tf.contrib.learn.train

Train a model. (deprecated)

tf.contrib.learn.train(
    graph, output_dir, train_op, loss_op, global_step_tensor=None, init_op=None,
    init_feed_dict=None, init_fn=None, log_every_steps=10, supervisor_is_chief=True,
    supervisor_master='', supervisor_save_model_secs=600, keep_checkpoint_max=5,
    supervisor_save_summaries_steps=100, feed_fn=None, steps=None,
    fail_on_nan_loss=True, monitors=None, max_steps=None
)

Given graph, a directory to write outputs to (output_dir), and some ops, run a training loop. The given train_op performs one step of training on the model. The loss_op represents the objective function of the training. It is expected to increment the global_step_tensor, a scalar integer tensor counting training steps. This function uses Supervisor to initialize the graph (from a checkpoint if one is available in output_dir), write summaries defined in the graph, and write regular checkpoints as defined by supervisor_save_model_secs.

Training continues until global_step_tensor evaluates to max_steps, or, if fail_on_nan_loss, until loss_op evaluates to NaN. In that case the program is terminated with exit code 1.

Args
graph	A graph to train. It is expected that this graph is not in use elsewhere.
output_dir	A directory to write outputs to.
train_op	An op that performs one training step when run.
loss_op	A scalar loss tensor.
global_step_tensor	A tensor representing the global step. If none is given, one is extracted from the graph using the same logic as in Supervisor.
init_op	An op that initializes the graph. If None, use Supervisor's default.
init_feed_dict	A dictionary that maps Tensor objects to feed values. This feed dictionary will be used when init_op is evaluated.
init_fn	Optional callable passed to Supervisor to initialize the model.
log_every_steps	Output logs regularly. The logs contain timing data and the current loss.
supervisor_is_chief	Whether the current process is the chief supervisor in charge of restoring the model and running standard services.
supervisor_master	The master string to use when preparing the session.
supervisor_save_model_secs	Save a checkpoint every supervisor_save_model_secs seconds when training.
keep_checkpoint_max	The maximum number of recent checkpoint files to keep. As new files are created, older files are deleted. If None or 0, all checkpoint files are kept. This is simply passed as the max_to_keep arg to tf.compat.v1.train.Saver constructor.
supervisor_save_summaries_steps	Save summaries every supervisor_save_summaries_steps seconds when training.
feed_fn	A function that is called every iteration to produce a feed_dict passed to session.run calls. Optional.
steps	Trains for this many steps (e.g. current global step + steps).
fail_on_nan_loss	If true, raise NanLossDuringTrainingError if loss_op evaluates to NaN. If false, continue training as if nothing happened.
monitors	List of BaseMonitor subclass instances. Used for callbacks inside the training loop.
max_steps	Number of total steps for which to train model. If None, train forever. Two calls fit(steps=100) means 200 training iterations. On the other hand two calls of fit(max_steps=100) means, second call will not do any iteration since first call did all 100 steps.

Returns
The final loss value.

Raises
ValueError	If output_dir, train_op, loss_op, or global_step_tensor is not provided. See tf.contrib.framework.get_global_step for how we look up the latter if not provided explicitly.
NanLossDuringTrainingError	If fail_on_nan_loss is True, and loss ever evaluates to NaN.
ValueError	If both steps and max_steps are not None.
