It accepts logged metrics, model structures, and tensor statistics from your training code via a Python SDK (LogWriter), writes them to local log files, and serves an interactive web interface to view trends, distributions, and model graphs in real time.\n\nThe package is designed primarily for PaddlePaddle users but claims support for ONNX, Caffe, Keras, and Core ML model formats. It provides scalar tracking, histogram visualization, PR and ROC curves, high-dimensional data projection, and model structure rendering. The tool runs as a local web server (default port 8040) and requires 13 runtime dependencies including Flask, NumPy, Pillow, Protobuf, and Pandas.","worth_installing":"No. The package is abandoned (last release 2023-06-05, 1166 days ago) with no active maintenance, meaning no security updates, bug fixes, or compatibility patches. While it has low install friction and permissive licensing, the 13 runtime dependencies and lack of ongoing support create maintenance risk. For active projects, use a maintained alternative like TensorBoard or Weights & Biases instead."},"id":"visualdl","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/visualdl","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/visualdl.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/visualdl/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2023-06-05","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"visualdl","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Visualize Deep Learning"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":223250,"position":9248,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.5.3"}
