I want to implement a custom sampler in PyTorch. I have a classification problem and I want to sample data in each batch by sampling classes non-uniformly, with probabilities that change batch-to-batch, and then sampling data uniformly within each class.
So for instance, if I'm using CIFAR10 with a batch size 32 and initial probabilities [0.5, 0.5, 0, ..., 0], I want to sample only the first 2 classes with equal probability e.g. [0, 1, 1, 0, 1...0], and then sample 32 points uniformly from within each sampled class. After the first batch, I may want the probabilities to shift to [0.25, 0.5, 0.25, 0, ..., 0], meaning I want to sample from the first three classes with those probabilities.
How can I implement this in a custom pytorch Sampler?

How to do inference in batches in PyTorch? How to do inference in parallel to speed up that part of the code.
I've started with the standard way of doing inference:
with torch.no_grad():
for inputs, labels in dataloader['predict']:
inputs = inputs.to(device)
output = model(inputs)
output = output.to(device)
And I've researched and the only mention of doing inference in parallel (in the same machine) seems to be with the library Dask: https://examples.dask.org/machine-learning/torch-prediction.html
Currently attempting to understand that library and create a working example. In the meanwhile do you know of a better way?
In pytorch, the input tensors always have the batch dimension in the first dimension. Thus doing inference by batch is the default behavior, you just need to increase the batch dimension to larger than 1.
For example, if your single input is [1, 1], its input tensor is [[1, 1], ] with shape (1, 2). If you have two inputs [1, 1] and [2, 2], generate the input tensor as [[1, 1], [2, 2], ] with shape (2, 2). This is usually done in the batch generator function such as your dataloader.
I have binary images (as the one below) at the output of my net. I need the '1's to be further from each other (not connected), so that they would form a sparse binary image (without white blobs). Something like salt-and-pepper noise. I am looking for a way to define a loss (in pytorch) that would punish based on the density of the '1's.
Thanks.

