Why is tensorflow not initializing variables? - python-3.x

At the very start of declaring the Session with tf.Session(), I declare both tf.global_variables_initializer and tf.local_variables_initializer functions and unfortunately, keep receiving error messages detailing the use of "Uninitialized value Variable_1." Why?
I did some searching around and found this StackExchange Question, but the answer doesn't help my situation. So I looked through the TensorFlow API and found an operation that should return any uninitialized variables, tf.report_uninitialized_variables(). I printed the results and received an empty pair of square brackets, which doesn't make any sense considering the description of my error messages. So what's going on? I've been clawing my eyes out for a day now. Any help is appreciated.

Let's take a look at your main function, starting from with tf.Session() as sess:. This will be the first line executed when you run your program. The next thing that happens is that you are calling the variables_initializers -- but, you have not yet declared any variables! This is because you have not called any of the other functions you have defed. So this is why, when you then call, e.g., neural_network inside a sess.run call, it will create the (uninitialized) variables as neural_networkis called, and then attempt to use them for sess.run. Obviously this will not work since you have not initialized these newly-created variables.
You have to create your network and all necessary variables in the computational graph before calling the initializers. You could try something along these lines:
data = import_data(image_path)
out = neural_network(data)
tr = train(hypothesis=out)
with tf.Session() as sess:
sess.run(tf.global_variables_initializer())
By the way, your function train also has no return value so it is unlikely it will work as you are expecting it to. Please re-read the tutorials for tensorflow to understand how to operate an optimizer.

Is it possible to use a custom generator to train multi input architecture with keras tensorflow 2.0.0?

With TF 2.0.0, I can train an architecture with one input, I can train an architecture with one input using a custom generator, and I can train an architecture with two inputs. But I can't train an architecture with two inputs using a custom generator.
To keep it minimalist, here's a simple example, with no generator and no multiple inputs to start with:
from tensorflow.keras import layers, models, Model, Input, losses
from numpy import random, array, zeros
input1 = Input(shape=2)
dense1 = layers.Dense(5)(input1)
fullModel = Model(inputs=input1, outputs=dense1)
fullModel.summary()
# Generate random examples:
nbSamples = 21
X_train = random.rand(nbSamples, 2)
Y_train = random.rand(nbSamples, 5)
batchSize = 4
fullModel.compile(loss=losses.LogCosh())
fullModel.fit(X_train, Y_train, epochs=10, batch_size=batchSize)
It's a simple dense layer which takes in input vectors of size 2. The randomly generated dataset contains 21 examples and the batch size is 4. Instead of loading all the data and giving them to model.fit(), we can also give a custom generator in input. The main advantage (for RAM consumption) of this is to load only batch by batch rather that the whole dataset. Here is a simple example with the previous architecture and a custom generator:
import json
# Save the last dataset in a file:
with open("./dataset1input.txt", 'w') as file:
for i in range(nbSamples):
example = {"x": X_train[i].tolist(), "y": Y_train[i].tolist()}
file.write(json.dumps(example) + "\n")
def generator1input(datasetPath, batch_size, inputSize, outputSize):
X_batch = zeros((batch_size, inputSize))
Y_batch = zeros((batch_size, outputSize))
i=0
while True:
with open(datasetPath, 'r') as file:
for line in file:
example = json.loads(line)
X_batch[i] = array(example["x"])
Y_batch[i] = array(example["y"])
i+=1
if i % batch_size == 0:
yield (X_batch, Y_batch)
i=0
fullModel.compile(loss=losses.LogCosh())
my_generator = generator1input("./dataset1input.txt", batchSize, 2, 5)
fullModel.fit(my_generator, epochs=10, steps_per_epoch=int(nbSamples/batchSize))
Here, the generator opens the dataset file, but loads only batch_size examples (not nbSamples examples) each time it is called and slides into the file while looping.
Now, I can build a simple functional architecture with 2 inputs, and no generator:
input1 = Input(shape=2)
dense1 = layers.Dense(5)(input1)
subModel1 = Model(inputs=input1, outputs=dense1)
input2 = Input(shape=3)
dense2 = layers.Dense(5)(input2)
subModel2 = Model(inputs=input2, outputs=dense2)
averageLayer = layers.average([subModel1.output, subModel2.output])
fullModel = Model(inputs=[input1, input2], outputs=averageLayer)
fullModel.summary()
# Generate random examples:
nbSamples = 21
X1 = random.rand(nbSamples, 2)
X2 = random.rand(nbSamples, 3)
Y = random.rand(nbSamples, 5)
fullModel.compile(loss=losses.LogCosh())
fullModel.fit([X1, X2], Y, epochs=10, batch_size=batchSize)
Until here, all models compile and run, but I'm not able to use a generator with the last architecture and its 2 inputs... By trying the following code (which should logically work in my opinion):
# Save data in a file:
with open("./dataset.txt", 'w') as file:
for i in range(nbSamples):
example = {"x1": X1[i].tolist(), "x2": X2[i].tolist(), "y": Y[i].tolist()}
file.write(json.dumps(example) + "\n")
def generator(datasetPath, batch_size, inputSize1, inputSize2, outputSize):
X1_batch = zeros((batch_size, inputSize1))
X2_batch = zeros((batch_size, inputSize2))
Y_batch = zeros((batch_size, outputSize))
i=0
while True:
with open(datasetPath, 'r') as file:
for line in file:
example = json.loads(line)
X1_batch[i] = array(example["x1"])
X2_batch[i] = array(example["x2"])
Y_batch[i] = array(example["y"])
i+=1
if i % batch_size == 0:
yield ([X1_batch, X2_batch], Y_batch)
i=0
fullModel.compile(loss=losses.LogCosh())
my_generator = generator("./dataset.txt", batchSize, 2, 3, 5)
fullModel.fit(my_generator, epochs=10, steps_per_epoch=(nbSamples//batchSize))

