Sonnet
Sonnet is a modular machine learning framework and TensorFlow library used for building, training, and managing deep learning models. It functions as a system for composing neural networks from reusable modules and layers that encapsulate their own parameters and internal states.
The project provides specialized tools for distributed model training, enabling the synchronization of gradients across multiple hardware devices. It also serves as a model state management system, allowing for the persistence of neural network weights and the export of portable models that separate the computation graph from the learned weights.
The framework covers a broad range of development capabilities, including parameter management for optimization processes and the construction of computation graphs for hardware acceleration.
