model.fit(x,y,steps_per_epoch=1,epochs=n_iters,batch_size=batch_size,shuffle=False)
If I use the model.fit to train a model and set steps_per_epoch=1 and epochs=n_iters, does that mean that only the first batch in the training data will be repeatedly used?
Or is it the same as setting steps_per_epoch=num_of_batches and epochs=n_iters//num_of_batches
I train a ml model in TensorFlow and at that time the test accuracy was high so I saved the model and now after some days I load that pretrained model and this time I'm not getting the same test accuracy on same test dataset the accuracy is decreased a lot.
I am new in the deep neuron network world. I tried to train my one model using the TensorFlow Keras toolkit.
I managed to train a model using the fit function. The accuracy, for 50 epochs, was good - around 96% and the model predicts well with new data. The problem is when I try to evaluate the loaded model the results are like the model wasn't trained at all (accuracy around 50%).
I prepare the small test. I evaluate the model after a fit. Then I save the model, load it, and evaluate it once again. The results are so different. I thought that maybe weights aren't loaded properly, but the documentation suggests that save and load functions operate on the whole model. Here is my code:
CNNmodelHistory = model.fit(train_data, batch_size=batch_size, validation_data=test_data, steps_per_epoch=train_data.samples // batch_size,
epochs=echos)
scores = model.evaluate(test_data, verbose=0)
print(f'Test loss: {scores[0]} / Test accuracy: {scores[1]}')
# save the model to disk
model.save('gender_detection.modelTest')
modelLoaded = keras.models.load_model('gender_detection.modelTest')
scores = modelLoaded.evaluate(test_data, verbose=0)
print(f'Test loss: {scores[0]} / Test accuracy: {scores[1]}')
And here are the results:
Do you have any tips on what I am doing wrong?
I'm following this tutorial - https://www.tensorflow.org/tutorials/estimators/cnn - to build a CNN using TensorFlow Estimators with the MNIST data.
I would like to visualize training accuracy and loss at each step, but I'm not sure how to do that with tf.train.LoggingTensorHook.
I am using Keras with TensorFlow backend to train CNN models.
What is the between model.fit() and model.evaluate()? Which one should I ideally use? (I am using model.fit() as of now).
I know the utility of model.fit() and model.predict(). But I am unable to understand the utility of model.evaluate(). Keras documentation just says:
It is used to evaluate the model.
I feel this is a very vague definition.
fit() is for training the model with the given inputs (and corresponding training labels).
evaluate() is for evaluating the already trained model using the validation (or test) data and the corresponding labels. Returns the loss value and metrics values for the model.
predict() is for the actual prediction. It generates output predictions for the input samples.
Let us consider a simple regression example:
# input and output
x = np.random.uniform(0.0, 1.0, (200))
y = 0.3 + 0.6*x + np.random.normal(0.0, 0.05, len(y))
Now lets apply a regression model in keras:
# A simple regression model
model = Sequential()
model.add(Dense(1, input_shape=(1,)))
model.compile(loss='mse', optimizer='rmsprop')
# The fit() method - trains the model
model.fit(x, y, nb_epoch=1000, batch_size=100)
Epoch 1000/1000
200/200 [==============================] - 0s - loss: 0.0023
# The evaluate() method - gets the loss statistics
model.evaluate(x, y, batch_size=200)
# returns: loss: 0.0022612824104726315
# The predict() method - predict the outputs for the given inputs
model.predict(np.expand_dims(x[:3],1))
# returns: [ 0.65680361],[ 0.70067143],[ 0.70482892]
In Deep learning you first want to train your model. You take your data and split it into two sets: the training set, and the test set. It seems pretty common that 80% of your data goes into your training set and 20% goes into your test set.
Your training set gets passed into your call to fit() and your test set gets passed into your call to evaluate(). During the fit operation a number of rows of your training data are fed into your neural net (based on your batch size). After every batch is sent the fit algorithm does back propagation to adjust the weights in your neural net.
After this is done your neural net is trained. The problem is sometimes your neural net gets overfit which is a condition where it performs well for the training set but poorly for other data. To guard against this situation you run the evaluate() function to send new data (your test set) through your neural net to see how it performs with data it has never seen. There is no training occurring, this is purely a test. If all goes well then the score from training is similar to the score from testing.
fit(): Trains the model for a given number of epochs (this is for training time, with the training dataset).
predict(): Generates output predictions for the input samples (this is for somewhere between training and testing time).
evaluate(): Returns the loss value & metrics values for the model in test mode (this is for testing time, with the testing dataset).
While all the above answers explain what these functions : fit(), evaluate() or predict() do however more important point to keep in mind in my opinion is what data you should use for fit() and evaluate().
The most clear guideline that I came across in Machine Learning Mastery and particular quote in there:
Training set: A set of examples used for learning, that is to fit the parameters of the classifier.
Validation set: A set of examples used to tune the parameters of a classifier, for example to choose the number of hidden units in a neural network.
Test set: A set of examples used only to assess the performance of a fully-specified classifier.
: By Brian Ripley, page 354, Pattern Recognition and Neural Networks, 1996
You should not use the same data that you used to train(tune) the model (validation data) for evaluating the performance (generalization) of your fully trained model (evaluate).
The test data used for evaluate() should be unseen/not used for training(fit()) in order to be any reliable indicator of model evaluation (for generlization).
For Predict() you can use just one or few example(s) that you choose (from anywhere) to get quick check or answer from your model. I don't believe it can be used as sole parameter for generalization.
One thing which was not mentioned here, I believe needs to be specified. model.evaluate() returns a list which contains a loss figure and an accuracy figure. What has not been said in the answers above, is that the "loss" figure is the sum of ALL the losses calculated for each item in the x_test array. x_test would contain your test data and y_test would contain your labels. It should be clear that the loss figure is the sum of ALL the losses, not just one loss from one item in the x_test array.
I would say the mean of losses incurred from all iterations, not the sum. But sure, that's the most important information here, otherwise the modeler would be slightly confused.
