BayesOpt VS tensorflow

Very interesting to see how wide spread this is. Stumbled upon it myself by accident when comparing my algorithm to a popular Bayesian optimisation algorithm (https://github.com/rmcantin/bayesopt). Almost every run it would sample the exact centre of the optimisation space. At first I was blown away by the performance until I found it suspicious that the precise optimum was found so often. Shifting the optimum away from the centre greatly reduced the algorithms performance.

# L2-normalize the encoding tensors image_encoding = tf.math.l2_normalize(image_encoding, axis=1) audio_encoding = tf.math.l2_normalize(audio_encoding, axis=1) # Find euclidean distance between image_encoding and audio_encoding # Essentially trying to detect if the face is saying the audio # Will return nan without the 1e-12 offset due to https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/issues/12071 d = tf.norm((image_encoding - audio_encoding) + 1e-12, ord='euclidean', axis=1, keepdims=True) discriminator = keras.Model(inputs=[image_input, audio_input], outputs=[d], name="discriminator")

Right but that's not an inherent GPU determinism issue. It's a software issue.

https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/issues/3103#issueco... is correct that it's not necessary, it's a choice.

Your line of reasoning appears to be "GPUs are inherently non-deterministic don't be quick to judge someone's code" which as far as I can tell is dead wrong.

Admittedly there are some cases and instructions that may result in non-determinism but they are inherently necessary. The author should thinking carefully before introducing non-determinism. There are many scenarios where it is irrelevant, but ultimately the issue we are discussing here isn't the GPU's fault.

and things like y = layers.ELU()(y) work as expected. I wanted to see a list of the available layers so I went to the Tensorflow GitHub repository and to the keras directory. There's a warning in that directory that says:

Exactly what language do you think TensorFlow is written in? :)
