set_random_seed function

Set random seed for TensorFlow

Sets all random seeds needed to make TensorFlow code reproducible.

set_random_seed(seed, disable_gpu = TRUE)

Arguments

• seed: A single value, interpreted as an integer
• disable_gpu: TRUE to disable GPU execution (see Parallelism below).

Details

This function should be used instead of use_session_with_seed() if you are using TensorFlow >= 2.0, as the concept of session doesn't really make sense anymore.

This functions sets:

• The R random seed with set.seed().
• The python and Numpy seeds via (reticulate::py_set_seed()).
• The TensorFlow seed with (tf$random$set_seed())

It also optionally disables the GPU execution as this is a potential source of non-reproducibility.
