tensorflow variables inside class differing from the one outside - python-3.x

Question

I am trying to solve a ANN model using Tensorflow. At the moment, I am able to run the program as a long string of text. Now however, I would like to convert my code to something that is easier to use. So I converted my code to a class. Here is what I did. (basically copied the entire set of code to a class.
import os
import tensorflow as tf
class NNmodel:
def __init__(self,
layers, inpShape, outShape,
features,
learning_rate=0.1, nSteps = 100,
saveFolder='models'):
self.layers = layers
self.features = features
self.learning_rate = learning_rate
self.saveFolder = saveFolder
self.nSteps = 100
self.d = tf.placeholder(shape = inpShape, dtype = tf.float32, name='d') # input layer
self.dOut = tf.placeholder(shape = outShape, dtype = tf.float32, name='dOut') # output layer
self.weights = []
self.biases = []
self.compute = [self.d]
layerSizes = [self.features] + [l['size'] for l in self.layers]
for i, (v1, v2) in enumerate(zip(layerSizes, layerSizes[1:])):
self.weights.append(
tf.Variable(np.random.randn(v1, v2)*0.1, dtype = tf.float32, name='W{}'.format(i)))
self.biases.append(
tf.Variable(np.zeros((1,1)), dtype = tf.float32, name='b{}'.format(i)) )
self.compute.append( tf.matmul(
self.compute[-1], self.weights[i]) + self.biases[i] )
if self.layers[i]['activation'] == 'tanh':
self.compute.append( tf.tanh( self.compute[-1] ) )
if self.layers[i]['activation'] == 'relu':
self.compute.append( tf.nn.relu( self.compute[-1] ) )
if self.layers[i]['activation'] == 'sigmoid':
self.compute.append( tf.sigmoid ( self.compute[-1] ) )
self.result = self.compute[-1]
self.delta = self.dOut - self.result
self.cost = tf.reduce_mean(self.delta**2)
self.optimizer = tf.train.AdamOptimizer(
learning_rate = self.learning_rate).minimize(self.cost)
return
def findVal(self, func, inpDict, restorePt=None):
saver = tf.train.Saver()
sess = tf.Session()
init = tf.global_variables_initializer()
sess.run(init)
if restorePt is not None:
try:
saver.restore(sess, tf.train.latest_checkpoint(restorePt) )
print('Session restored')
except Exception as e:
print('Unable to restore the session ...')
return None
else:
print('Warning, no restore point selected ...')
result = sess.run(func, feed_dict = inpDict)
sess.close()
return result
def optTF(self, inpDict, printSteps=50, modelFile=None):
cost = []
saver = tf.train.Saver()
sess = tf.Session()
init = tf.global_variables_initializer()
sess.run(init)
print('x'*100)
for i in range(self.nSteps):
# First run the optimizer ...
sess.run(self.optimizer, feed_dict = inpDict)
# Save all the data you want to save
c = sess.run( self.cost, feed_dict = inpDict)
cost.append(c)
if (i%printSteps) == 0:
print('{:5d}'.format(i))
result = self.run(self.result, feed_dict = inpDict)
if modelFile is not None:
path = saver.save(sess, os.path.join(
self.saveFolder, modelFile))
print('Model saved in: {}'.format(path))
else:
print('Warning! model not saved')
sess.close()
return cost, result
When I use this model, I see that there seems to be a problem:
N = 500
features = 2
nSteps = 1000
X = [ (np.random.random(N))*np.random.randint(1000, 2000) for i in range(features)]
X = np.array([np.random.random(N), np.random.random(N)])
data = [X.T, X[0].reshape(-1, 1)]
layers = [
{'name':'6', 'size': 10, 'activation':'tanh'},
{'name':'7', 'size': 1, 'activation':'linear'},
]
m1 = NNmodel(layers, inpShape=np.shape(data[0]), outShape = np.shape(data[1]),
features=features,
learning_rate=0.1, nSteps = 100,
saveFolder='models1')
d = tf.placeholder(shape = np.shape(data[0]), dtype = tf.float32, name='d_4')
dOut = tf.placeholder(shape = np.shape(data[1]), dtype = tf.float32, name='dOut')
m1.findVal(m1.result, {d: data[0], dOut:data[1]})
Now it appears that there is a mismatch between the placeholders that I am using d and dOut that I provide form outside, and the ones that are already present within the model self.d and self.dOut. How do I solve this problem?

Answer 1

Why not to just use the placeholders declared within the model?
m1.findVal(m1.result, {m1.d: data[0], m1.dOut:data[1]})
