# --- CONFIG

# --- TRANSFORMATIONS

# DEFINE THE EVALUATION PLUGIN AND LOGGER
# The evaluation plugin manages the metrics computation.
# It takes as argument a list of metrics and a list of loggers.
# The evaluation plugin calls the loggers to serialize the metrics
# and save them in persistent memory or print them in the standard output.

# log to Tensorboard
tb_logger = TensorboardLogger()

# log to text file
text_logger = TextLogger(open('log.txt', 'a'))

# print to stdout
interactive_logger = InteractiveLogger()
