We’re excited to announce the supply of the cloudml package deal, which offers an R interface to Google Cloud Machine Studying Engine. CloudML offers a variety 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 supply of the cloudml package deal, which offers an R interface to Google Cloud Machine Studying Engine. CloudML offers a variety 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 as a way to maximize predictive accuracy.

• Deployment of skilled fashions to the Google international prediction platform that may help hundreds of customers and TBs of knowledge.

Coaching with CloudML

When you’ve configured your system to publish to CloudML, coaching a mannequin is as simple as calling the cloudml_train() operate:

library(cloudml)
cloudml_train("prepare.R")

CloudML offers a wide range of GPU configurations, which might 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.

It’s also possible to discover out extra concerning 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 info on copying knowledge between your native machine and Google Storage and in addition describes tips on how to use knowledge inside Google Storage throughout coaching.

• Deploying Fashions describes tips on how to deploy skilled fashions and generate predictions from them.
