Best practices to write functions for both execution modes in Tensorflow, eager and graph mode

+0
−0

I regularly run into the problem that I have a Python function that I want to use in both, eager and graph execution mode. I therefore have to adjust the code so that it can handle both situations. Here are two examples:

import tensorflow as tf
def lin_to_db(x: float | tf.Tensor) -> float | tf.Tensor:
	# convert signal to noise ratio (SNR) from linear to dB

	if tf.is_tensor(x):
		return tf.math.log(x) * (10. / tf.math.log(10.))
	else:
		return math.log10(x) * 10.
def cast_to_int_if_eager(x: tf.Variable) -> int | tf.Variable:
	return int(x) if tf.executing_eagerly() else x

Are there best practices for such functions? Or maybe helpful predefined functions from Tensorflow?

Can't you just always use tensorflow functions? (3 comments)

Is the tensorflow-graph-mode added tag related to https://www.tensorflow.org/guide/intro_to_graphs?

Also, it sounds very narrow, I am not sure if we should have a tag about this.

Roughly speaking, tensorflow-graph is tensorflow-v1 and tensorflow-eager is tensorflow-v2. I don't think these tags would be that useful. Especially since there are generally not that much tensorflow questions thus far.
