Two input layers for LSTM Neural Network? - tensorflow

I am now building a neural network, and I am facing the task of adding another input layer (since now I just needed one).
In particular, this was the code previously:
###...
if(self.net_embedding==0):
l_input = Input(shape=self.win_size, dtype='int32', name='input_act')
emb_input = Embedding(output_dim=params["output_dim_embedding"], input_dim=unique_events + 1, input_length=self.win_size)(l_input)
toBePassed=emb_input
elif(self.net_embedding==1):
self.getWord2VecEmbeddings(params['word2vec_size'])
X_train=self.encodePrefixes(params['word2vec_size'],X_train)
l_input = Input(shape = (self.win_size, params['word2vec_size']), name = 'input_act')
toBePassed=l_input
l1 = LSTM(params["shared_lstm_size"],return_sequences=True, kernel_initializer='glorot_uniform',dropout=params['dropout'])(toBePassed)
l1 = BatchNormalization()(l1)
#and so on with the rest of the layers...
The input of the model (X_train) was just an array of arrays (with size = self.win_size) of integers (e.g. [[0 1 2 3] [1 2 3 4]...] if self.win_size = 4), where the integers represent categorical elements.
As you can see, I also have two types of embeddings for this input:
Embedding layer
Word2Vec encoding
Now, I need to add another input to the net, which is as well an array of arrays (with size = self.win_size again) of integers (eg. [[0 123 334 2212][123 334 2212 4888]...], but this time I don't need to apply any embedding (I think) because the elements here are not categorical (they represent elapsed time in seconds).
I tried by simply changing the net to:
#...
if(self.net_embedding==0):
l_input = Input(shape=self.win_size, dtype='int32', name='input_act')
emb_input = Embedding(output_dim=params["output_dim_embedding"], input_dim=unique_events + 1, input_length=self.win_size)(l_input)
toBePassed=emb_input
elif(self.net_embedding==1):
self.getWord2VecEmbeddings(params['word2vec_size'])
X_train=self.encodePrefixes(params['word2vec_size'],X_train)
l_input = Input(shape = (self.win_size, params['word2vec_size']), name = 'input_act')
toBePassed=l_input
elapsed_time_input = Input(shape=self.win_size, name='input_time')
input_concat = Concatenate(axis=1)([toBePassed, elapsed_time_input])
l1 = LSTM(params["shared_lstm_size"],return_sequences=True, kernel_initializer='glorot_uniform',dropout=params['dropout'])(input_concat)
l1 = BatchNormalization()(l1)
#and so on with other layers...
but I get the error:
ValueError: A `Concatenate` layer requires inputs with matching shapes except for the concatenation axis. Received: input_shape=[(None, 4, 12), (None, 4)]
Do you please have any solution for this? Any kind of help would be really appreciated, since I have a deadline in a few days and I'm smashing my head on this for so long now! Thanks :)

There are two problems with your approach.
First, inputs to LSTM should have a shape of (batch_size, num_steps, num_feats), yet your elapsed_time_input has shape (None, 4). You need to expand its dimension to get the proper shape (None, 4, 1).
elapsed_time_input = tf.keras.layers.Reshape((-1, 1))(elapsed_time_input)
or
elapsed_time_input = tf.expand_dims(elapsed_time_input, axis=-1)
With this, "elapsed time in seconds" will be seen as just another feature of a timestep.
Secondly, you'll want to concatenate the two inputs in the feature dimension (not the timestep dimension).
input_concat = Concatenate(axis=-1)([toBePassed, elapsed_time_input])
or
input_concat = Concatenate(axis=2)([toBePassed, elapsed_time_input])
After this, you'll get a keras tensor with a shape of (None, 4, 13). It represents a batch of time series, each having 4 timesteps and 13 features per step (12 original features + elapsed time in second for each step).