It depends on how you're generating said image. Since neural networks have to be trained by backpropagation, I'm rather sure your binary image is not the direct output of your neural network (ie not the thing you're applying loss to), because gradient can't blow through binary (discrete) variables. I suspect you do something like pixel-wise binary cross entropy or similar and then threshold.
I assume your code works like that: you densely regress real-valued numbers and then apply thresholding, likely using sigmoid to map from [-inf, inf] to [0, 1]. If it is so, you can do the following. Build a convolution kernel which is 0 in the center and 1 elsewhere, of size related to how big you want your "sparsity gaps" to be.
kernel = [
[1, 1, 1, 1, 1]
[1, 1, 1, 1, 1]
[1, 1, 0, 1, 1]
[1, 1, 1, 1, 1]
[1, 1, 1, 1, 1]
]
Then you apply sigmoid to your real-valued output to squash it to [0, 1]:
squashed = torch.sigmoid(nn_output)
then you convolve squashed with kernel, which gives you the relaxed number of non-zero neighbors.
neighborhood = nn.functional.conv2d(squashed, kernel, padding=2)
and your loss will be the product of each pixel's value in squashed with the corresponding value in neighborhood:
sparsity_loss = (squashed * neighborhood).mean()
If you think of this loss applied to your binary image, for a given pixel p it will be 1 if and only if both p and at least one of its neighbors have values 1 and 0 otherwise. Since we apply it to non-binary numbers in [0, 1] range, it will be the differentiable approximation of that.
Please note that I left out some of the details from the code above (like correctly reshaping kernel to work with nn.functional.conv2d).
I am quite new to the deep learning field especially Keras. Here I have a simple problem of classification and I don't know how to solve it. What I don't understand is how the general process of the classification, like converting the input data into tensors, the labels, etc.
Let's say we have three classes, 1, 2, 3.
There is a sequence of classes that need to be classified as one of those classes. The dataset is for example
Sequence 1, 1, 1, 2 is labeled 2
Sequence 2, 1, 3, 3 is labeled 1
Sequence 3, 1, 2, 1 is labeled 3
and so on.
This means the input dataset will be
[[1, 1, 1, 2],
[2, 1, 3, 3],
[3, 1, 2, 1]]
and the label will be
[[2],
[1],
[3]]
Now one thing that I do understand is to one-hot encode the class. Because we have three classes, every 1 will be converted into [1, 0, 0], 2 will be [0, 1, 0] and 3 will be [0, 0, 1]. Converting the example above will give a dataset of 3 x 4 x 3, and a label of 3 x 1 x 3.
Another thing that I understand is that the last layer should be a softmax layer. This way if a test data like (e.g. [1, 2, 3, 4]) comes out, it will be softmaxed and the probabilities of this sequence belonging to class 1 or 2 or 3 will be calculated.
Am I right? If so, can you give me an explanation/example of the process of classifying these sequences?
Thank you in advance.
Here are a few clarifications that you seem to be asking about.
This point was confusing so I deleted it.
If your input data has the shape (4), then your input tensor will have the shape (batch_size, 4).
Softmax is the correct activation for your prediction (last) layer
given your desired output, because you have a classification problem
with multiple classes. This will yield output of shape (batch_size,
3). These will be the probabilities of each potential classification, summing to one across all classes. For example, if the classification is class 0, then a single prediction might look something like [0.9714,0.01127,0.01733].
Batch size isn't hard-coded to the network, hence it is represented in model.summary() as None. E.g. the network's last-layer output shape can be written (None, 3).
Unless you have an applicable alternative, a softmax prediction layer requires a categorical_crossentropy loss function.
The architecture of a network remains up to you, but you'll at least need a way in and a way out. In Keras (as you've tagged), there are a few ways to do this. Here are some examples:
Example with Keras Sequential
model = Sequential()
model.add(InputLayer(input_shape=(4,))) # sequence of length four
model.add(Dense(3, activation='softmax')) # three possible classes
Example with Keras Functional
input_tensor = Input(shape=(4,))
x = Dense(3, activation='softmax')(input_tensor)
model = Model(input_tensor, x)
Example including input tensor shape in first functional layer (either Sequential or Functional):
model = Sequential()
model.add(Dense(666, activation='relu', input_shape=(4,)))
model.add(Dense(3, activation='softmax'))
Hope that helps!
I'm working on a smaller project to better understand RNN, in particualr LSTM and GRU. I'm not at all an expert, so please bear that in mind.
The problem I'm facing is given as data in the form of:
>>> import numpy as np
>>> import pandas as pd
>>> pd.DataFrame([[1, 2, 3],[1, 2, 1], [1, 3, 2],[2, 3, 1],[3, 1, 1],[3, 3, 2],[4, 3, 3]], columns=['person', 'interaction', 'group'])
person interaction group
0 1 2 3
1 1 2 1
2 1 3 2
3 2 3 1
4 3 1 1
5 3 3 2
6 4 3 3
this is just for explanation. We have different person interacting with different groups in different ways. I've already encoded the various features. The last interaction of a user is always a 3, which means selecting a certain group. In the short example above person 1 chooses group 2, person 2 chooses group 1 and so on.
My whole data set is much bigger but I would like to understand first the conceptual part before throwing models at it. The task I would like to learn is given a sequence of interaction, which group is chosen by the person. A bit more concrete, I would like to have an output a list with all groups (there are 3 groups, 1, 2, 3) sorted by the most likely choice, followed by the second and third likest group. The loss function is therefore a mean reciprocal rank.
I know that in Keras Grus/LSTM can handle various length input. So my three questions are.
The input is of the format:
(samples, timesteps, features)
writing high level code:
import keras.layers as L
import keras.models as M
model_input = L.Input(shape=(?, None, 2))
timestep=None should imply the varying size and 2 is for the feature interaction and group. But what about the samples? How do I define the batches?
For the output I'm a bit puzzled how this should look like in this example? I think for each last interaction of a person I would like to have a list of length 3. Assuming I've set up the output
model_output = L.LSTM(3, return_sequences=False)
I then want to compile it. Is there a way of using the mean reciprocal rank?
model.compile('adam', '?')
I know the questions are fairly high level, but I would like to understand first the big picture and start to play around. Any help would therefore be appreciated.
The concept you've drawn in your question is a pretty good start already. I'll add a few things to make it work, as well as a code example below:
You can specify LSTM(n_hidden, input_shape=(None, 2)) directly, instead of inserting an extra Input layer; the batch dimension is to be omitted for the definition.
Since your model is going to perform some kind of classification (based on time series data) the final layer is what we'd expect from "normal" classification as well, a Dense(num_classes, action='softmax'). Chaining the LSTM and the Dense layer together will first pass the time series input through the LSTM layer and then feed its output (determined by the number of hidden units) into the Dense layer. activation='softmax' allows to compute a class score for each class (we're going to use one-hot-encoding in a data preprocessing step, see code example below). This means class scores are not ordered, but you can always do so via np.argsort or np.argmax.
Categorical crossentropy loss is suited for comparing the classification score, so we'll use that one: model.compile(loss='categorical_crossentropy', optimizer='adam').
Since the number of interactions. i.e. the length of model input, varies from sample to sample we'll use a batch size of 1 and feed in one sample at a time.
The following is a sample implementation w.r.t to the above considerations. Note that I modified your sample data a bit, in order to provide more "reasoning" behind group choices. Also each person needs to perform at least one interaction before choosing a group (i.e. the input sequence cannot be empty); if this is not the case for your data, then introducing an additional no-op interaction (e.g. 0) can help.
import pandas as pd
import tensorflow as tf
model = tf.keras.models.Sequential()
model.add(tf.keras.layers.LSTM(10, input_shape=(None, 2))) # LSTM for arbitrary length series.
model.add(tf.keras.layers.Dense(3, activation='softmax')) # Softmax for class probabilities.
model.compile(loss='categorical_crossentropy', optimizer='adam')
# Example interactions:
# * 1: Likes the group,
# * 2: Dislikes the group,
# * 3: Chooses the group.
df = pd.DataFrame([
[1, 1, 3],
[1, 1, 3],
[1, 2, 2],
[1, 3, 3],
[2, 2, 1],
[2, 2, 3],
[2, 1, 2],
[2, 3, 2],
[3, 1, 1],

