    clean: Create a flag for removing the model_dir.
    train_epochs: Create a flag to specify the number of training epochs.
    epochs_between_evals: Create a flag to specify the frequency of testing.
    stop_threshold: Create a flag to specify a threshold accuracy or other
      eval metric which should trigger the end of training.
    batch_size: Create a flag to specify the batch size.
    num_gpu: Create a flag to specify the number of GPUs used.
    hooks: Create a flag to specify hooks for logging.
    export_dir: Create a flag to specify where a SavedModel should be exported.
