def calc_histogram_bins(count):
    """
    Calculates experience-based optimal bins number for histogram.

    To suppress re-sample bias, there should be enough number in each bin. So we calc bin numbers according to
    count. For very small count(1 - 10), we assign carefully chosen number. For large count, we tried to make
    sure there are 9-10 numbers in each bucket on average. Too many bins will also distract users, so we set max
    number of bins to 30.

    Args:
        count (int): Valid number count for the tensor.

    Returns:
        int, number of histogram bins.
