`TensorLayer3 <https://tensorlayer3.readthedocs.io>`__ is a novel supports
|
|
multiple backends deep learning and reinforcement learning library designed
|
|
for researchers and engineers.
|
|
It provides an extensive collection of customizable neural layers to
|
|
build advanced AI models quickly, based on this, the community open-sourced
|
|
mass `tutorials <https://git.openi.org.cn/TensorLayer/tensorlayer3.0/src/branch/master/examples/basic_tutorials>`__ and
|
|
`applications <https://git.openi.org.cn/TensorLayer/tensorlayer3.0/src/branch/master/examples/model_zoo>`__.
|
|
TensorLayer is awarded the 2017 Best Open Source Software by the `ACM Multimedia Society <https://twitter.com/ImperialDSI/status/923928895325442049>`__.
|
|
This project can also be found at `OpenI <https://git.openi.org.cn/TensorLayer/tensorlayer3.0>`__ and `Gitee <https://gitee.com/organizations/TensorLayer>`__.

Why another deep learning library: TensorLayer
|
|
==============================================
|
|
|
|
As deep learning practitioners, we have been looking for a library that
|
|
can address various development purposes. This library is easy to adopt
|
|
by providing diverse examples, tutorials and pre-trained models. Also,
|
|
it allow users to easily fine-tune TensorFlow; while being suitable for
|
|
production deployment. TensorLayer aims to satisfy all these purposes.
|
|
It has three key features:
|
|
|
|
- **Simplicity** : TensorLayer lifts the low-level dataflow interface
|
|
of TensorFlow to *high-level* layers / models. It is very easy to
|
|
learn through the rich `example
|
|
codes <https://github.com/tensorlayer/awesome-tensorlayer>`__
|
|
contributed by a wide community.
|
|
- **Flexibility** : TensorLayer APIs are transparent: it does not
|
|
mask TensorFlow from users; but leaving massive hooks that help
|
|
*low-level tuning* and *deep customization*.
|
|
- **Zero-cost Abstraction** : TensorLayer can achieve the *full
|
|
power* of TensorFlow. The following table shows the training speeds
|
|
of classic models using TensorLayer and native TensorFlow on a Titan
|
|
X Pascal GPU.

|
|
|
|
TensorLayer stands at a unique spot in the library landscape. Other
|
|
wrapper libraries like Keras and TFLearn also provide high-level
|
|
abstractions. They, however, often hide the underlying engine from
|
|
users, which make them hard to customize and fine-tune. On the contrary,
|
|
TensorLayer APIs are generally flexible and transparent. Users often
|
|
find it easy to start with the examples and tutorials, and then dive
|
|
into TensorFlow seamlessly. In addition, TensorLayer does not create
|
|
library lock-in through native supports for importing components from
|
|
Keras, TFSlim and TFLearn.
|
|
|
|
TensorLayer has a fast growing usage among top researchers and
|
|
engineers, from universities like Imperial College London, UC Berkeley,
|
|
Carnegie Mellon University, Stanford University, and University of
|
|
Technology of Compiegne (UTC), and companies like Google, Microsoft,
|
|
Alibaba, Tencent, Xiaomi, and Bloomberg.

|
Install
|
|
=======
|
|
|
|
TensorLayer has pre-requisites including TensorFlow, numpy, and others. For GPU support, CUDA and cuDNN are required.
|
|
The simplest way to install TensorLayer is to use the Python Package Index (PyPI):
|
|
|
|
.. code:: bash
|
|
|
|
# for last stable version
|
|
pip install --upgrade tensorlayer3
|
|
|
|
# for latest release candidate
|
|
pip install --upgrade --pre tensorlayer3
|
|
|
|
# if you want to install the additional dependencies, you can also run
|
|
pip install --upgrade tensorlayer3[all] # all additional dependencies
|
|
pip install --upgrade tensorlayer3[extra] # only the `extra` dependencies
|
|
pip install --upgrade tensorlayer3[contrib_loggers] # only the `contrib_loggers` dependencies
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, you can install the latest or development version by directly pulling from github:
|
|
|
|
.. code:: bash
|
|
|
|
pip install https://github.com/tensorlayer/tensorlayer/archive/master.zip
|
|
# or
|
|
# pip install https://github.com/tensorlayer/tensorlayer/archive/<branch-name>.zip
|
|
|
|
Using Docker - a ready-to-use environment
|
|
-----------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The `TensorLayer
|
|
containers <https://hub.docker.com/r/tensorlayer/tensorlayer/>`__ are
|
|
built on top of the official `TensorFlow
|
|
containers <https://hub.docker.com/r/tensorflow/tensorflow/>`__:
|
|
|
|
Containers with CPU support
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
.. code:: bash
|
|
|
|
# for CPU version and Python 2
|
|
docker pull tensorlayer/tensorlayer:latest
|
|
docker run -it --rm -p 8888:8888 -p 6006:6006 -e PASSWORD=JUPYTER_NB_PASSWORD tensorlayer/tensorlayer:latest
|
|
|
|
# for CPU version and Python 3
|
|
docker pull tensorlayer/tensorlayer:latest-py3
|
|
docker run -it --rm -p 8888:8888 -p 6006:6006 -e PASSWORD=JUPYTER_NB_PASSWORD tensorlayer/tensorlayer:latest-py3
|
|
|
|
Containers with GPU support
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
NVIDIA-Docker is required for these containers to work: `Project
|
|
Link <https://github.com/NVIDIA/nvidia-docker>`__
|
|
|
|
.. code:: bash
|
|
|
|
# for GPU version and Python 2
|
|
docker pull tensorlayer/tensorlayer:latest-gpu
|
|
nvidia-docker run -it --rm -p 8888:88888 -p 6006:6006 -e PASSWORD=JUPYTER_NB_PASSWORD tensorlayer/tensorlayer:latest-gpu
|
|
|
|
# for GPU version and Python 3
|
|
docker pull tensorlayer/tensorlayer:latest-gpu-py3
|
|
nvidia-docker run -it --rm -p 8888:8888 -p 6006:6006 -e PASSWORD=JUPYTER_NB_PASSWORD tensorlayer/tensorlayer:latest-gpu-py3
