First of all, I already know how to manually add float or image summaries. I can construct a tf.Summary protobuf manually. But what about text summaries? I look at the definition for summary protobuf here, but I don't find a "string" value option there.
TensorBoard's text plugin offers a pb method that lets you create text summaries outside of a TensorFlow environment.
https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorboard/blob/master/tensorboard/plugins/text/summary.py#L74
Example usage:
import tensorboard as tb
text_summary_proto = tb.summary.pb('fooTag', 'text data')
John Hoffman's answer is great, though the tb.summary.pb API seems not available as of TF 1.x. You can instead use the following APIs:
tb.summary.text_pb("key", "content of the text data")
Just FYI, tb.summary has many similar methods for other types of summary as well:
'audio', audio_pb',
'custom_scalar', 'custom_scalar_pb',
'histogram', 'histogram_pb',
'image', 'image_pb',
'pr_curve', 'pr_curve_pb',
'pr_curve_raw_data_op',
'pr_curve_raw_data_pb',
'pr_curve_streaming_op',
'scalar', 'scalar_pb',
'text', 'text_pb'

What I need help with / What I was wondering
Hi, I am trying to load external tfrecord files with TFDS. I have read the official doc here, and find I need to define the feature structure using tfds.features. However, since the tfrecords files are alreay generated, I do not have control the generation pipeline. I do, however, know the tf.train.Example structre used in TFRecordWriter during generation, shown as follows.
from tensorflow.python.training.training import BytesList, Example, Feature, Features, Int64List
dict(Example=Features({
'image': Feature(bytes_list=BytesList(value=[img_str])), # img_str is jpg encoded image raw bytes
'caption': Feature(bytes_list=BytesList(value=[caption])), # caption is a string
'height': Feature(bytes_list=Int64List(value=[caption])),
'width': Feature(bytes_list=Int64List(value=[caption])),
})
The doc only describes how to translate tfds.features into the human readable structure of the tf.train.Example. But nowhere does it mention how to translate a tf.train.Example into tfds.features, which is needed to automatically add the proper metadata fileswith tfds.folder_dataset.write_metadata.
I wonder how to translate the above tf.train.Example into tfds.features? Thanks a lot!
BTW, while I understand that it is possible to directly read the data as it is in TFRecord with tf.data.TFRecordDataset and then use map(decode_fn) for decoding as suggested here, it seems to me this approach lacks necessary metadata like num_shards or shard_lengths. In this case, I am not sure if it is still ok to use common operations like cache/repeat/shuffle/map/batch on that tf.data.TFRecordDataset. So I think it is better to stick to the tfds approach.
What I've tried so far
I have searched the official doc for quite some time but cannot find the answer. There is a Scalar class in tfds.features, which I assume could be used to decode Int64List. But How can I decode the BytesList?
Environment information
tensorflow-datasets version: 4.8.2
tensorflow version: 2.11.0
After some searching, I find the simplest solution is
features = tfds.features.FeaturesDict({
'image': tfds.features.Image(), # << Ideally best if add the `shape=(h, w, c)` info
'caption': tfds.features.Text(),
'height': tf.int32,
'width': tf.int32,
})
Then I can load the data either with tfds.folder_dataset.write_metadata or directly with:
ds = tf.data.TFRecordDataset()
ds = ds.map(features.deserialize_example)
batch, shuffle ,... will work as expected in both cases.
The TFDS metadata would be helpful if fine-grained split control is needed.
how to convert a single COCO JSON annotation file into a YOLO darknet format?? like below
each individual image has separate filename.txt file
My classmates and I have created a python package called PyLabel to help others with this task and other labelling tasks.
Our package does this conversion! You can see an example in this notebook https://github.com/pylabel-project/samples/blob/main/coco2yolov5.ipynb.
You're answer should be in there! But you should be able to do this conversion by doing something like:
!pip install pylabel
from pylabel import importer
dataset = importer.ImportCoco(path=path_to_annotations, path_to_images=path_to_images)
dataset.export.ExportToYoloV5(dataset)
You can find the source code that is used behind the scenes here https://github.com/pylabel-project/
I built a tool
https://github.com/tw-yshuang/coco2yolo
Download this repo and use the following command:
python3 coco2yolo.py [OPTIONS]
coc2yolo
Usage: coco2yolo.py [OPTIONS] [CAT_INFOS]...
Options:
-ann-path, --annotations-path TEXT
JSON file. Path for label. [required]
-img-dir, --image-download-dir TEXT
The directory of the image data place.
-task-dir, --task-categories-dir TEXT
Build a directory that follows the task-required categories.
-cat-t, --category-type TEXT Category input type. (interactive | file) [default: interactive]
-set, --set-computing-type TEXT
Set Computing for the data. (union | intersection) [default: union]
--help Show this message and exit.
There is an open-source tool called makesense.ai for annotating your images. You can download YOLO txt format once you annotate your images. But you won't be able to download the annotated images.
There is three ways.
use roboflow https://roboflow.com/formats (You can find another solution also)
You can find some usage guide for roboflow. e.g.
https://medium.com/red-buffer/roboflow-d4e8c4b52515
search 'convert coco format to yolo format' -> you will find some open-source codes to convert annotations to yolo format.
write your own code to convert coco format to yolo format
I'm working through an exercise in https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/hands-on-machine-learning/9781492032632/ and am finding unexpected behavior on my computer when I fetch a dataset. The following code returns
numpy.ndarray
on the author's Google Collab page, but returns
pandas.core.frame.DataFrame
on my local Jupyter notebook. As far as I know, my environment is using the exact same versions of libraries as the author. I can easily convert the data to a numPy array, but since I'm using this book as a guide for novices, I'd like to know what could be causing this discrepancy.
from sklearn.datasets import fetch_openml
mnist = fetch_openml('mnist_784', version=1)
mnist.keys()
type(mnist['data'])
The author's Google Collab is at the following link, scrolling down to the "MNIST" heading. Thanks!
https://colab.research.google.com/github/ageron/handson-ml2/blob/master/03_classification.ipynb#scrollTo=LjZxzwOs2Q2P.
Just to close off this question, the comment by Ben Reiniger, namely to add as_frame=False, is correct. For example:
mnist = fetch_openml('mnist_784', version=1, as_frame=False)
The OP has already made this change to the Colab code in the link.
Hi I've trying to get a TFX Pipeline going just as an exercise really. I'm using ImportExampleGen to load TFRecords from disk. Each Example in the TFRecord contains a jpg in the form of a byte string, height, width, depth, steering and throttle labels.
I'm trying to use StatisticsGen but I'm receiving this warning;
WARNING:root:Feature "image_raw" has bytes value "None" which cannot be decoded as a UTF-8 string. and crashing my Colab Notebook. As far as I can tell all the byte-string images in the TFRecord are not corrupt.
I cannot find concrete examples on StatisticsGen and handling image data. According to the docs Tensorflow Data Validation can deal with image data.
In addition to computing a default set of data statistics, TFDV can also compute statistics for semantic domains (e.g., images, text). To enable computation of semantic domain statistics, pass a tfdv.StatsOptions object with enable_semantic_domain_stats set to True to tfdv.generate_statistics_from_tfrecord.
But I'm not sure how this fits in with StatisticsGen.
Here is the code that instantiates an ImportExampleGen then the StatisticsGen
from tfx.utils.dsl_utils import tfrecord_input
from tfx.components.example_gen.import_example_gen.component import ImportExampleGen
from tfx.proto import example_gen_pb2
examples = tfrecord_input(_tf_record_dir)
# https://www.tensorflow.org/tfx/guide/examplegen#custom_inputoutput_split
# has a good explanation of splitting the data the 'output_config' param
# Input train split is _tf_record_dir/*'
# Output 2 splits: train:eval=8:2.
train_ratio = 8
eval_ratio = 10-train_ratio
output = example_gen_pb2.Output(
split_config=example_gen_pb2.SplitConfig(splits=[
example_gen_pb2.SplitConfig.Split(name='train',
hash_buckets=train_ratio),
example_gen_pb2.SplitConfig.Split(name='eval',
hash_buckets=eval_ratio)
]))
example_gen = ImportExampleGen(input=examples,
output_config=output)
context.run(example_gen)
statistics_gen = StatisticsGen(
examples=example_gen.outputs['examples'])
context.run(statistics_gen)
Thanks in advance.
