TFX uses Airflow to author workflows as directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) of tasks. The Airflow scheduler executes tasks on an array of workers while following the specified dependencies. Rich command line utilities make performing complex surgeries on DAGs a snap. The rich user interface makes it easy to visualize pipelines running in production, monitor progress, and troubleshoot issues when needed. When workflows are defined as code, they become more maintainable, versionable, testable, and collaborative.</p></li> <li><p><a href="https://www.kubeflow.org/"><strong>Kubeflow</strong></a> is dedicated to making deployments of machine learning (ML) workflows on Kubernetes simple, portable and scalable. Kubeflow's goal is not to recreate other services, but to provide a straightforward way to deploy best-of-breed open-source systems for ML to diverse infrastructures. <a href="https://www.kubeflow.org/docs/pipelines/pipelines-overview/">Kubeflow Pipelines</a> enable composition and execution of reproducible workflows on Kubeflow, integrated with experimentation and notebook based experiences. Kubeflow Pipelines services on Kubernetes include the hosted Metadata store, container based orchestration engine, notebook server, and UI to help users develop, run, and manage complex ML pipelines at scale.

It is the serialized record of the weights that have been learned during the training process. These weights can be subsequently used to compute predictions for new input examples. For TFX and TensorFlow, 'model' refers to the checkpoints containing the weights learned up to that point.</p> <p>Note that 'model' might also refer to the definition of the TensorFlow computation graph (i.e. a Python file) that expresses how a prediction will be computed. The two senses may be used interchangeably based on context.</p> <h4 id="savedmodel" data-text="SavedModel" tabindex="-1">SavedModel</h4> <ul> <li><strong>What is a <a href="https://www.tensorflow.org/versions/r1.15/api_docs/python/tf/saved_model">SavedModel</a></strong>: a universal, language-neutral, hermetic, recoverable serialization of a TensorFlow model.</li> <li><strong>Why is it important</strong>: It enables higher-level systems to produce, transform, and consume TensorFlow models using a single abstraction.</li> </ul> <p>SavedModel is the recommended serialization format for serving a TensorFlow model in production, or exporting a trained model for a native mobile or JavaScript application. For example, to turn a model into a REST service for making predictions, you can serialize the model as a SavedModel and serve it using TensorFlow Serving. See <a href="https://www.tensorflow.org/tfx/serving/serving_basic">Serving a TensorFlow Model</a> for more information.</p> <h3 id="schema" data-text="Schema" tabindex="-1">Schema</h3> <p>Some TFX components use a description of your input data called a <em>schema</em>. The schema is an instance of <a href="https://github.com/tensorflow/metadata/tree/master/tensorflow_metadata/proto/v0">schema.proto</a>. Schemas are a type of <a href="https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/">protocol buffer</a>, more generally known as a "protobuf". The schema can specify data types for feature values, whether a feature has to be present in all examples, allowed value ranges, and other properties. One of the benefits of using TensorFlow Data Validation (TFDV) is that it will automatically generate a schema by inferring types, categories, and ranges from the training data.</p> <p>Here's an excerpt from a schema protobuf:</p> <div></div><devsite-code><pre class="devsite-click-to-copy" translate="no" dir="ltr" is-upgraded syntax="Protocol Buffer"><code translate="no" dir="ltr"><span class="devsite-syntax-o">...