missing parameters in LaunchLocalTrainingJob.ipynb

[rafi-vivanti]

Great tutorial guys!

In the last section of LaunchLocalTrainingJob.ipynb , where you build the train.bat file, I think you're missing some parameters:
-local_run
-experiment_name

Also, if we run locally, why we need a batch file? can't we simply call app/distributed_agent directly?

Thanks!

Funny you should mention this - we noticed this a few days ago. If you pull the branch mspryn_usability_fixes, it should be fixed. This has yet to be formally reviewed and merged to master, but I tried it on my box a few day ago, and it worked.

If you look at the batch file, it is directly calling distributed_agent.py. The problem is that there are a bunch of command line parameters, and getting them right is a bit tricky. So we created the batch file to automate launching the job. Make sure to run the batch file from your activated anaconda environment.

Looks like it's been merged. I'll close this issue.
