Load data button on projector

@qwertymj in https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/issues/9621 asked for the load data button on projector:

At http://projector.tensorflow.org/ we can choose a data file from our own computer by the Load data button(see the red rectangle below) and visualize the high-dimensional data

But when I tried to using Tensorboard embedding on my own computer (follow the instruction at https://www.tensorflow.org/get_started/embedding_viz and start a server on localhost:6006 by command tensorboard --logdir=LOG_DIR ) I just find the Load data button doesn’t exist (see below)

So I want to ask when I run Tensorboard on localhost, how can I enable the load data button like http://projector.tensorflow.org/ does, thus I can visualize the high-dimensional data by uploading my file rather than writing code ?

thanks a lot 😃

See this pull request for the relevant files: https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorboard/pull/1784 for how to launch it in standalone mode.

The actual setting of serving-mode is done in https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorboard/blob/master/tensorboard/plugins/projector/vz_projector/standalone.html

We disabled the load data button in TensorBoard since in TensorBoard the use case is for the embeddings to come from the TF checkpoint file.

If you have your embeddings in a tsv file, then projector.tensorflow.org should work. Note that projector.tensorflow.org is a static js/html page so your data doesn’t leave your computer.

Hope this helps!