TypeError: int() argument must be a string, a bytes-like object or a number, not 'tuple'
As explain in the doc, x argument of model.fit() can be A generator or keras.utils.Sequence returning (inputs, targets), and The iterator should return a tuple of length 1, 2, or 3, where the optional second and third elements will be used for y and sample_weight respectively. Thus, I think that it can not take in input more than one generator. Perhaps multiple inputs are not possible with custom generator. Please, would you have an explanation? A solution?
(otherwise, it seems possible to go through tf.data.Dataset.from_generator() with a less custom approach, but I have difficulties to understand what to indicate in the output_signature argument)
[EDIT] Thank you for your response #Francis Tang. In fact, it's possible to use a custom generator, but it allowed me to understand that I just had to change the line:
yield ([X1_batch, X2_batch], Y_batch)
To:
yield (X1_batch, X2_batch), Y_batch
Nevertheless, it is indeed perhaps better to use tf.keras.utils.Sequence. But I find it a bit restrictive.
In particular, I understand in the example given (as well as in most of the examples I could find about Sequence) that __init__() is first used to load the full dataset, which is against the interest of the generator.
But maybe it was a particular example about Sequence(), and there is no need to use __init__() like that: you can directly read a file and load the desired batch into the __getitem__().
In this case, it seems to push to browse each time the data file, or else it is necessary to create a file per batch beforehand (not really optimal).
from tensorflow.python.keras.utils.data_utils import Sequence
class generator(Sequence):
def __init__(self,filename,batch_size):
data = pickle.load(open(filename,'rb'))
self.X1 = data['X1']
self.X2 = data['X2']
self.y = data['y']
self.bs = batch_size
def __len__(self):
return (len(self.y) - 1) // self.bs + 1
def __getitem__(self,idx):
start, end = idx * self.bs, (idx+1) * self.bs
return (self.X1[start:end], self.X2[start:end]), self.y[start:end]
You need to write a class using Sequence: https://www.tensorflow.org/api_docs/python/tf/keras/utils/Sequence

Theano error when using PyMC3: theano.gof.fg.MissingInputError

I am generating some (noisy) data-points (y) with some known parameters (m,c) that represent the equation of a straight line. Using sampling-based Bayesian methods, I now want to know the true values of parameters (m,c) from the data. Therefore, I am using DE Metropolis (PyMC3) to estimate the true parameters.
I am getting theano error theano.gof.fg.MissingInputError: Input 0 of the graph (indices start from 0), used to compute sigmoid(c_interval__), was not provided and not given a value.

I've run into the same problem when following the example how to sample from a black box likelihood found here:
https://docs.pymc.io/notebooks/blackbox_external_likelihood.html
This seems to be a version problem. I'm on Manjaro Linux and also ran theano 1.0.4 and pymc3 3.9 using python 3.8. I could solve the issue and make the code work by downgrading to python 3.7 and pymc3 3.8. This seems to be in issue with python 3.8, as simply downgrading pymc3 did not solve the issue for me. I am far from an expert in pymc3 so I don't have a solution how to fix this issue using the newest versions, but for now downgrading makes my simulations run.
Hope this helps.
Edit: The devs seem to be aware of this, there is a an open issue on their github page

I find that on the first run, I sometimes get a network that has collapsed to the constant function with output 0. Right now my hunch is that this might simply be a numerics problem but I might be wrong.
If so, it's a serious problem as the model I have used here is very simple.
Right now my hunch is that this might simply be a numerics problem
indeed, when running potential(100) I sometimes get values as large as 1E21. The largest points will dominate your loss function and will drive the network parameters.
Even when normalizing your target values e.g. to unit variance, the problem of the largest values dominating the loss would still remain (look e.g. at plt.hist(np.log(potential(100)[1]), bins = 100)).
If you can, try learning the log of val instead of val itself. Note however that then you are changing the assumption of the loss function from 'predictions follow a normal distribution around the target values' to 'log predictions follow a normal distribution around log of the target values'.

