tf.compat.v1.train.MonitoredSession

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

Example usage:

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

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

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

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

How to set tf.compat.v1.Session arguments:

MonitoredSession(
  session_creator=ChiefSessionCreator(master=..., config=...))
MonitoredSession(
  session_creator=WorkerSessionCreator(master=..., config=...))

See MonitoredTrainingSession for an example usage based on chief or worker.

Note: This is not a tf.compat.v1.Session. For example, it cannot do following:

session_creator A factory object to create session. Typically a ChiefSessionCreator which is the default one.
hooks An iterable of `SessionRunHook' objects.

A MonitoredSession object.

graph The graph that was launched in this session.

Methods

run

View source

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 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 therun_with_hooks()call inside the step_fnas they do with aMonitoredSession.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.
