“I brought this up because we began thinking about using this for place-and-route in ASIC design,” Dean said. “The game of place-and-route is far bigger than the game of go. The problem size is larger, though there isn’t as clear goal as there is with go.”

Google created a learning model for place-and-route, and then set out to find if the tool could generalize. Could it take what it learned on one design and apply it to a new design it had never seen before? The answer was an unambiguous “yes.”

Furthermore, Dean said, “We’ve gotten super-human results on all the blocks we’ve tried so far. It does a little bit better, and sometimes significantly better than humans.”

Introducing TensorBoard.dev: a new way to share your ML experiment results

Posted by Gal Oshri , Product Manager TensorBoard , TensorFlow’s visualization toolkit, is often used by researchers and engineers to visualize and understand their ML experiments. It enables tracking experiment metrics , visualizing models , profiling ML programs , visualizing hyperparameter tuning experiments , and much more.

We have seen people sharing screenshots of their TensorBoards to achieve this. However, screenshots aren’t interactive and fail to capture all the details. At Google, researchers and engineers often communicate their insights about model behavior by sending their TensorBoard visualizations to teammates. Our goal is to provide this capability to the broader community.
