Software Patterns in TensorFlow

TensorFlow is a flexible, general purpose computational library that's used to implement a wide range of machine learning models. Its flexibility however presents a challenge: how do teams discover and apply effective software patterns in their projects? In this presentation, Garrett Smith, founder of Guild AI, will share his experience working with dozens of TensorFlow projects and discuss patterns that work well and those that don't when writing TensorFlow code.

Garrett will cover:

• Project structure
• Variable naming conventions
• Canonical functions and workflow
• Parameterization using flags
• Logging and retraining experiment results
• Conventions for serving trained models
• Lessons from TFLearn and Keras
