Package: nnisgf
NNI (Neural Network Intelligence) is a toolkit to help users run automated machine learning (AutoML) experiments.
The tool dispatches and runs trial jobs generated by tuning algorithms to search the best neural architecture and/or hyper-parameters in different environments like local machine, remote servers and cloud.Who should consider using NNIThose who want to try different AutoML algorithms in their training code (model) at their local machine.Those who want to run AutoML trial jobs in different environments to speed up search (e.g. remote servers and cloud).Researchers and data scientists who want to implement their own AutoML algorithms and compare it with other algorithms.ML Platform owners who want to support AutoML in their platform.Install & VerifyInstall through pipWe support Linux and MacOS in current stage, Ubuntu 16.04 or higher, along with MacOS 10.14.1 are tested and supported. Simply run the followingpip installin an environment that haspython >= 3.5.python3-mpipinstall--user--upgradenniNote: If you are in docker container (as root), please remove--userfrom the installation command.Install through source codeWe support Linux (Ubuntu 16.04 or higher), MacOS (10.14.1) in our current stage.Run the following commands in an environment that haspython >= 3.5,gitandwget.gitclone-bv0.4https://github.com/Microsoft/nni.gitcdnnisourceinstall.shFor the system requirements of NNI, please refer toInstall NNIVerify installThe following example is an experiment built on TensorFlow.
