Overview
Guild provides integrated support for TensorBoard.
To use TensorBoard to view Guild runs, use guild tensorboard
:
guild tensorboard
Guild manages the TensorBoard log directory by synchronizing with the current set of runs and their summaries. You can leave TensorBoard running while you generate more runs or while runs are logging summaries. TensorBoard will update automatically.
Differences in Guild TensorBoard
Guild runs the installed version of TensorBoard without customization. This lets you use the current features of TensorBoard from Guild.
A number of things are different when you run TensorBoard with Guild:
-
Guild dynamically adds images saved to the run directory as TensorBoard summaries. This lets you view run-generated images without having to write them as summaries.
-
Guild dynamically adds summaries so that flags and scalars can be compared in the HParams tab. This lets you use TensorBoard to compare hyperparameter results without having to write summaries yourself.
-
Guild filters runs shown in TensorBoard according to the run filter options used with
guild tensorboard
. This lets you quickly compare runs matching various criteria without having to manually create a TensorBoard log directory.