</span> <span class="devsite-syntax-n">feature</span><span class="devsite-syntax-w"> </span><span class="devsite-syntax-p">{</span> <span class="devsite-syntax-w"> </span><span class="devsite-syntax-n">name</span><span class="devsite-syntax-o">:</span><span class="devsite-syntax-w"> </span><span class="devsite-syntax-s">"age"</span> <span class="devsite-syntax-w"> </span><span class="devsite-syntax-n">value_count</span><span class="devsite-syntax-w"> </span><span class="devsite-syntax-p">{</span> <span class="devsite-syntax-w"> </span><span class="devsite-syntax-n">min</span><span class="devsite-syntax-o">:</span><span class="devsite-syntax-w"> </span><span class="devsite-syntax-mi">1</span> <span class="devsite-syntax-w"> </span><span class="devsite-syntax-k">max</span><span class="devsite-syntax-o">:</span><span class="devsite-syntax-w"> </span><span class="devsite-syntax-mi">1</span> <span class="devsite-syntax-w"> </span><span class="devsite-syntax-p">}</span> <span class="devsite-syntax-w"> </span><span class="devsite-syntax-n">type</span><span class="devsite-syntax-o">:</span><span class="devsite-syntax-w"> </span><span class="devsite-syntax-n">FLOAT</span> <span class="devsite-syntax-w"> </span><span class="devsite-syntax-n">presence</span><span class="devsite-syntax-w"> </span><span class="devsite-syntax-p">{</span> <span class="devsite-syntax-w"> </span><span class="devsite-syntax-n">min_fraction</span><span class="devsite-syntax-o">:</span><span class="devsite-syntax-w"> </span><span class="devsite-syntax-mi">1</span> <span class="devsite-syntax-w"> </span><span class="devsite-syntax-n">min_count</span><span class="devsite-syntax-o">:</span><span class="devsite-syntax-w"> </span><span class="devsite-syntax-mi">1</span> <span class="devsite-syntax-w"> </span><span class="devsite-syntax-p">}</span> <span class="devsite-syntax-p">}</span> <span class="devsite-syntax-n">feature</span><span class="devsite-syntax-w"> </span><span class="devsite-syntax-p">{</span> <span class="devsite-syntax-w"> </span><span class="devsite-syntax-n">name</span><span class="devsite-syntax-o">:</span><span class="devsite-syntax-w"> </span><span class="devsite-syntax-s">"capital-gain"</span> <span class="devsite-syntax-w"> </span><span class="devsite-syntax-n">value_count</span><span class="devsite-syntax-w"> </span><span class="devsite-syntax-p">{</span> <span class="devsite-syntax-w"> </span><span class="devsite-syntax-n">min</span><span class="devsite-syntax-o">:</span><span class="devsite-syntax-w"> </span><span class="devsite-syntax-mi">1</span> <span class="devsite-syntax-w"> </span><span class="devsite-syntax-k">max</span><span class="devsite-syntax-o">:</span><span class="devsite-syntax-w"> </span><span class="devsite-syntax-mi">1</span> <span class="devsite-syntax-w"> </span><span class="devsite-syntax-p">}</span> <span class="devsite-syntax-w"> </span><span class="devsite-syntax-n">type</span><span class="devsite-syntax-o">:</span><span class="devsite-syntax-w"> </span><span class="devsite-syntax-n">FLOAT</span> <span class="devsite-syntax-w"> </span><span class="devsite-syntax-n">presence</span><span class="devsite-syntax-w"> </span><span class="devsite-syntax-p">{</span> <span class="devsite-syntax-w"> </span><span class="devsite-syntax-n">min_fraction</span><span class="devsite-syntax-o">:</span><span class="devsite-syntax-w"> </span><span class="devsite-syntax-mi">1</span> <span class="devsite-syntax-w"> </span><span class="devsite-syntax-n">min_count</span><span class="devsite-syntax-o">:</span><span class="devsite-syntax-w"> </span><span class="devsite-syntax-mi">1</span> <span class="devsite-syntax-w"> </span><span class="devsite-syntax-p">}</span> <span class="devsite-syntax-p">}</span> <span class="devsite-syntax-o">...</span> </code></pre></devsite-code> <p>The following components use the schema:</p> <ul> <li>TensorFlow Data Validation</li> <li>TensorFlow Transform</li> </ul> <p>In a typical TFX pipeline TensorFlow Data Validation generates a schema, which is consumed by the other components.</p> <aside class="note"><strong>Note:</strong><span> The auto-generated schema is best-effort and only tries to infer basic properties of the data.