How to specify input layer with Keras

I came across this code for tuning the topology of the neural network. However I am unsure of how I can instantiate the first layer without flatening the input.
My input is like this:
With M features (the rows) and N samples (the columns).
How can I create the first (input) layer?
# Initialize sequential API and start building model.
model = keras.Sequential()
model.add(keras.layers.Flatten(input_shape=(28,28)))
# Tune the number of hidden layers and units in each.
# Number of hidden layers: 1 - 5
# Number of Units: 32 - 512 with stepsize of 32
for i in range(1, hp.Int("num_layers", 2, 6)):
model.add(
keras.layers.Dense(
units=hp.Int("units_" + str(i), min_value=32, max_value=512, step=32),
activation="relu")
)
# Tune dropout layer with values from 0 - 0.3 with stepsize of 0.1.
model.add(keras.layers.Dropout(hp.Float("dropout_" + str(i), 0, 0.3, step=0.1)))
# Add output layer.
model.add(keras.layers.Dense(units=10, activation="softmax"))
I know that Keras usually instantiates the first hidden layer along with the input layer, but I don't see how I can do it in this framework. Below is the code for instantiating input + first hidden layer at once.
model.add(Dense(100, input_shape=(CpG_num,), kernel_initializer='normal', activation='relu')
If you have multiple inputs and want to set your input shape, let's suppose you have a dataframe with m-> rows, n-> columns... then simply do this...
m = no_of_rows #1000
n = no_of_columns #10
no_of_layers = 64
#we will not write m because m will be taken as a batch here.
_input = tf.keras.layers.Input(shape=(n))
dense = tf.keras.layers.Dense(no_of_layers)(_input)
output = tf.keras.backend.function(_input , dense)
#Now, I can see that it is working or not...!
x = np.random.randn(1000 , 10)
print(output(x).shape)

ValueError: Dimensions must be equal in Tensorflow/Keras

My codes are as follow:
v = tf.Variable(initial_value=v, trainable=True)
v.shape is (1, 768)
In the model:
inputs_sents = keras.Input(shape=(50,3))
inputs_events = keras.Input(shape=(50,768))
x_1 = tf.matmul(v,tf.transpose(inputs_events))
x_2 = tf.matmul(x_1,inputs_sents)
But I got an error,
ValueError: Dimensions must be equal, but are 768 and 50 for
'{{node BatchMatMulV2_3}} =
BatchMatMulV2[T=DT_FLOAT,
adj_x=false,
adj_y=false](BatchMatMulV2_3/ReadVariableOp,
Transpose_3)' with input shapes: [1,768], [768,50,?]
I think it takes consideration of the batch? But how shall I deal with this?
v is a trainable vector (or 2d array with first dimension being 1), I want it to be trained in the training process.
PS: This is the result I got using the codes provided by the first answer, I think it is incorrect cause keras already takes consideration of the first batch dimension.
Plus, from the keras documentation,
shape: A shape tuple (integers), not including the batch size. For instance, shape=(32,) indicates that the expected input will be batches of 32-dimensional vectors. Elements of this tuple can be None; 'None' elements represent dimensions where the shape is not known.
https://keras.io/api/layers/core_layers/input/
Should I rewrite my codes without keras?
The shape of a batch is denoted by None:
import numpy as np
inputs_sents = keras.Input(shape=(None,1,3))
inputs_events = keras.Input(shape=(None,1,768))
v = np.ones(shape=(1,768), dtype=np.float32)
v = tf.Variable(initial_value=v, trainable=True)
x_1 = tf.matmul(v,tf.transpose(inputs_events))
x_2 = tf.matmul(x_1,inputs_sents)

How to correctly ignore padded or missing timesteps at decoding time in multi-feature sequences with LSTM autonecoder

