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.