Often this is done after the data has been split into training and evaluation datasets so that there are actually two copies of ExampleGen components, one each for training and evaluation. This is typically followed by a <a href="/tfx/guide/statsgen">StatisticsGen</a> component and a <a href="/tfx/guide/schemagen">SchemaGen</a> component, which will examine your data and infer a data schema and statistics. The schema and statistics will be consumed by an <a href="/tfx/guide/exampleval">ExampleValidator</a> component, which will look for anomalies, missing values, and incorrect data types in your data. All of these components leverage the capabilities of the <a href="/tfx/guide/tfdv">TensorFlow Data Validation</a> library.</p> <p><a href="/tfx/guide/tfdv">TensorFlow Data Validation (TFDV)</a> is a valuable tool when doing initial exploration, visualization, and cleaning of your dataset. TFDV examines your data and infers the data types, categories, and ranges, and then automatically helps identify anomalies and missing values. It also provides visualization tools that can help you examine and understand your dataset. After your pipeline completes you can read metadata from <a href="/tfx/guide/mlmd">MLMD</a> and use the visualization tools of TFDV in a Jupyter notebook to analyze your data.</p> <p>Following your initial model training and deployment, TFDV can be used to monitor new data from inference requests to your deployed models, and look for anomalies and/or drift. This is especially useful for time series data that changes over time as a result of trend or seasonality, and can help inform when there are data problems or when models need to be retrained on new data.</p> <h3 id="data_visualization" data-text="Data Visualization" tabindex="-1">Data Visualization</h3> <p>After you have completed your first run of your data through the section of your pipeline that uses TFDV (typically StatisticsGen, SchemaGen, and ExampleValidator) you can visualize the results in a Jupyter style notebook. For additional runs you can compare these results as you make adjustments, until your data is optimal for your model and application.</p> <p>You will first query <a href="/tfx/guide/mlmd"><strong>ML Metadata (MLMD)</strong></a> to locate the results of these executions of these components, and then use the visualization support API in TFDV to create the visualizations in your notebook. This includes <a href="https://www.tensorflow.org/tfx/data_validation/api_docs/python/tfdv/load_statistics">tfdv.load_statistics()</a> and <a href="https://www.tensorflow.org/tfx/data_validation/api_docs/python/tfdv/visualize_statistics">tfdv.visualize_statistics()</a> Using this visualization you can better understand the characteristics of your dataset, and if necessary modify as required.</p> <h3 id="developing_and_training_models" data-text="Developing and Training Models" tabindex="-1">Developing and Training Models</h3> <p><img src="/static/tfx/guide/images/prog_transform.png" alt="Feature Engineering"></p> <p>A typical TFX pipeline will include a <a href="/tfx/guide/transform">Transform</a> component, which will perform feature engineering by leveraging the capabilities of the <a href="/tfx/guide/tft">TensorFlow Transform (TFT)</a> library. A Transform component consumes the schema created by a SchemaGen component, and applies <a href="https://www.tensorflow.org/tfx/tutorials/transform/simple">data transformations</a> to create, combine, and transform the features that will be used to train your model. Cleanup of missing values and conversion of types should also be done in the Transform component if there is ever a possibility that these will also be present in data sent for inference requests. <a href="/tfx/guide/train">There are some important considerations</a> when designing TensorFlow code for training in TFX.</p> <p><img src="/static/tfx/guide/images/prog_trainer.png" alt="Modeling and Training"></p> <p>The result of a Transform component is a SavedModel which will be imported and used in your modeling code in TensorFlow, during a <a href="/tfx/guide/trainer">Trainer</a> component. This SavedModel includes all of the data engineering transformations that were created in the Transform component, so that the identical transforms are performed using the exact same code during both training and inference. Using the modeling code, including the SavedModel from the Transform component, you can consume your training and evaluation data and train your model.