mlpack visualization tool
mlboard is a tool that allows you to log mlpack data in the format that the TensorBoard frontend can render in browsers.
mlboard is still in the development phase. You can track the development ideas here
For mlboard to run, you have to install protobuf
- For Mac OS
brew install protobuf
- For debian-based systems
sudo apt-get install libprotobuf-dev protobuf-compiler
would be sufficient.
Make a build directory. The directory can have any name, but 'build' is sufficient.
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
The next step is to run CMake to configure the project. Running CMake is the
equivalent to running ./configure with autotools.
$ cmake ../
Note : The test build are by default ON, you can avoid building test by providing args to CMake as cmake -DBUILD_TESTS=OFF ../
Once CMake is configured, building the library is as simple as typing 'make'. This will build all library components as well as 'mlboard_tests'.
$ make
Note : If you only want to build test you can hit
$ make mlboard_tests
If you wish to install mlboard to /usr/local/include/mlboard/, /usr/local/lib/,
and /usr/local/bin/, make sure you have root privileges (or write permissions
to those three directories), and simply type
$ make install
and the mlboard headers are found in /usr/local/include/mlpack/.
To run test, you can issue the following command:
$ ./mlboard_tests
If you wish to keep the logs generated while running the test, you could compile it with the following command:
$ cmake -DKEEP_TEST_LOGS=ON ../
Following are the Summary types you could log using mlboard:
