Neuralnetworksareomnipresentinnaturallanguageprocessing(NLP). We benchmark three popular Python frameworks (DyNet, TensorFlow, and Theano) on the standard NLP task of language modeling, and find that DyNet is significantly faster on this task. We also discuss other bottlenecks beyond performance, such as ease of use, that may impact the selection of a neural network framework.