[3, 1, 1],

[3, 3, 1]],
columns=['person', 'interaction', 'group']
)
data = [person[1][['interaction', 'group']].values for person in df.groupby('person')]
x_train = [x[:-1] for x in data]
y_train = tf.keras.utils.to_categorical([x[-1, 1]-1 for x in data]) # Expects class labels from 0 to n (-> subtract 1).
print(x_train)
print(y_train)
class TrainGenerator(tf.keras.utils.Sequence):
def __init__(self, x, y):
self.x = x
self.y = y
def __len__(self):
return len(self.x)
def __getitem__(self, index):
# Need to expand arrays to have batch size 1.
return self.x[index][None, :, :], self.y[index][None, :]
model.fit_generator(TrainGenerator(x_train, y_train), epochs=1000)
pred = [model.predict(x[None, :, :]).ravel() for x in x_train]
for p, y in zip(pred, y_train):
print(p, y)
And the corresponding sample output:
[...]
Epoch 1000/1000

[9.9632275e-01 7.5039308e-04 2.9268670e-03] [1. 0. 0.]
Using custom generator expressions: According to the documentation we can use any generator to yield the data. The generator is expected to yield batches of the data and loop over the whole data set indefinitely. When using tf.keras.utils.Sequence we do not need to specify the parameter steps_per_epoch as this will default to len(train_generator). Hence, when using a custom generator, we shall provide this parameter as well:
import itertools as it
model.fit_generator(((x_train[i % len(x_train)][None, :, :],
y_train[i % len(y_train)][None, :]) for i in it.count()),
epochs=1000,
steps_per_epoch=len(x_train))
I've been implementing an autoencoder which receives as inputs vectors that consist only of 0 and 1, such as [1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, ...].
Likewise, another autoencoder that receives as inputs vectors that consist in values between 0 and 1, such as [0.123, 1, 0.9, 0.01, 0.9, ...]. In both cases each vector element is the input value of a node. The activation function of the hidden layers is relu and for the output layer is sigmoid.
I've seen some examples of autoencoders where adam/adadelta are used as optimizer and binary_crossentropy is used as a loss function. For that reason I implemented in both adadelta and binary_crossentropy, but I'm not sure if for both cases it's the correct configuration.
