Keras is a high level framework that runs on top of AI library such as Tensorflow, Theano, or CNTK. The key feature of Keras is that it allow to switch out the underlying library without performing any code changes. Keras contains commonly used neural-network building blocks such as layers, optimizer, activation functions etc and keras has support for convolutional and recurrent neural networks. In addition keras contains datasets and some pre-trained deep learnig applications that make it easier to learn for beginners. Essentially Keras is democrasting deep learning by reducing barrier into deep learning.