I am trying to learn a latent representation for text sequence (multiple features (3)) by doing reconstruction USING AUTOENCODER. As some of the sequences are shorter than the maximum pad length or a number of time steps I am considering (seq_length=15), I am not sure if reconstruction will learn to ignore the timesteps or not for calculating loss or accuracies.
I followed suggestions from this answer to crop the outputs but my losses are nan and several of accuracies as well.
input1 = keras.Input(shape=(seq_length,),name='input_1')
input2 = keras.Input(shape=(seq_length,),name='input_2')
input3 = keras.Input(shape=(seq_length,),name='input_3')
input1_emb = layers.Embedding(70,32,input_length=seq_length,mask_zero=True)(input1)
input2_emb = layers.Embedding(462,192,input_length=seq_length,mask_zero=True)(input2)
input3_emb = layers.Embedding(84,36,input_length=seq_length,mask_zero=True)(input3)
merged = layers.Concatenate()([input1_emb, input2_emb,input3_emb])
activ_func = 'tanh'
encoded = layers.LSTM(120,activation=activ_func,input_shape=(seq_length,),return_sequences=True)(merged) #
encoded = layers.LSTM(60,activation=activ_func,return_sequences=True)(encoded)
encoded = layers.LSTM(15,activation=activ_func)(encoded)
# Decoder reconstruct inputs
decoded1 = layers.RepeatVector(seq_length)(encoded)
decoded1 = layers.LSTM(60, activation= activ_func , return_sequences=True)(decoded1)
decoded1 = layers.LSTM(120, activation= activ_func , return_sequences=True,name='decoder1_last')(decoded1)
Decoder one has an output shape of (None, 15, 120).
input_copy_1 = layers.TimeDistributed(layers.Dense(70, activation='softmax'))(decoded1)
input_copy_2 = layers.TimeDistributed(layers.Dense(462, activation='softmax'))(decoded1)
input_copy_3 = layers.TimeDistributed(layers.Dense(84, activation='softmax'))(decoded1)
For each output, I am trying to crop the O padded timesteps as suggested by this answer. padding has 0 where actual input was missing (had zero due to padding) and 1 otherwise
#tf.function
def cropOutputs(x):
#x[0] is softmax of respective feature (time distributed) on top of decoder
#x[1] is the actual input feature
padding = tf.cast( tf.not_equal(x[1][1],0), dtype=tf.keras.backend.floatx())
print(padding)
return x[0]*tf.tile(tf.expand_dims(padding, axis=-1),tf.constant([1,x[0].shape[2]], tf.int32))
Applying crop function to all three outputs.
input_copy_1 = layers.Lambda(cropOutputs, name='input_copy_1', output_shape=(None, 15, 70))([input_copy_1,input1])
input_copy_2 = layers.Lambda(cropOutputs, name='input_copy_2', output_shape=(None, 15, 462))([input_copy_2,input2])
input_copy_3 = layers.Lambda(cropOutputs, name='input_copy_3', output_shape=(None, 15, 84))([input_copy_3,input3])
My logic is to crop timesteps of each feature (all 3 features for sequence have the same length, meaning they miss timesteps together). But for timestep, they have been applied softmax as per their feature size (70,462,84) so I have to zero out timestep by making a multi-dimensional mask array of zeros or ones equal to this feature size with help of mask padding, and multiply by respective softmax representation using this using multi-dimensional mask array.
I am not sure I am doing this right or not as I have Nan losses for these inputs as well as other accuracies have that I am learning jointly with this task (it happens only with this cropping thing).
If it helps someone, I end up cropping the padded entries from the loss directly (taking some keras code pointer from these answers).
#tf.function
def masked_cc_loss(y_true, y_pred):
mask = tf.keras.backend.all(tf.equal(y_true, masked_val_hotencoded), axis=-1)
mask = 1 - tf.cast(mask, tf.keras.backend.floatx())
loss = tf.keras.losses.CategoricalCrossentropy()(y_true, y_pred) * mask
return tf.keras.backend.sum(loss) / tf.keras.backend.sum(mask) # averaging by the number of unmasked entries

How to map input image with neurons in first conv layer in CNN?

I just completed ANN course and started learning CNN. I have basic understanding of padding and stride operation works in CNN.
But have difficultly in mapping input image with neurons in first conv layer but i have basic
understanding of how input features are mapped to first hidden layer in ANN.
What is best way of understanding mapping between input image with neurons in first conv layer?
How can I clarify my doubts about the below code example? Code is taken from DL course in Coursera.

