dropout用于解决过拟合问题。打个比方Dropout类似于性别在生物进化中的角色:物种为了生存往往会倾向于适应这种环境,环境突变则会导致物种难以做出及时反应,性别的出现可以繁衍出适应新环境的变种,有效的阻止过拟合,即避免环境改变时物种可能面临的灭绝。代码例子是sklearn数据集进行简单训练后的模型:
import tensorflow as tf
from sklearn.datasets import load_digits
from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
from sklearn.preprocessing import LabelBinarizer
# load data
digits = load_digits()
X = digits.data
y = digits.target
y = LabelBinarizer().fit_transform(y)
X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(X, y, test_size=.3)
def add_layer(inputs, in_size, out_size, layer_name, activation_function=None, ):
# add one more layer and return the output of this layer
Weights = tf.Variable(tf.random_normal([in_size, out_size]))
biases = tf.Variable(tf.zeros([1, out_size]) + 0.1, )
Wx_plus_b = tf.matmul(inputs, Weights) + biases
# here to dropout
Wx_plus_b = tf.nn.dropout(Wx_plus_b, keep_prob)
if activation_function is None:
outputs = Wx_plus_b
else:
outputs = activation_function(Wx_plus_b, )
tf.summary.histogram(layer_name + '/outputs', outputs)
return outputs
# define placeholder for inputs to network
#保持多少的结果不被dropout掉
keep_prob = tf.placeholder(tf.float32)
xs = tf.placeholder(tf.float32, [None, 64]) # 8x8
ys = tf.placeholder(tf.float32, [None, 10])
# add output layer
l1 = add_layer(xs, 64, 50, 'l1', activation_function=tf.nn.tanh)
prediction = add_layer(l1, 50, 10, 'l2', activation_function=tf.nn.softmax)
# the loss between prediction and real data
cross_entropy = tf.reduce_mean(-tf.reduce_sum(ys * tf.log(prediction),
reduction_indices=[1])) # loss
tf.summary.scalar('loss', cross_entropy)
train_step = tf.train.GradientDescentOptimizer(0.5).minimize(cross_entropy)
sess = tf.Session()
merged = tf.summary.merge_all()
# summary writer goes in here
train_writer = tf.summary.FileWriter("桌面/logs/train", sess.graph)
test_writer = tf.summary.FileWriter("桌面/logs/test", sess.graph)
# tf.initialize_all_variables() no long valid from
init = tf.global_variables_initializer()
sess.run(init)
for i in range(500):
# here to determine the keeping probability,50%dropout掉
sess.run(train_step, feed_dict={xs: X_train, ys: y_train, keep_prob: 0.5})
if i % 50 == 0:
# record loss,记录的时候不需要dropout掉任何东西
train_result = sess.run(merged, feed_dict={xs: X_train, ys: y_train, keep_prob: 1})
test_result = sess.run(merged, feed_dict={xs: X_test, ys: y_test, keep_prob: 1})
train_writer.add_summary(train_result, i)
test_writer.add_summary(test_result, i)
在终端执行:
tensorboard --logdir=~/桌面/logs
tensorboard可视化loss(橘色:testing sets 绿色:training sets):
如果不用dropout就会出现过拟合,training sets效果特别好,而testing sets效果就不行了,这就是训练集训练的时候出现过拟合,对于测试集测试的时候误差就比较大,结果如下:
