Thanks for mentioning tensorpack, looks very interesting!

VergeML is not a library, it is a (command line) tool which lets you drop images in a directory and type 'ml train' in the most basic case.

You would use VergeML to quickly train with everyday datasets.

VergeML is framework agnostic, there will be model implementations in pure TensorFlow ("closer to the metal") and other libraries. Keras is a very good fit for the classifier based on transfer learning from ImageNet. It provides a lot of functionality and good training performance.