How is this input image of size 64*64*3 is processed by 8 filter of each size 4*4*3?
stride = 1, padding = same and batch_size = 1.
What I have understood till now is each neuron in first conv layer will have 8 filters and each of them having size 4*4*3. Each neuron in first convolution layer will take portion of the input image which is same as filter size (which is here 4*4*3) and apply the convolution operation and produces eight 64*64 features mapping.
If my understanding is correct then:
1> Why we need striding operation since kernel size and portion input image proceed by each neuron is same, If we apply stride = 1(or 2) then boundary of portion of input image is cross which is something we don't need right ?
2> How do we know which portion of input image (same as kernel size) is mapped which neuron in first conv layer?
If not then:
3> How input image is passed on neurons in first convolution layer, Is is complete input image is passed on to each neuron (Like in fully connected ANN, where all the input features are mapped to each neuron in first hidden layer)?
Or portion of input image ? How do we know which portion of input image is mapped which neuron in first conv layer?
4> Number of kernel specified above example (W1= [4, 4, 3, 8]) is per neuron or total number of kernel in fist conv layer ?
5> how do we know how may neurons used by above example in first convolution layer.
6> Is there any relationship between number of neurons and number of kernel first conv layer.
I found relevant answers to my questions and posting same here.
First of all concept of neuron is exist in conv layer as well but it's indirectly. Basically each neuron in conv layer deals with portion of input image which is same as the size of the kernel used in that conv layer.
Each neuron will focus on only particular portion of input image (Where in fully-connected ANN each neuron focus on whole image) and each neuron use n number of filters/kernels to get more insight of particular portion of image.
These n filters/kernels shared by all the neurons in given conv layer. Because of these weight(kernel/filter) sharing nature conv layer will have less number of parameter to learn. Where as in fully connected ANN network each neuron as it's own weight matrix and hence number of parameter to learn is more.
Now the number of neurons in given conv layer 'L' is depends on input_size (output of previous layer L-1), Kernel_size used in layer L , Padding used in layer L and Stride used in layer L.
Now let answer each of the questions specified above.
1> How do we know which portion of input image (same as kernel size) is mapped which neuron in first conv layer?
From above code example for conv layer 1:
Batch size = 1
Input image size = 64*64*3
Kernel size = 4*4*3 ==> Taken from W1
Number of kernel = 8 ==> Taken from W1
Padding = same
stride = 1
Stride = 1 means that you are sliding the kernel one pixel at a time. Let's consider x axis and number pixels 1, 2, 3 4 ... and 64.
The first neuron will see pixels 1 2,3 and 4, then the kernel is shifted by one pixel and the next neuron will see pixels 2 3, 4 and 5 and last neuron will see pixels 61, 62, 63 and 64 This happens if you use valid padding.
In case of same padding, first neuron will see pixels 0, 1, 2, and 3, the second neuron will see pixels 1, 2, 3 and 4, the last neuron will see pixels 62,63, 64 and (one zero padded).
In case the same padding case, you end up with the output of the same size as the image (64 x 64 x 8). In the case of valid padding, the output is (61 x 61 x 8).
Where 8 in output represent the number of filters.
2> How input image is passed on neurons in first convolution layer, Is is complete input image is passed on to each neuron (Like in fully connected ANN, where all the input features are mapped to each neuron in first hidden layer)?
Neurons looks for only portion of input image, Please refer the first question answer you will be able map between input image and neuron.
3> Number of kernel specified above example (W1= [4, 4, 3, 8]) is per neuron or total number of kernel in fist conv layer ?
It's total number of kernels for that layer and all the neuron i that layer will share same kernel for learning different portion of input image. Hence in convnet number of parameter to be learn is less compare to fully-connected ANN.
4> How do we know how may neurons used by above example in first convolution layer ?
It depends on input_size (output of previous layer L-1), Kernel_size used in layer L , Padding used in layer L and Stride used in layer L. Please refer first question answer above for more clarification.
5> Is there any relationship between number of neurons and number of kernel first conv layer
There is no relationship with respect numbers, But each neuron uses n number of filters/kernel (these kernel are shared among all the neurons in particular layer)to learn more about particular portion of input image.
Below sample code will help us clarify the internal implementation of convolution operation.

