Class TensorflowTrainer<T extends Output<T>>

org.tribuo.interop.tensorflow.TensorflowTrainer<T>

All Implemented Interfaces:

public final class TensorflowTrainer<T extends Output<T>>
extends Object
implements Trainer<T>

Trainer for Tensorflow. Expects the underlying Tensorflow graph to have specific placeholders and targets listed below.

• TensorflowModel.INPUT_NAME - the input minibatch.
• TensorflowModel.OUTPUT_NAME - the predicted output.
• TARGET - the output to predict.
• TRAIN - the train function to run (usually a single step of SGD).
• TRAINING_LOSS - the loss tensor to extract for logging.
• EPOCH - the current epoch number, used for gradient scaling.
• IS_TRAINING - a boolean placeholder to turn on dropout or other training specific functionality.
• INIT - the function to initialise the graph.

This trainer only works with graphs setup for minibatches. To recover single example training just use a batch size of 1.

This trainer uses the serialisation functionality in TensorflowUtil, as opposed to a SavedModel or a checkpoint.

N.B. Tensorflow support is experimental and may change without a major version bump.

postConfig

public void postConfig()
                throws IOException

train

public Model<T> train(Dataset<T> examples,
 Map<String, com.oracle.labs.mlrg.olcut.provenance.Provenance> runProvenance)

Description copied from interface: Trainer

Trains a predictive model using the examples in the given data set.

Specified by:

train in interface Trainer<T extends Output<T>>

Parameters:

examples - the data set containing the examples.

runProvenance - Training run specific provenance (e.g., fold number).

Returns:

a predictive model that can be used to generate predictions for new examples.

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object

getInvocationCount

public int getInvocationCount()

Description copied from interface: Trainer

The number of times this trainer instance has had it's train method invoked.

This is used to determine how many times the trainer's RNG has been accessed to ensure replicability in the random number stream.

Specified by:

getInvocationCount in interface Trainer<T extends Output<T>>

Returns:

The number of train invocations.

getProvenance

public TrainerProvenance getProvenance()

Specified by:

getProvenance in interface com.oracle.labs.mlrg.olcut.provenance.Provenancable<T extends Output<T>>
