Find wrongly categorized samples from validation step - keras

Question

I am using a keras neural net for identifying category in which the data belongs.
self.model.compile(loss='categorical_crossentropy',
optimizer=keras.optimizers.Adam(lr=0.001, decay=0.0001),
metrics=[categorical_accuracy])
Fit function
history = self.model.fit(self.X,
{'output': self.Y},
validation_split=0.3,
epochs=400,
batch_size=32
)
I am interested in finding out which labels are getting categorized wrongly in the validation step. Seems like a good way to understand what is happening under the hood.

Answer 1

You can use model.predict_classes(validation_data) to get the predicted classes for your validation data, and compare these predictions with the actual labels to find out where the model was wrong. Something like this:
predictions = model.predict_classes(validation_data)
wrong = np.where(predictions != Y_validation)

Answer 2

If you are interested in looking 'under the hood', I'd suggest to use
model.predict(validation_data_x)
to see the scores for each class, for each observation of the validation set.
This should shed some light on which categories the model is not so good at classifying. The way to predict the final class is
scores = model.predict(validation_data_x)
preds = np.argmax(scores, axis=1)
be sure to use the proper axis for np.argmax (I'm assuming your observation axis is 1). Use preds to then compare with the real class.
Also, as another exploration you want to see the overall accuracy on this dataset, use
model.evaluate(x=validation_data_x, y=validation_data_y)

Answer 3

I ended up creating a metric which prints the "worst performing category id + score" on each iteration. Ideas from link
import tensorflow as tf
import numpy as np
class MaxIoU(object):
def __init__(self, num_classes):
super().__init__()
self.num_classes = num_classes
def max_iou(self, y_true, y_pred):
# Wraps np_max_iou method and uses it as a TensorFlow op.
# Takes numpy arrays as its arguments and returns numpy arrays as
# its outputs.
return tf.py_func(self.np_max_iou, [y_true, y_pred], tf.float32)
def np_max_iou(self, y_true, y_pred):
# Compute the confusion matrix to get the number of true positives,
# false positives, and false negatives
# Convert predictions and target from categorical to integer format
target = np.argmax(y_true, axis=-1).ravel()
predicted = np.argmax(y_pred, axis=-1).ravel()
# Trick from torchnet for bincounting 2 arrays together
# https://github.com/pytorch/tnt/blob/master/torchnet/meter/confusionmeter.py
x = predicted + self.num_classes * target
bincount_2d = np.bincount(x.astype(np.int32), minlength=self.num_classes**2)
assert bincount_2d.size == self.num_classes**2
conf = bincount_2d.reshape((self.num_classes, self.num_classes))
# Compute the IoU and mean IoU from the confusion matrix
true_positive = np.diag(conf)
false_positive = np.sum(conf, 0) - true_positive
false_negative = np.sum(conf, 1) - true_positive
# Just in case we get a division by 0, ignore/hide the error and set the value to 0
with np.errstate(divide='ignore', invalid='ignore'):
iou = false_positive / (true_positive + false_positive + false_negative)
iou[np.isnan(iou)] = 0
return np.max(iou).astype(np.float32) + np.argmax(iou).astype(np.float32)

usage:
custom_metric = MaxIoU(len(catagories))
self.model.compile(loss='categorical_crossentropy',
optimizer=keras.optimizers.Adam(lr=0.001, decay=0.0001),
metrics=[categorical_accuracy, custom_metric.max_iou])
