Access learned weights within iteration - keras or tensorflow - tensorflow

After approx 1000 iterations and frequency of approx 20 iterations I see the acc and val_acc increase from 0 for a single iteration , then returning to 0 for next iteration :
5s - loss: 2.0677 - acc: 0.1345 - val_loss: 3.0170 - val_acc: 0.0000e+00
Epoch 180/3000
5s - loss: 2.0821 - acc: 0.1426 - val_loss: 3.0052 - val_acc: 0.6520
Epoch 181/3000
5s - loss: 2.0755 - acc: 0.1202 - val_loss: 3.0405 - val_acc: 0.0000e+00
As I want to learn weight where val_cc is greater > 50% can I access weight parameters at specific iteration , in this case when acc is 0.1426 and val_acc is 0.6520 ?
Alternative does keras support saving model weights when specified acc & val_acc conditions are me ?
Update :
After decreasing learning rate :
Epoch 7562/300000
1s - loss: 0.7599 - acc: 0.6968 - val_loss: 0.2335 - val_acc: 0.9231
Epoch 7563/300000
1s - loss: 0.7484 - acc: 0.7119 - val_loss: 0.3115 - val_acc: 0.8828
Epoch 7564/300000
1s - loss: 0.7702 - acc: 0.6980 - val_loss: 0.3340 - val_acc: 0.8388

Yes, you can manage to save your model using the callback api of Keras. You have to create your callback class and implement the function on_epoch_end() save your model depending on the conditions you want.
I think the best option is to check the implementation of ModelCheckpoint. You can check it in the doc

CNN1D learns only one class in a binary classification problem (Keras)

I try to find in a graph the nodes which belong to a particular structure (for example a clique). I must therefore have at the output a vector [0,0,1,0,1,1,0 .......] where the 1 represents the nodes belonging to the cliques.
My inputs are graphs where each node of the graph is represented by an embedding vector, the input is in this form:
[[-1.548624, 2.6481668, 0.21574, -0.324527 ........]
[.....] ...[.....]].
the problem is that my model only learns one of the two classes, either (1) or (0) depending on the greater presence in the dataset. after doing a data rebalancing the results are around 0.5 accuracies.
I tried the data rebalancing, change of embedding method but the result remains the same.
Does anyone have any idea what is causing the problem?
here is the code:
def model(input_shape):
model = Sequential()
model.add(Conv1D(30,3,input_shape=input_shape,activation="sigmoid"))
model.add(MaxPool1D(9))
model.add(LSTM(50,return_sequences=True))
model.add(Flatten())
model.add(Dense(889,activation="sigmoid"))
#model.summary()
opt = tf.keras.optimizers.SGD(learning_rate=0.01)
model.compile(loss='mse',optimizer='sgd',metrics=['binary_accuracy'])
return model
train_x,train_y,test_x,test_y,val_x,val_y = load_data()
model=model((889,64))
model.fit(train_x,train_y,validation_data=(val_x,val_y),epochs=500,batch_size=4)
I am not sure of my (activation function, loss, metric) even if the best results given are with this.

thank you in advance for your feedback;).
First of all, 1D convs are a lot different from 2D convs. For 2D convs you want to keep the kernel size low because the number of calculations scales as the square of the kernel size C*K^2 (for 3d convs it gets cubed!), but for 1D it scales linearly. You really want to up that kernel size.
Secondly, you need to normalize your inputs for certain ML approaches, neural networks being one of them.
Finally, I'm a bit worried CNN is the wrong approach for this anyway. On top of that you have a LSTM, which I don't really follow. Maybe start of with just a couple dense layers as a good baseline.
One debugging tip, make a really small dataset and make sure you can overfit i.e. memorize the training set.

