Hello,I found a performance issue in the definition of main ,
tobegit3hub/tensorflow_template_application/blob/master/sparse_classifier.py,
train_dataset.map was called without num_parallel_calls.
I think it will increase the efficiency of your program if you add this.
The same issues also exist in validation_dataset.map ,
train_dataset.map and other three places
Here is the documemtation of tensorflow to support this thing.
Looking forward to your reply. Btw, I am very glad to create a PR to fix it if you are too busy.
