之前的博客我们已经对RNN模型有了个粗略的了解。作为一个时序性模型,RNN的强大不需要我在这里重复了。今天,让我们来看看除了RNN外另一个特殊的,同时也是广为人知的强大的神经网络模型,即CNN模型。今天的讨论主要是基于Tensorflow的CIFAR10教程,不过作为对比,我们也会对Tensorflow的MINST教程作解析以及对比。很快大家就会发现,逻辑上考虑,其实内容都是大同小异的。由于所对应的目标不一样,在数据处理方面可能存在着些许差异,这里我们以CIFAR10的为基准,有兴趣的朋友欢迎去阅读并学习MNIST的过程,地址点击这里。CIFAR10的英文教程在Tensorflow官网上可以获得,教程代码地址点击这里。
CNN简介
CNN是一个神奇的深度学习框架,也是深度学习学科里的一个异类。在被誉为AI寒冬的90年末到2000年初,在大部分学者都弃坑的情况下,CNN的效用却不减反增,感谢Yann LeCun!CNN的架构其实很符合其名,Convolutional Neural Network,CNN在运做的开始运用了卷积(convolution)的概念,外加pooling等方式在多次卷积了图像并形成多个特征图后,输入被平铺开进入一个完全连接的多层神经网络里(fully connected network)里,并由输出的softmax来判断图片的分类情况。该框架的发展史也很有趣,早在90年代末,以LeCun命名的Le-Net5就已经闻名。在深度学习火热后,更多的框架变种也接踵而至,较为闻名的包括多伦多大学的AlexNet,谷歌的GoogLeNet,牛津的OxfordNet外还有Network in Network(NIN),VGG16等多个network。最近,对物体识别的研究开发了RCNN框架,可见在深度学习发展迅猛的今天,CNN框架依然是很多著名研究小组的课题,特别是在了解了Alpha-Go的运作里也可以看到CNN的身影,可见其能力!至于CNN模型的基础构架,这方面的资源甚多,就不一一列举了。
CIFAR10代码分析
在运行CIFAR10代码时,你只需要下载该代码,然后cd到代码目录后直接输入python cifar10_train.py就可以了。默认的迭代步骤为100万步,每一步骤需要约3~4秒,运行5小时可以完成近10万步。由于根据cifar10_train.py的描述10万步的准确率为86%左右,我们运行近5个小时左右就可以了,没必要运行全部的100万步。查看结果时,运行python cifar_10_eval.py就可以了。由于模型被存储在了tmp目录里,eval文件可以找寻到最近保存的模型并运行该模型,所以还是很方便的。这个系统在运行后可以从照片里识别10种不同的物体,包括飞机等。这么好玩的系统,快让我们来看一看是怎么实现的吧!
首先,让我们来看下cifar1_train.py文件。文件里的核心为train函数,它的表现如下:
def train():
"""Train CIFAR-10 for a number of steps."""
with tf.Graph().as_default():
global_step = tf.Variable(0, trainable=False)
# Get images and labels for CIFAR-10.
# 输入选用的是distored_inputs函数
images, labels = cifar10.distorted_inputs()
# Build a Graph that computes the logits predictions from the
# inference model.
logits = cifar10.inference(images)
# Calculate loss.
loss = cifar10.loss(logits, labels)
# Build a Graph that trains the model with one batch of examples and
# updates the model parameters.
train_op = cifar10.train(loss, global_step)
# Create a saver.
saver = tf.train.Saver(tf.all_variables())
# Build the summary operation based on the TF collection of Summaries.
summary_op = tf.merge_all_summaries()
# Build an initialization operation to run below.
init = tf.initialize_all_variables()
# Start running operations on the Graph.
sess = tf.Session(config=tf.ConfigProto(
log_device_placement=FLAGS.log_device_placement))
sess.run(init)
# Start the queue runners.
tf.train.start_queue_runners(sess=sess)
summary_writer = tf.train.SummaryWriter(FLAGS.train_dir, sess.graph)
# 在最高的迭代步骤数里进行循环迭代
for step in xrange(FLAGS.max_steps):
start_time = time.time()
_, loss_value = sess.run([train_op, loss])
duration = time.time() - start_time
assert not np.isnan(loss_value), 'Model diverged with loss = NaN'
# 每10个输入数据显示次step,loss,时间等运行数据
if step % 10 == 0:
num_examples_per_step = FLAGS.batch_size
examples_per_sec = num_examples_per_step / duration
sec_per_batch = float(duration)
format_str = ('%s: step %d, loss = %.2f (%.1f examples/sec; %.3f '
'sec/batch)')
print (format_str % (datetime.now(), step, loss_value,
examples_per_sec, sec_per_batch))
# 每100个输入数据将网络的状况体现在summary里
if step % 100 == 0:
summary_str = sess.run(summary_op)
summary_writer.add_summary(summary_str, step)
# Save the model checkpoint periodically.
# 每1000个输入数据保存次模型
if step % 1000 == 0 or (step + 1) == FLAGS.max_steps:
checkpoint_path = os.path.join(FLAGS.train_dir, 'model.ckpt')
saver.save(sess, checkpoint_path, global_step=step)
这个训练函数本身逻辑很清晰,除了它运用了大量的cifar10.py文件里的函数外,一个值得注意的地方是输入里应用的是distorded_inputs函数。这个很有意思,因为据论文表达,对输入数据进行一定的处理后可以得到新的数据,这是增加数据存储量的一个简便的方法,那么具体它是如何做到的呢?让我们来看看这个distorded_inputs函数。在cifar10.py文件里,distorded_inputs函数实质上是一个wrapper,包装了来自cifar10_input.py函数里的distorted_inputs()函数。这个函数的逻辑如下:
def distorted_inputs(data_dir, batch_size):
"""Construct distorted input for CIFAR training using the Reader ops.
Args:
data_dir: Path to the CIFAR-10 data directory.
batch_size: Number of images per batch.
Returns:
images: Images. 4D tensor of [batch_size, IMAGE_SIZE, IMAGE_SIZE, 3] size.
labels: Labels. 1D tensor of [batch_size] size.
"""
filenames = [os.path.join(data_dir, 'data_batch_%d.bin' % i)
for i in xrange(1, 6)]
for f in filenames:
if not tf.gfile.Exists(f):
raise ValueError('Failed to find file: ' + f)
# Create a queue that produces the filenames to read.
filename_queue = tf.train.string_input_producer(filenames)
# Read examples from files in the filename queue.
read_input = read_cifar10(filename_queue)
reshaped_image = tf.cast(read_input.uint8image, tf.float32)
height = IMAGE_SIZE
width = IMAGE_SIZE
# Image processing for training the network. Note the many random
# distortions applied to the image.
# Randomly crop a [height, width] section of the image.
# 步骤1:随机截取一个以[高,宽]为大小的图矩阵。
distorted_image = tf.random_crop(reshaped_image, [height, width, 3])
# Randomly flip the image horizontally.
# 步骤2:随机颠倒图片的左右。概率为50%
distorted_image = tf.image.random_flip_left_right(distorted_image)
# Because these operations are not commutative, consider randomizing
# the order their operation.
# 步骤3:随机改变图片的亮度以及色彩对比。
distorted_image = tf.image.random_brightness(distorted_image,
max_delta=63)
distorted_image = tf.image.random_contrast(distorted_image,
lower=0.2, upper=1.8)
# Subtract off the mean and divide by the variance of the pixels.
float_image = tf.image.per_image_whitening(distorted_image)
# Ensure that the random shuffling has good mixing properties.
min_fraction_of_examples_in_queue = 0.4
min_queue_examples = int(NUM_EXAMPLES_PER_EPOCH_FOR_TRAIN *
min_fraction_of_examples_in_queue)
print ('Filling queue with %d CIFAR images before starting to train. '
'This will take a few minutes.' % min_queue_examples)
# Generate a batch of images and labels by building up a queue of examples.
return _generate_image_and_label_batch(float_image, read_input.label,
min_queue_examples, batch_size,
shuffle=True)
这里每一张图片被随机的截取一片图后有一定的概率被翻转,改变亮度对比等步骤。另外,最后一段的意思为在queue里有了不少于40%的数据的时候训练才能开始。那么在测试的时候,我们需要经过这个步骤么?答案是非也。在cifar10_input.py文件里,distorded_inputs函数的下方,一个名为inputs的函数代表了输入被运用在eval时的逻辑。在输入参数方面,这个inputs函数在保留了distorded_inputs的同时增加了一个名为eval_data的参数,一个bool参数代表了是运用训练的数据还是测试的数据。下面,让我们来大概看下这个函数的逻辑。
def inputs(eval_data, data_dir, batch_size):
"""Construct input for CIFAR evaluation using the Reader ops.
Args:
eval_data: bool, indicating if one should use the train or eval data set.
data_dir: Path to the CIFAR-10 data directory.

