TensorFlow Estimator

class sagemaker.tensorflow.estimator.TensorFlow(training_steps=None, evaluation_steps=None, checkpoint_path=None, py_version='py2', framework_version=None, model_dir=None, requirements_file='', image_name=None, script_mode=False, distributions=None, **kwargs)

Bases: sagemaker.estimator.Framework

Handle end-to-end training and deployment of user-provided TensorFlow code.

Initialize a TensorFlow estimator.

Parameters:
  • training_steps (int) – Perform this many steps of training. None, the default means train forever.
  • evaluation_steps (int) – Perform this many steps of evaluation. None, the default means that evaluation runs until input from eval_input_fn is exhausted (or another exception is raised).
  • checkpoint_path (str) – Identifies S3 location where checkpoint data during model training can be saved (default: None). For distributed model training, this parameter is required.
  • py_version (str) – Python version you want to use for executing your model training code (default: ‘py2’).
  • framework_version (str) – TensorFlow version you want to use for executing your model training code. List of supported versions https://github.com/aws/sagemaker-python-sdk#tensorflow-sagemaker-estimators. If not specified, this will default to 1.11.
  • model_dir (str) – S3 location where the checkpoint data and models can be exported to during training (default: None). If not specified a default S3 URI will be generated. It will be passed in the training script as one of the command line arguments.
  • requirements_file (str) – Path to a requirements.txt file (default: ‘’). The path should be within and relative to source_dir. Details on the format can be found in the Pip User Guide.
  • image_name (str) –

    If specified, the estimator will use this image for training and hosting, instead of selecting the appropriate SageMaker official image based on framework_version and py_version. It can be an ECR url or dockerhub image and tag.

    Examples

    123.dkr.ecr.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/my-custom-image:1.0 custom-image:latest.

  • script_mode (bool) – If set to True will the estimator will use the Script Mode containers (default: False). This will be ignored if py_version is set to ‘py3’.
  • distributions (dict) –

    A dictionary with information on how to run distributed training (default: None). Currently we support distributed training with parameter servers and MPI. To enable parameter server use the following setup:

    {
        ‘parameter_server’:
        {
            ‘enabled’: True
        }
    }
    

    To enable MPI:

    {
        ‘mpi’:
        {
            ‘enabled’: True
        }
    }
    
  • **kwargs – Additional kwargs passed to the Framework constructor.
LATEST_VERSION = '1.13'

fit(inputs=None, wait=True, logs=True, job_name=None, run_tensorboard_locally=False)

Train a model using the input training dataset.

See fit() for more details.

Parameters:
  • inputs (str or dict or sagemaker.session.s3_input) –

    Information about the training data. This can be one of three types:

    • (str) - the S3 location where training data is saved.
    • (dict[str, str] or dict[str, sagemaker.session.s3_input]) - If using multiple channels for
      training data, you can specify a dict mapping channel names to strings or s3_input() objects.
    • (sagemaker.session.s3_input) - channel configuration for S3 data sources that can provide
      additional information as well as the path to the training dataset. See sagemaker.session.s3_input() for full details.
  • wait (bool) – Whether the call should wait until the job completes (default: True).
  • logs (bool) – Whether to show the logs produced by the job. Only meaningful when wait is True (default: True).
  • job_name (str) – Training job name. If not specified, the estimator generates a default job name, based on the training image name and current timestamp.
  • run_tensorboard_locally (bool) – Whether to execute TensorBoard in a different process with downloaded checkpoint information (default: False). This is an experimental feature, and requires TensorBoard and AWS CLI to be installed. It terminates TensorBoard when execution ends.
