set_random_seed {tensorflow}

Set random seed for TensorFlow

Description

Sets all random seeds needed to make TensorFlow code reproducible.

Usage

set_random_seed(seed, disable_gpu = TRUE)

Arguments

seed

A single value, interpreted as an integer

disable_gpu

TRUE to disable GPU execution (see Parallelism below).

Details

This function should be used instead of use_session_with_seed() if you are using TensorFlow >= 2.0, as the concept of session doesn't really make sense anymore.

This functions sets:

• The R random seed with set.seed().

• The python and Numpy seeds via (reticulate::py_set_seed()).

• The TensorFlow seed with (tf$random$set_seed())

It also optionally disables the GPU execution as this is a potential source of non-reproducibility.
