Known issues
- The SIM model results are non-deterministic, even using the same random seed. The reason for this non-determinism is the tf.math.unsorted_segment_sum operation called within an optimization step. Its influence depends on categorical data distribution within a batch, and this issue is more severe for momentum-based optimizers. A potential solution is to use a deterministic version of this op which allows perfect reproduction, but is up to six times slower training.
