tf.compat.v1.train.SingularMonitoredSession

Session-like object that handles initialization, restoring, and hooks.

tf.compat.v1.train.SingularMonitoredSession(
    hooks=None, scaffold=None, master='', config=None,
    checkpoint_dir=None, stop_grace_period_secs=120,
    checkpoint_filename_with_path=None
)

Please note that this utility is not recommended for distributed settings. For distributed settings, please use tf.compat.v1.train.MonitoredSession. The differences between MonitoredSession and SingularMonitoredSession are:

  • MonitoredSession handles AbortedError and UnavailableError for distributed settings, but SingularMonitoredSession does not.
  • MonitoredSession can be created in chief or worker modes. SingularMonitoredSession is always created as chief.
  • You can access the raw tf.compat.v1.Session object used by SingularMonitoredSession, whereas in MonitoredSession the raw session is private. This can be used:
    • To run without hooks.
    • To save and restore.
  • All other functionality is identical.

Example usage:

saver_hook = CheckpointSaverHook(...)
summary_hook = SummarySaverHook(...)
with SingularMonitoredSession(hooks=[saver_hook, summary_hook]) as sess:
  while not sess.should_stop():
    sess.run(train_op)

Initialization: At creation time the hooked session does following things in given order:

  • calls hook.begin() for each given hook
  • finalizes the graph via scaffold.finalize()
  • create session
  • initializes the model via initialization ops provided by Scaffold
  • restores variables if a checkpoint exists
  • launches queue runners

Run: When run() is called, the hooked session does following things:

  • calls hook.before_run()
  • calls TensorFlow session.run() with merged fetches and feed_dict
  • calls hook.after_run()
  • returns result of session.run() asked by user

Exit: At the close(), the hooked session does following things in order:

  • calls hook.end()
  • closes the queue runners and the session
  • suppresses OutOfRange error which indicates that all inputs have been processed if the SingularMonitoredSession is used as a context.

hooks An iterable of SessionRunHook' objects. </td> </tr><tr> <td>scaffold</td> <td> AScaffoldused for gathering or building supportive ops. If not specified a default one is created.

Methods

close

close()

raw_session

View source

raw_session()

Returns underlying TensorFlow.Session object.

run

View source

run(
    fetches, feed_dict=None, options=None, run_metadata=None
)

Run ops in the monitored session.

This method is completely compatible with the tf.Session.run() method.

Args
fetches Same as tf.Session.run().
feed_dict Same as tf.Session.run().
options Same as tf.Session.run().
run_metadata Same as tf.Session.run().

Returns
Same as tf.Session.run().

run_step_fn

View source

run_step_fn(
    step_fn
)

Run ops using a step function.

Args
step_fn A function or a method with a single argument of type StepContext. The function may use methods of the argument to perform computations with access to a raw session. The returned value of the step_fn will be returned from run_step_fn, unless a stop is requested. In that case, the next should_stop call will return True. Example usage:

```python
with tf.Graph().as_default():
  c = tf.compat.v1.placeholder(dtypes.float32)
  v = tf.add(c, 4.0)
  w = tf.add(c, 0.5)
  def step_fn(step_context):
    a = step_context.session.run(fetches=v, feed_dict={c: 0.5})
    if a <= 4.5:
      step_context.request_stop()
      return step_context.run_with_hooks(fetches=w,
                                         feed_dict={c: 0.1})

  with tf.MonitoredSession() as session:
    while not session.should_stop():
      a = session.run_step_fn(step_fn)
```
Hooks interact with the `run_with_hooks()` call inside the
     `step_fn` as they do with a `MonitoredSession.run` call.

Returns
Returns the returned value of step_fn.

Raises
StopIteration if step_fn has called request_stop(). It may be caught by with tf.MonitoredSession() to close the session.
ValueError if step_fn doesn't have a single argument called step_context. It may also optionally have self for cases when it belongs to an object.
