Description

It would be awesome if Tensorboard had a section in which you could see the weights of a linear model.

This would be really useful for sanity-checking a model, making sure you didn't accidentally include your weight column in your features, and seeing if it's actually learning something meaningful.

It's currently possible to do this using Estimator.get_variable_names(), but the default printing is ugly and it took some digging to find.

Research direction

Start by examining how TensorBoard currently exposes model data and how Estimator.get_variable_names() provides access to variables. Define the scope and presentation for a linear-model weight section, then verify that the resulting view makes the weights available for model sanity-checking.