"""
if not eval_data:
filenames = [os.path.join(data_dir, 'data_batch_%d.bin' % i)
for i in xrange(1, 6)]
num_examples_per_epoch = NUM_EXAMPLES_PER_EPOCH_FOR_TRAIN
else:
filenames = [os.path.join(data_dir, 'test_batch.bin')]
num_examples_per_epoch = NUM_EXAMPLES_PER_EPOCH_FOR_EVAL
for f in filenames:
if not tf.gfile.Exists(f):
raise ValueError('Failed to find file: ' + f)
# Create a queue that produces the filenames to read.
filename_queue = tf.train.string_input_producer(filenames)
# Read examples from files in the filename queue.
read_input = read_cifar10(filename_queue)
reshaped_image = tf.cast(read_input.uint8image, tf.float32)
height = IMAGE_SIZE
width = IMAGE_SIZE
# Image processing for evaluation.
# Crop the central [height, width] of the image.
# 截取图片中心区域
resized_image = tf.image.resize_image_with_crop_or_pad(reshaped_image,
width, height)
# Subtract off the mean and divide by the variance of the pixels.
# 平衡图片的色差
float_image = tf.image.per_image_whitening(resized_image)
# Ensure that the random shuffling has good mixing properties.
min_fraction_of_examples_in_queue = 0.4
min_queue_examples = int(num_examples_per_epoch *
min_fraction_of_examples_in_queue)
# Generate a batch of images and labels by building up a queue of examples.
return _generate_image_and_label_batch(float_image, read_input.label,
min_queue_examples, batch_size,
shuffle=False)
这里,我们看到截取只有图片的中心,另外处理也只有平衡色差。但是,聪明的读者朋友一定能想到,如果一张关于飞机的图片是以飞机头为图片中心的,而训练集合里所有的飞机图片都是以机翼为图片中心的话,我们之前的distorded_inputs函数将有机会截取飞机头的区域,从而给我们的测试图片提供相似信息。另外,随机调整色差也包含了平均色差,所以我们的训练集实质上包含了更广,更多种的可能性,故可想而之会有机会得到更好的效果。
那么,讲了关于输入的小窍门,我们应该来看看具体的CNN模型了。如何制造一个CNN模型呢?让我们先来看一个简单的版本,即MNIST教程里的模型:
# The variables below hold all the trainable weights. They are passed an
# initial value which will be assigned when we call:
# {tf.initialize_all_variables().run()}
conv1_weights = tf.Variable(
tf.truncated_normal([5, 5, NUM_CHANNELS, 32], # 5x5 filter, depth 32.