Building my own tf.Estimator, how did model_params overwrite model_dir? RuntimeWarning?

Recently I built a customized deep neural net model using TFLearn, which claims to bring deep learning to the scikit-learn estimator API. I could train models and make predictions, but I couldn't get the scoring (evaluate) function to work, so I couldn't do cross-validation. I tried to ask questions about TFLearn in various places, but I got no responses.
It appears that TensorFlow itself has an estimator class. So I am putting TFLearn aside, and I'm trying to follow the guide at https://www.tensorflow.org/extend/estimators. Somehow I'm managing to get variables where they don't belong. Can anyone spot my problem? I will post code and the output.
Note: Of course, I can see the RuntimeWarning at the top of the output. I have found references to this warning online, but so far everyone claims it's harmless. Maybe it is not...

# allow easy exploration of hyperparameters. For now, this just
# returns a single, fixed model_fn.
def model_fn(features, labels, mode):
# Input layer
net = tf.layers.conv1d(features["x"], topology[0], 3, activation=tf.nn.relu)
net = tf.layers.dropout(net, 0.25)
# The core of the network is here (convolutional layers only for now).

sh = tf.shape(features["x"])
net = tf.reshape(net, [sh[0], sh[1], 3, 2])

I can see exactly what went wrong, model_dir (which I left as the default) somehow bound to the value I intended for model_params. How did this happen in my code? I can't see it.
If anyone has advice or suggestions, I would greatly appreciate them. Thanks!
Simply because you're feeding your model_param as a model_dir when you construct your Estimator.
From the tensorflow documentation :
Estimator __init__ function :
__init__(
model_fn,
model_dir=None,
config=None,
params=None
)
Notice how the second argument is the model_dir one. If you want to specify only the params one, you need to pass it as a keyword argument.
model = tf.estimator.Estimator(model_fn, params=model_params)
Or specify all the previous positional arguments :
model = tf.estimator.Estimator(model_fn, None, None, model_params)

How do tf.gradients() work?

I am fairly new to tensorflow, i have seen some tutorials but i dont know how tf.gradients() works. if i give it an input of two 2D matrices, how will it compute the partial derivatives? i am really confused ,please help me if you anyone could, it would be of a great help.
import tensorflow as tf
import numpy as np
X = np.random.rand(3,3)
y = np.random.rand(2,2)
grad = tf.gradients(X,y)
with tf.Session() as sess:
sess.run(grad)
print(grad)
this gives an error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:/Users/Sandeep IPK/PycharmProjects/tests/samples2.py", line 10, in

TensorFlow uses reverse accumulation which is based on the chain rule, to compute the gradient value at point. In order to compute gradient of function with respect to a variable you have to define both. Also you have to specify value at which you want to compute the gradient. In this example you compute gradient of y=x**2+x+1 with respect to x at 2:
#!/usr/bin/env python3
import tensorflow as tf
x = tf.Variable(2.0)
y = x**2 + x - 1
grad = tf.gradients(y, x)
init = tf.global_variables_initializer()
with tf.Session() as sess:
sess.run(init)
grad_value = sess.run(grad)
print(grad_value)
# output: [5.0]
It is also possible to compute a gradient in case your variable is a matrix. In such case the gradient will be also a matrix. Here we use a simple case when the function depends on the sum of all matrix elements:
#!/usr/bin/env python3
import tensorflow as tf
X = tf.Variable(tf.random_normal([3, 3]))
X_sum = tf.reduce_sum(X)
y = X_sum**2 + X_sum - 1
grad = tf.gradients(y, X)
init = tf.global_variables_initializer()
with tf.Session() as sess:
sess.run(init)
grad_value = sess.run(grad)
print(grad_value)
# output: [array([[ 9.6220665, 9.6220665, 9.6220665],
# [ 9.6220665, 9.6220665, 9.6220665],
# [ 9.6220665, 9.6220665, 9.6220665]], dtype=float32)]