</p> <p>When working with Estimator based models, the last section of your modeling code should save your model as both a SavedModel and an EvalSavedModel. Saving as an EvalSavedModel ensures the metrics used at training time are also available during evaluation (note that this is not required for keras based models). Saving an EvalSavedModel requires that you import the <a href="/tfx/guide/tfma">TensorFlow Model Analysis (TFMA)</a> library in your Trainer component.</p> <div></div><devsite-code><pre class="devsite-click-to-copy" translate="no" dir="ltr" is-upgraded syntax="Python"><code translate="no" dir="ltr"><span class="devsite-syntax-kn">import</span><span class="devsite-syntax-w"> </span><span class="devsite-syntax-nn">tensorflow_model_analysis</span><span class="devsite-syntax-w"> </span><span class="devsite-syntax-k">as</span><span class="devsite-syntax-w"> </span><span class="devsite-syntax-nn">tfma</span> <span class="devsite-syntax-o">...</span> <span class="devsite-syntax-n">tfma</span><span class="devsite-syntax-o">.</span><span class="devsite-syntax-n">export</span><span class="devsite-syntax-o">.</span><span class="devsite-syntax-n">export_eval_savedmodel</span><span class="devsite-syntax-p">(</span> <span class="devsite-syntax-n">estimator</span><span class="devsite-syntax-o">=</span><span class="devsite-syntax-n">estimator</span><span class="devsite-syntax-p">,</span> <span class="devsite-syntax-n">export_dir_base</span><span class="devsite-syntax-o">=</span><span class="devsite-syntax-n">eval_model_dir</span><span class="devsite-syntax-p">,</span> <span class="devsite-syntax-n">eval_input_receiver_fn</span><span class="devsite-syntax-o">=</span><span class="devsite-syntax-n">receiver_fn</span><span class="devsite-syntax-p">)</span> </code></pre></devsite-code> <p>An optional <a href="/tfx/guide/tuner">Tuner</a> component can be added before Trainer to tune the hyperparameters (e.g., number of layers) for the model. With the given model and hyperparameters' search space, tuning algorithm will find the best hyperparameters based on the objective.</p> <h3 id="analyzing_and_understanding_model_performance" data-text="Analyzing and Understanding Model Performance" tabindex="-1">Analyzing and Understanding Model Performance</h3> <p><img src="/static/tfx/guide/images/prog_evaluator.png" alt="Model Analysis"></p> <p>Following initial model development and training it's important to analyze and really understand your model's performance. A typical TFX pipeline will include an <a href="/tfx/guide/evaluator">Evaluator</a> component, which leverages the capabilities of the <a href="/tfx/guide/tfma">TensorFlow Model Analysis (TFMA)</a> library, which provides a power toolset for this phase of development. An Evaluator component consumes the model that you exported above, and allows you to specify a list of <a href="https://www.tensorflow.org/tfx/model_analysis/api_docs/python/tfma/SlicingSpec"><code translate="no" dir="ltr">tfma.SlicingSpec</code></a> that you can use when visualizing and analyzing your model's performance. Each <code translate="no" dir="ltr">SlicingSpec</code> defines a slice of your training data that you want to examine, such as particular categories for categorical features, or particular ranges for numerical features.</p> <p>For example, this would be important for trying to understand your model's performance for different segments of your customers, which could be segmented by annual purchases, geographical data, age group, or gender. This can be especially important for datasets with long tails, where the performance of a dominant group may mask unacceptable performance for important, yet smaller groups. For example, your model may perform well for average employees but fail miserably for executive staff, and it might be important to you to know that.</p> <h3 id="model_analysis_and_visualization" data-text="Model Analysis and Visualization" tabindex="-1">Model Analysis and Visualization</h3> <p>After you have completed your first run of your data through training your model and running the <a href="/tfx/guide/evaluator">Evaluator</a> component (which leverages <a href="/tfx/guide/tfma">TFMA</a>) on the training results, you can visualize the results in a Jupyter style notebook. For additional runs you can compare these results as you make adjustments, until your results are optimal for your model and application.