title: How to decode a tensorflow summary string
body: <p>I am using the summary operation in Tensorflow 1.4. I created a summary operation and can get the output when running the session. However, I look into the value of the summary output,which is a string variable, I cannot get the values from it directly. I want to know if there is any solution to extract those values into a readable format. Thanks.</p>
  
  <p>Code snippet:</p>
  
  <pre><code>with tf.train.MonitoredTrainingSession(
          hooks=[summary_hook, saver_hook]) as sess:
  
      while not sess.should_stop():
          try:
              summary, _ = sess.run([merged, train_ops])
          except tf.errors.OutOfRangeError:
              print('Finish training.')
              break
  </code></pre>
