We’re excited to announce the provision of the cloudml package deal, which offers an R interface to Google Cloud Machine Studying Engine. CloudML offers quite a lot of providers together with on-demand entry to coaching on GPUs and hyperparameter tuning to optimize key attributes of mannequin architectures.
Overview
We’re excited to announce the provision of the cloudml package deal, which offers an R interface to Google Cloud Machine Studying Engine. CloudML offers quite a lot of providers together with:
-
Scalable coaching of fashions constructed with the keras, tfestimators, and tensorflow R packages.
-
On-demand entry to coaching on GPUs, together with the brand new Tesla P100 GPUs from NVIDIA®.
-
Hyperparameter tuning to optmize key attributes of mannequin architectures with a view to maximize predictive accuracy.
-
Deployment of educated fashions to the Google international prediction platform that may assist 1000’s of customers and TBs of knowledge.
Coaching with CloudML
When you’ve configured your system to publish to CloudML, coaching a mannequin is as easy as calling the cloudml_train() perform:
library(cloudml)
cloudml_train("prepare.R")CloudML offers quite a lot of GPU configurations, which will be simply chosen when calling cloudml_train(). For instance, the next would prepare the identical mannequin as above however with a Tesla K80 GPU:
cloudml_train("prepare.R", master_type = "standard_gpu")To coach utilizing a Tesla P100 GPU you’ll specify "standard_p100":
cloudml_train("prepare.R", master_type = "standard_p100")When coaching completes the job is collected and a coaching run report is displayed:
Studying Extra
Try the cloudml package deal documentation to get began with coaching and deploying fashions on CloudML.
You too can discover out extra in regards to the varied capabilities of CloudML in these articles:
-
Coaching with CloudML goes into further depth on managing coaching jobs and their output.
-
Hyperparameter Tuning explores how one can enhance the efficiency of your fashions by operating many trials with distinct hyperparameters (e.g. quantity and measurement of layers) to find out their optimum values.
-
Google Cloud Storage offers data on copying information between your native machine and Google Storage and in addition describes tips on how to use information inside Google Storage throughout coaching.
-
Deploying Fashions describes tips on how to deploy educated fashions and generate predictions from them.
