This optional section allows the client to give named arguments that are provided to the docker image as environment variables at runtime. This would allow a user to, for example, create jobs that can have many different models (e.g. svm, lstm), and just provide an argument like model_type = svm in the [args] section of their config file; then different config files can be used to kick off many different jobs using the same docker image (which makes life easier for users).
