How do I use the Tensorboard callback of Keras

Question

I have built a neural network with Keras  I would visualize its data by Tensorboard  therefore I have utilized   keras callbacks TensorBoard log dir   Graph   histogram freq 0                              write graph True  write images True    as explained in keras io  When I run the callback I get  lt keras callbacks TensorBoard at 0x7f9abb3898 gt   but I don t get any file in my folder  Graph   Is there something wrong in how I have used this callback

If you are working with Keras library and want to use tensorboard to print your graphs of accuracy and other variables, Then below are the steps to follow.

step 1: Initialize the keras callback library to import tensorboard by using below command

from keras.callbacks import TensorBoard

step 2: Include the below command in your program just before "model.fit()" command.

tensor_board = TensorBoard(log_dir='./Graph', histogram_freq=0, write_graph=True, write_images=True)

Note: Use "./graph". It will generate the graph folder in your current working directory, avoid using "/graph".

step 3: Include Tensorboard callback in "model.fit()".The sample is given below.

model.fit(X_train,y_train, batch_size=batch_size, epochs=nb_epoch, verbose=1, validation_split=0.2,callbacks=[tensor_board])

step 4 : Run your code and check whether your graph folder is there in your working directory. if the above codes work correctly you will have "Graph" folder in your working directory.

step 5 : Open Terminal in your working directory and type the command below.

tensorboard --logdir ./Graph

step 6: Now open your web browser and enter the address below.

http://localhost:6006

After entering, the Tensorbaord page will open where you can see your graphs of different variables.

keras callbacks TensorBoard log dir    Graph   histogram freq 0              write graph True  write images True    This line creates a Callback Tensorboard object  you should capture that object and give it to the fit function of your model   tbCallBack   keras callbacks TensorBoard log dir    Graph   histogram freq 0  write graph True  write images True      model fit    inputs and parameters     callbacks  tbCallBack     This way you gave your callback object to the function  It will be run during the training and will output files that can be used with tensorboard   If you want to visualize the files created during training  run in your terminal  tensorboard --logdir path to current dir Graph    Hope this helps

This is how you use the TensorBoard callback   from keras callbacks import TensorBoard  tensorboard   TensorBoard log dir    logs   histogram freq 0                            write graph True  write images False    define model model fit X train  Y train            batch size batch size            epochs nb epoch            validation data  X test  Y test             shuffle True            callbacks  tensorboard

You should check out Losswise  https   losswise com   it has a plugin for Keras that s easier to use than Tensorboard and has some nice extra features   With Losswise you d just use from losswise libs import LosswiseKerasCallback and then callback   LosswiseKerasCallback tag  my fancy convnet 1   and you re good to go  see https   docs losswise com  keras-plugin

There are few things   First  not  Graph but   Graph  Second  when you use the TensorBoard callback  always pass validation data  because without it  it wouldn t start   Third  if you want to use anything except scalar summaries  then you should only use the fit method because fit generator will not work  Or you can rewrite the callback to work with fit generator   To add callbacks  just add it to model fit      callbacks your list of callbacks

You wrote log dir   Graph  did you mean   Graph instead  You sent it to  home user Graph at the moment

Here is some code    K set learning phase 1  K set image data format  channels last    tb callback   keras callbacks TensorBoard      log dir log path      histogram freq 2      write graph True   tb callback set model model  callbacks      callbacks append tb callback     Train net  history   model fit       x train        y train  y train c       batch size int hype space  batch size         epochs EPOCHS      shuffle True      verbose 1      callbacks callbacks      validation data   x test    y test  y test coarse     history    Test net  K set learning phase 0  score   model evaluate  x test    y test  y test coarse   verbose 0    Basically  histogram freq 2 is the most important parameter to tune when calling this callback  it sets an interval of epochs to call the callback  with the goal of generating fewer files on disks   So here is an example visualization of the evolution of values for the last convolution throughout training once seen in TensorBoard  under the  histograms  tab  and I found the  distributions  tab to contain very similar charts  but flipped on the side      In case you would like to see a full example in context  you can refer to this open-source project  https   github com Vooban Hyperopt-Keras-CNN-CIFAR-100