</p> <p>You will first query <a href="/tfx/guide/mlmd"><strong>ML Metadata (MLMD)</strong></a> to locate the results of these executions of these components, and then use the visualization support API in TFMA to create the visualizations in your notebook. This includes <a href="https://www.tensorflow.org/tfx/model_analysis/api_docs/python/tfma/load_eval_results">tfma.load_eval_results</a> and <a href="https://www.tensorflow.org/tfx/model_analysis/api_docs/python/tfma/view/render_slicing_metrics">tfma.view.render_slicing_metrics</a> Using this visualization you can better understand the characteristics of your model, and if necessary modify as required.</p> <h3 id="validating_model_performance" data-text="Validating Model Performance" tabindex="-1">Validating Model Performance</h3> <p>As part of analyzing a model's performance you might want to validate the performance against a baseline (such as the currently serving model). Model validation is performed by passing both a candidate and baseline model to the <a href="/tfx/guide/evaluator">Evaluator</a> component. The Evaluator computes metrics (e.g. AUC, loss) for both the candidate and baseline along with a corresponding set of diff metrics. Thresholds may then be applied and used to gate pushing your models to production.</p> <h3 id="validating_that_a_model_can_be_served" data-text="Validating That A Model Can Be Served" tabindex="-1">Validating That A Model Can Be Served</h3> <p><img src="/static/tfx/guide/images/prog_infraval.png" alt="Infra Validation"></p> <p>Before deploying the trained model, you might want to validate whether the model is really servable in the serving infrastructure. This is especially important in production environments to ensure that the newly published model does not prevent the system from serving predictions. The <a href="/tfx/guide/infra_validator">InfraValidator</a> component will make a canary deployment of your model in a sandboxed environment, and optionally send real requests to check that your model works correctly.</p> <h2 id="deployment_targets" data-text="Deployment Targets" tabindex="-1">Deployment Targets</h2> <p>Once you have developed and trained a model that you're happy with, it's now time to deploy it to one or more deployment target(s) where it will receive inference requests. TFX supports deployment to three classes of deployment targets. Trained models which have been exported as SavedModels can be deployed to any or all of these deployment targets.</p> <p><img src="/static/tfx/guide/images/prog_fin.png" alt="Component Flow"></p> <h3 id="inference_tensorflow_serving" data-text="Inference: TensorFlow Serving" tabindex="-1">Inference: TensorFlow Serving</h3> <p><a href="/tfx/guide/serving">TensorFlow Serving (TFS)</a> is a flexible, high-performance serving system for machine learning models, designed for production environments. It consumes a SavedModel and will accept inference requests over either REST or gRPC interfaces. It runs as a set of processes on one or more network servers, using one of several advanced architectures to handle synchronization and distributed computation. See the <a href="/tfx/guide/serving">TFS documentation</a> for more information on developing and deploying TFS solutions.</p> <p>In a typical pipeline, a SavedModel which has been trained in a <a href="/tfx/guide/trainer">Trainer</a> component would first be infra-validated in an <a href="/tfx/guide/infra_validator">InfraValidator</a> component. InfraValidator launches a canary TFS model server to actually serve the SavedModel. If validation has passed, a <a href="/tfx/guide/pusher">Pusher</a> component will finally deploy the SavedModel to your TFS infrastructure. This includes handling multiple versions and model updates.</p> <h3 id="inference_in_native_mobile_and_iot_applications_tensorflow_lite" data-text="Inference in Native Mobile and IoT Applications: TensorFlow Lite" tabindex="-1">Inference in Native Mobile and IoT Applications: TensorFlow Lite</h3> <p><a href="https://www.tensorflow.org/lite">TensorFlow Lite</a> is a suite of tools which is dedicated to help developers use their trained TensorFlow Models in native mobile and IoT applications. It consumes the same SavedModels as TensorFlow Serving, and applies optimizations such as quantization and pruning to optimize the size and performance of the resulting models for the challenges of running on mobile and IoT devices. See the TensorFlow Lite documentation for more information on using TensorFlow Lite.</p> <h3 id="inference_in_javascript_tensorflow_js" data-text="Inference in JavaScript: TensorFlow JS" tabindex="-1">Inference in JavaScript: TensorFlow JS</h3> <p><a href="https://js.tensorflow.org/">TensorFlow JS</a> is a JavaScript library for training and deploying ML models in the browser and on Node.js.