From git issue response
Thanks Evan Rosen
Hi Folks,
The warnings you are seeing indicate that StatisticsGen is trying to treat your raw image features like a categorical string feature. The image bytes are being decoded just fine. The issue is that when the stats (including top K examples) are being written, the output proto is expecting a UTF-8 valid string, but instead gets the raw image bytes. Nothing is wrong with your setups from what I can tell, but this is just an unintended side-effect of a well-intentioned warning in the event that you have a categorical string feature which can't be serialized. We'll look into finding a better default that handles image data more elegantly.
In the meantime, to tell StatisticsGen that this feature is really an opaque blob, you can pass in a user-modified schema as described in the StatsGen docs. To generate this schema, you can run StatisticsGen and SchemaGen once (on a sample of data) and then modify the inferred schema to annotate that image features. Here is a modified version of the colab from #tall-josh:
Open In Colab
The additional steps are a bit verbose, but having a curated schema is often a good practice for other reasons. Here is the cell that I added to the notebook:
from google.protobuf import text_format
from tensorflow.python.lib.io import file_io
from tensorflow_metadata.proto.v0 import schema_pb2
# Load autogenerated schema (using stats from small batch)
schema = tfx.utils.io_utils.SchemaReader().read(
tfx.utils.io_utils.get_only_uri_in_dir(
tfx.types.artifact_utils.get_single_uri(schema_gen.outputs['schema'].get())))
# Modify schema to indicate which string features are images.
# Ideally you would persist a golden version of this schema somewhere rather
# than regenerating it on every run.
for feature in schema.feature:
if feature.name == 'image/raw':
feature.image_domain.SetInParent()
# Write modified schema to local file
user_schema_dir ='/tmp/user-schema/'
tfx.utils.io_utils.write_pbtxt_file(
os.path.join(user_schema_dir, 'schema.pbtxt'), schema)
# Create ImportNode to make modified schema available to other components
user_schema_importer = tfx.components.ImporterNode(
instance_name='import_user_schema',
source_uri=user_schema_dir,
artifact_type=tfx.types.standard_artifacts.Schema)
# Run the user schema ImportNode
context.run(user_schema_importer)
Hopefully you find this workaround is useful. In the meantime, we'll take a look at a better default experience for image-valued features.
Groked this and found the solution to be dramatically simpler than i thought...
from tfx.orchestration.experimental.interactive.interactive_context import InteractiveContext
import logging
...
logger = logging.getLogger()
logger.setLevel(logging.CRITICAL)
...
context = InteractiveContext(pipeline_name='my_pipe')
...
c = StatisticsGen(...)
...
context.run(c)
After following this tutorial on summaries and TensorBoard, I've been able to successfully save and look at data with TensorBoard. Is it possible to open this data with something other than TensorBoard?
By the way, my application is to do off-policy learning. I'm currently saving each state-action-reward tuple using SummaryWriter. I know I could manually store/train on this data, but I thought it'd be nice to use TensorFlow's built in logging features to store/load this data.
As of March 2017, the EventAccumulator tool has been moved from Tensorflow core to the Tensorboard Backend. You can still use it to extract data from Tensorboard log files as follows:
from tensorboard.backend.event_processing.event_accumulator import EventAccumulator
event_acc = EventAccumulator('/path/to/summary/folder')
event_acc.Reload()
# Show all tags in the log file
print(event_acc.Tags())
# E. g. get wall clock, number of steps and value for a scalar 'Accuracy'
w_times, step_nums, vals = zip(*event_acc.Scalars('Accuracy'))
Easy, the data can actually be exported to a .csv file within TensorBoard under the Events tab, which can e.g. be loaded in a Pandas dataframe in Python. Make sure you check the Data download links box.
For a more automated approach, check out the TensorBoard readme:
If you'd like to export data to visualize elsewhere (e.g. iPython
Notebook), that's possible too. You can directly depend on the
underlying classes that TensorBoard uses for loading data:
python/summary/event_accumulator.py (for loading data from a single
run) or python/summary/event_multiplexer.py (for loading data from
multiple runs, and keeping it organized). These classes load groups of
event files, discard data that was "orphaned" by TensorFlow crashes,
and organize the data by tag.
As another option, there is a script
(tensorboard/scripts/serialize_tensorboard.py) which will load a
logdir just like TensorBoard does, but write all of the data out to
disk as json instead of starting a server. This script is setup to
make "fake TensorBoard backends" for testing, so it is a bit rough
around the edges.
I think the data are encoded protobufs RecordReader format. To get serialized strings out of files you can use py_record_reader or build a graph with TFRecordReader op, and to deserialize those strings to protobuf use Event schema. If you get a working example, please update this q, since we seem to be missing documentation on this.
I did something along these lines for a previous project. As mentioned by others, the main ingredient is tensorflows event accumulator
from tensorflow.python.summary import event_accumulator as ea
acc = ea.EventAccumulator("folder/containing/summaries/")
acc.Reload()
# Print tags of contained entities, use these names to retrieve entities as below
print(acc.Tags())
# E. g. get all values and steps of a scalar called 'l2_loss'
xy_l2_loss = [(s.step, s.value) for s in acc.Scalars('l2_loss')]
# Retrieve images, e. g. first labeled as 'generator'
img = acc.Images('generator/image/0')
with open('img_{}.png'.format(img.step), 'wb') as f:
f.write(img.encoded_image_string)
You can also use the tf.train.summaryiterator: To extract events in a ./logs-Folder where only classic scalars lr, acc, loss, val_acc and val_loss are present you can use this GIST: tensorboard_to_csv.py
Chris Cundy's answer works well when you have less than 10000 data points in your tfevent file. However, when you have a large file with over 10000 data points, Tensorboard will automatically sampling them and only gives you at most 10000 points. It is a quite annoying underlying behavior as it is not well-documented. See https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorboard/blob/master/tensorboard/backend/event_processing/event_accumulator.py#L186.
To get around it and get all data points, a bit hacky way is to:
from tensorboard.backend.event_processing.event_accumulator import EventAccumulator
class FalseDict(object):
def __getitem__(self,key):
return 0
def __contains__(self, key):
return True
event_acc = EventAccumulator('path/to/your/tfevents',size_guidance=FalseDict())
It looks like for tb version >=2.3 you can streamline the process of converting your tb events to a pandas dataframe using tensorboard.data.experimental.ExperimentFromDev().
It requires you to upload your logs to TensorBoard.dev, though, which is public. There are plans to expand the capability to locally stored logs in the future.
https://www.tensorflow.org/tensorboard/dataframe_api
You can also use the EventFileLoader to iterate through a tensorboard file
from tensorboard.backend.event_processing.event_file_loader import EventFileLoader
for event in EventFileLoader('path/to/events.out.tfevents.xxx').Load():
print(event)
Surprisingly, the python package tb_parse has not been mentioned yet.
From documentation:
Installation:
pip install tensorflow # or tensorflow-cpu pip install -U tbparse # requires Python >= 3.7
Note: If you don't want to install TensorFlow, see Installing without TensorFlow.
We suggest using an additional virtual environment for parsing and plotting the tensorboard events. So no worries if your training code uses Python 3.6 or older versions.
Reading one or more event files with tbparse only requires 5 lines of code:
from tbparse import SummaryReader
log_dir = "<PATH_TO_EVENT_FILE_OR_DIRECTORY>"
reader = SummaryReader(log_dir)
df = reader.scalars
print(df)
