Due to the exploratory nature of DNNs, DL specialists often need to modify the input dataset, change a filter when preprocessing input data, or fine-tune the models’ hyperparameters, while analyzing the evolution of the training. However, the specialist may lose track of what hyperparameter configurations have been used and tuned if these data are not properly registered. Thus, these configurations must be tracked and made available for the user’s analysis. One way of doing this is to use provenance data derivation traces to help the hyperparameter’s fine-tuning by providing a global data picture with clear dependencies. Current provenance solutions present provenance data disconnected from W3C PROV recommendation, which is difficult to reproduce and compare to other provenance data. To help with these challenges, we present Keras-Prov, an extension to the Keras deep learning library to collect provenance data compliant with PROV. To show the flexibility of Keras-Prov, we extend a previous Keras-Prov demonstration paper with larger experiments using GPUs with the help of Google Colab. Despite the challenges of running a DBMS with virtual environments, DL analysis with provenance has added trust and persistence in databases and PROV serializations. Experiments show Keras-Prov data analysis, during training execution, to support hyperparameter fine-tuning decisions, favoring the comparison, and reproducibility of such DL experiments. Keras-Prov is open source and can be downloaded from https://github.com/dbpina/keras-prov.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
