Known weaknesses

Each one links to the public issue, changelog or docs page it came from, where we have one.

1. 01

   Limited machine learning algorithms and models

   Emel provides only basic functionalities for common tasks such as regression, classification, and clustering. Advanced ML techniques like deep learning or reinforcement learning are not supported.

2. 02

   Small community and limited support

   As an open-source project with a niche focus on Elixir, Emel has a relatively small user base which can result in slower development pace and fewer contributions or bug fixes.

3. 03

   Performance limitations for large datasets

   Due to its lightweight design and reliance on Elixir's processes, Emel may not be optimal for handling very large datasets or computationally intensive tasks compared to more specialized frameworks like TensorFlow or PyTorch.

4. 04

   Limited third-party integrations and ecosystem support

   Emel is relatively new in the ML space, which means that it has fewer integrations with other tools and libraries compared to more established frameworks. This can limit its utility for complex projects.
