generates a human readable, hyperlinked documentation for your models and relations between them.

Personally, I also prefer django-ninja to DRF.

Actually that's not fully true. If you mix async and sync codes in django-ninja there will be some errors. Where's the proof ? django-ninja doesn't support async auth

Subscribe to this issue :D

Also recommend Django-Ninja. It basically reimplements fastapi's type and decorator-based API construction, but embedded directly in django so you have access to django's ORM and middleware library.
