What is Tensor2Tensor?
It is a library of deep learning models and datasets designed to make deep learning more accessible and accelerate ML research. It was developed by researchers and engineers in the Google Brain team and a community of users.
Tensor2Tensor is a tool in the Machine Learning Tools category of a tech stack.
Tensor2Tensor is an open source tool with 14.9K GitHub stars and 3.4K GitHub forks. Here’s a link to Tensor2Tensor's open source repository on GitHub
Who uses Tensor2Tensor?
Tensor2Tensor's Features
- Many state of the art and baseline models are built-in and new models can be added easily
- Many datasets across modalities - text, audio, image - available for generation and use, and new ones can be added easily
- Models can be used with any dataset and input mode (or even multiple)
- all modality-specific processing (e.g. embedding lookups for text tokens) is done with bottom and top transformations, which are specified per-feature in the model
- Support for multi-GPU machines and synchronous (1 master, many workers) and asynchronous (independent workers synchronizing through a parameter server) distributed training
- Easily swap amongst datasets and models by command-line flag with the data generation script t2t-datagen and the training script t2t-trainer
- Train on Google Cloud ML and Cloud TPUs
Tensor2Tensor Alternatives & Comparisons
What are some alternatives to Tensor2Tensor?
Keras
Deep Learning library for Python. Convnets, recurrent neural networks, and more. Runs on TensorFlow or Theano. https://keras.io/
TensorFlow
TensorFlow is an open source software library for numerical computation using data flow graphs. Nodes in the graph represent mathematical operations, while the graph edges represent the multidimensional data arrays (tensors) communicated between them. The flexible architecture allows you to deploy computation to one or more CPUs or GPUs in a desktop, server, or mobile device with a single API.
JavaScript
JavaScript is most known as the scripting language for Web pages, but used in many non-browser environments as well such as node.js or Apache CouchDB. It is a prototype-based, multi-paradigm scripting language that is dynamic,and supports object-oriented, imperative, and functional programming styles.
Git
Git is a free and open source distributed version control system designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency.
GitHub
GitHub is the best place to share code with friends, co-workers, classmates, and complete strangers. Over three million people use GitHub to build amazing things together.