# shape matches the data layout: [image index, y, x, depth].
conv = tf.nn.conv2d(data,
conv1_weights,
strides=[1, 1, 1, 1],
padding='SAME')
# Bias and rectified linear non-linearity.

# broadcasts the biases.
hidden = tf.nn.relu(tf.matmul(reshape, fc1_weights) + fc1_biases)
# Add a 50% dropout during training only. Dropout also scales
# activations such that no rescaling is needed at evaluation time.
if train:
hidden = tf.nn.dropout(hidden, 0.5, seed=SEED)
return tf.matmul(hidden, fc2_weights) + fc2_biases
# Training computation: logits + cross-entropy loss.
logits = model(train_data_node, True)
loss = tf.reduce_mean(tf.nn.sparse_softmax_cross_entropy_with_logits(
logits, train_labels_node))

regularizers = (tf.nn.l2_loss(fc1_weights) + tf.nn.l2_loss(fc1_biases) +
tf.nn.l2_loss(fc2_weights) + tf.nn.l2_loss(fc2_biases))
# Add the regularization term to the loss.
loss += 5e-4 * regularizers

eval_prediction = tf.nn.softmax(model(eval_data))
这段代码很直白,在定义了convolution1,convolution2,fully_connected1和fully_connected2层神经网络的weight和biases参数后,在模型函数里,我们通过conv2d, relu, max_pool等方式在两次重复后将得到的结果重新整理后输入那个fully connected的神经网络中,即matmul(reshape,fc1_weights) + fc1_biases。之后再经历了第二层的fully connected net后得到logits。定义loss以及optimizer等常见的过程后结果是由softmax来取得。这个逻辑我们在CIFAR10里也会见到,它的表达如下:
def inference(images):
"""Build the CIFAR-10 model.
Args:
images: Images returned from distorted_inputs() or inputs().

这里的逻辑跟之前的在框架上基本一样,不同在哪里呢?首先,这次我们的输入是彩图。学过图片处理的朋友肯定知道彩图有3个channel,而之前MNIST只是单个channel的灰白图。所以,在我们制作feature map的时候,由1个channel map到了32个(注,那个NUM_CHANNELS是1)。这里我们不过把NUM_CHANNELS给直接写为了3而已。另外,我们还运用了variable scope,这是一种很好的方式来界定何时对那些变量进行分享,同时,我们也不需要反复定义weight和biases的名字了。
对Loss的定义由loss函数写明,其内容无非是运用了sparse_softmax_corss_entropy_with_logits,基本流程同于MNIST,这里将不详细描述。最后,cifar10.py里的train函数虽然逻辑很简单,但是也有值得注意的地方。代码如下:
def train(total_loss, global_step):
"""Train CIFAR-10 model.

average for all trainable variables.

Returns:

"""
# Variables that affect learning rate.

lr = tf.train.exponential_decay(INITIAL_LEARNING_RATE,
global_step,
decay_steps,

staircase=True)
tf.scalar_summary('learning_rate', lr)
# Generate moving averages of all losses and associated summaries.
loss_averages_op = _add_loss_summaries(total_loss)
# Compute gradients.
# control dependencies的运用。这里只有loss_averages_op完成了
# 我们才会进行gradient descent的优化。
with tf.control_dependencies([loss_averages_op]):
opt = tf.train.GradientDescentOptimizer(lr)
grads = opt.compute_gradients(total_loss)
# Apply gradients.
apply_gradient_op = opt.apply_gradients(grads, global_step=global_step)
# Add histograms for trainable variables.
for var in tf.trainable_variables():
tf.histogram_summary(var.op.name, var)

if grad is not None:

MOVING_AVERAGE_DECAY, global_step)
variables_averages_op = variable_averages.apply(tf.trainable_variables())
with tf.control_dependencies([apply_gradient_op, variables_averages_op]):
train_op = tf.no_op(name='train')
return train_op
这里多出的一些内容为收集网络运算时的一些临时结果,如记录所有的loss的loss_averages_op = _add_loss_summaries(total_loss)以及对参数的histogram:tf.histogram_summary(var.op.name, var)。值得注意的地方是这里多次地使用了control_dependency概念,即dependency条件没有达成前,dependency内的代码是不会运行的。这个概念在Tensorflow中有着重要的意义,这里是一个实例,给大家很好的阐述了这个概念,建议有兴趣的朋友可以多加研究。至此,图片的训练便到此为止。
那么eval文件是如何评价模型的好坏的呢?让我们来简单的看下eval文件的内容。我们首先通过evaluate函数中的cifar10.inputs函数得到输入图片以及其对应的label,之后,通过之前介绍的inference函数,即CNN框架得到logits,之后我们通过tensorflow的in_top_k函数来判断我们得到的那个logit是否在我们label里。这里的k被设置为1并对结果做展示以及记录等工作。有兴趣的朋友可以仔细阅读这段代码,这里将不详细说明。
至此,系统完成,我们对于如何建立一个CNN系统有了初步了解。