How does a 1D multi-channel convolutional layer (Keras) train?

I am working with time series EEG data recorded from 10 individual locations on the body to classify future behavior in terms of increasing heart activity. I would like to better understand how my labeled data corresponds to the training inputs.
So far, several RNN configurations as well as countless combinations of vanilla dense networks have not gotten me great results and I'd figure a 1D convnet is worth a try.
The things I'm having trouble understanding are:
1.) Feeding data into the model.
orig shape = (30000 timesteps, 10 channels)
array fed to layer = (300 slices, 100 timesteps, 10 channels)
Are the slices separated by 1 time step, giving me 300 slices of timesteps at either end of the original array, or are they separated end to end? If the second is true, how could I create an array of (30000 - 100) slices separated by one ts and is also compatible with the 1D CNN layer?
2) Matching labels with the training and testing data
My understanding is that when you feed in a sequence of train_x_shape = (30000, 10), there are 30000 labels with train_y_shape = (30000, 2) (2 classes) associated with the train_x data.
So, when (300 slices of) 100 timesteps of train_x data with shape = (300, 100, 10) are fed into the model, does the label value correspond to the entire 100 ts (one label per 100 ts, with this label being equal to the last time step's label), or are each 100 rows/vectors in the slice labeled- one for each ts?
Train input:
train_x = train_x.reshape(train_x.shape[0], 1, train_x.shape[1])
n_timesteps = 100
n_channels = 10
layer : model.add(Convolution1D(filters = n_channels * 2, padding = 'same', kernel_size = 3, input_shape = (n_timesteps, n_channels)))
final layer : model.add(Dense(2, activation = 'softmax'))
I use categorical_crossentropy for loss.
Answer 1
This will really depend on "how did you get those slices"?
The answer is totally dependent on what "you're doing". So, what do you want?
If you have simply reshaped (array.reshape(...)) the original array from shape (30000,10) to shape (300,100,10), the model will see:
300 individual (and not connected) sequences
100 timesteps in each sequence
Sequence 1 goes from step 0 to 299;
Sequence 2 goes from step 300 to 599 and so on.
Creating overlapping slices - Sliding window
If you want to create sequences shifted by only one timestep, make a loop for that.
import numpy as np
originalSequence = someArrayWithShape((30000,10))
newSlices = [] #empty list
start = 0
end = start + 300
while end <= 30000:
newSlices.append(originalSequence[start:end])
start+=1
end+=1
newSlices = np.asarray(newSlices)
Beware: if you do this in the input data, you will have to do a similar thing in your output data as well.
Answer2
Again, that's totally up to you. What do you want to achieve?
Convolutional layers will keep the timesteps with these options:
If you use padding='same', the final length will be the same as the input
If you don't, the final length will be reduced depending on the kernel size you choose
Recurrent layers will keep the timesteps or not depending on:
Whether you use return_sequences=True - Output has timesteps
Or you use return_sequences=False - Output has no timesteps
If you want only one output for each sequence (not per timestep):
Recurrent models:
Use LSTM(...., return_sequences=True) until the last LSTM
The last LSTM will be LSTM(..., return_sequences=False)
Convolutional models:
At some point after the convolutions, choose one of these to add:
GlobalMaxPooling1D
GlobalAveragePooling1D
Flatten (but treat the number of channels later with a Dense(2)
Reshape((2,))
I think I'd go with GlobalMaxPooling2D if using convoltions, but recurrent models seem better for this. (Not a rule, though).
You can choose to use intermediate MaxPooling1D layers to gradually reduce the length from 100 to 50, then to 25 and so on. This will probably reach a better output.
Remember to keep X and Y paired:
import numpy as np
train_x = someArrayWithShape((30000,10))
train_y = someArrayWithShape((30000,2))
newXSlices = [] #empty list
newYSlices = [] #empty list
start = 0
end = start + 300
while end <= 30000:
newXSlices.append(train_x[start:end])
newYSlices.append(train_y[end-1:end])
start+=1