Keras model gets worse when fine-tuning

I'm trying to follow the fine-tuning steps described in https://www.tensorflow.org/tutorials/images/transfer_learning#create_the_base_model_from_the_pre-trained_convnets to get a trained model for binary segmentation.
I create an encoder-decoder with the weights of the encoder being the ones of the MobileNetV2 and fixed as encoder.trainable = False. Then, I define my decoder as said in the tutorial and I train the network for 300 epochs using a learning rate of 0.005. I get the following loss value and Jaccard index during the lasts epochs:
Epoch 297/300
55/55 [==============================] - 85s 2s/step - loss: 0.2443 - jaccard_sparse3D: 0.5556 - accuracy: 0.9923 - val_loss: 0.0440 - val_jaccard_sparse3D: 0.3172 - val_accuracy: 0.9768
Epoch 298/300
55/55 [==============================] - 75s 1s/step - loss: 0.2437 - jaccard_sparse3D: 0.5190 - accuracy: 0.9932 - val_loss: 0.0422 - val_jaccard_sparse3D: 0.3281 - val_accuracy: 0.9776
Epoch 299/300
55/55 [==============================] - 78s 1s/step - loss: 0.2465 - jaccard_sparse3D: 0.4557 - accuracy: 0.9936 - val_loss: 0.0431 - val_jaccard_sparse3D: 0.3327 - val_accuracy: 0.9769
Epoch 300/300
55/55 [==============================] - 85s 2s/step - loss: 0.2467 - jaccard_sparse3D: 0.5030 - accuracy: 0.9923 - val_loss: 0.0463 - val_jaccard_sparse3D: 0.3315 - val_accuracy: 0.9740
I store all the weights of this model and then, I compute the fine-tuning with the following steps:
model.load_weights('my_pretrained_weights.h5')
model.trainable = True
model.compile(optimizer=Adam(learning_rate=0.00001, name='adam'),
loss=SparseCategoricalCrossentropy(from_logits=True),
metrics=[jaccard, "accuracy"])
model.fit(training_generator, validation_data=(val_x, val_y), epochs=5,
validation_batch_size=2, callbacks=callbacks)
Suddenly the performance of my model is way much worse than during the training of the decoder:
Epoch 1/5
55/55 [==============================] - 89s 2s/step - loss: 0.2417 - jaccard_sparse3D: 0.0843 - accuracy: 0.9946 - val_loss: 0.0079 - val_jaccard_sparse3D: 0.0312 - val_accuracy: 0.9992

Epoch 3/5

Is there any known reason why this is happening? Is it normal?
Thank you in advance!
OK I found out what I do different that makes it NOT necessary to compile. I do not set encoder.trainable = False. What I do in the code below is equivalent
for layer in encoder.layers:
layer.trainable=False
then train your model. Then you can unfreeze the encoder weights with
for layer in encoder.layers:
layer.trainable=True
You do not need to recompile the model. I tested this and it works as expected. You can
verify by priniting model summary before and after and look at the number of trainable parameters. As for changing the learning rate I find it is best to use the the keras callback ReduceLROnPlateau to automatically adjust the learning rate based on validation loss. I also recommend using the EarlyStopping callback which monitors validation and halts training if the loss fails to reduce after 'patience' number of consecutive epochs. Setting restore_best_weights=True will load the weights for the epoch with the lowest validation loss so you don't have to save then reload the weights. Set epochs to a large number to ensure this callback activates. The code I use is shown below
es=tf.keras.callbacks.EarlyStopping( monitor="val_loss", patience=3,
verbose=1, restore_best_weights=True)
rlronp=tf.keras.callbacks.ReduceLROnPlateau( monitor="val_loss", factor=0.5, patience=1,
verbose=1)
callbacks=[es, rlronp]
In model.fit set callbacks=callbacks

Why the accuracy and validation_accuracy are drastically different on the same dataset (no normalization or dropout)?

I'm new to tensorflow 2.0 and I'm running a very simple model that classifies a 1d time series of fixed size (100 values) into one of two classes:
model = tf.keras.models.Sequential([
tf.keras.layers.Dense(512, activation='relu', input_shape=(100, 1)),
tf.keras.layers.Dense(1, activation='sigmoid')
])
model.compile(optimizer='adam', loss='binary_crossentropy', metrics=['acc'])
I have a dataset of ~660,000 labeled examples that I feed into the model with batch_size=256. When I train the NN for 10 epochs, using the same data as a validation dataset
history = model.fit(training_dataset,
epochs=10,
verbose=1,
validation_data=training_dataset)
I got the following output

How come the accuracy during the training is so different from the validation step, when run on the same dataset? I tried to find some explanation but it seems that such problems usually arise when people use BatchNormalization or Dropout layers, which is not the case here.
Based on the information above, I may assume your data has strong dependencies on examples that are closer to each other in time series.
Therefore, NN data flow will likely be like this:
NN takes the first batch, calculates the loss, and updates the weights and biases
the cycle repeats on and on
but since examples in batches not that far away from each other in time series it is easier for NN to update weights accordingly, making loss reasonably low for every next batch
When it is time for validation NN just calculates the loss without updating the weights,
so you end up with NN that learned how to infer on a small portion of the data but do not generalize well on the whole dataset.
That is why validation error is different from training even on the same dataset.
And a list of reasons is not limited to this, this is just one assumption.

Is validation dataset initialized/created every epoch during the training process?

Setup:
U-Net network is trained to process small patches (e.g. 64x64 pixels).
The network is fed with a training dataset and validation dataset using Tensorflow Dataset API.
Small patches are generated by sampling (randomly) much larger
images.
The sampling of image patches takes place during the training process
(both training and validation image patches are cropped on the fly).
Tensorflow 2.1 (eager execution mode)
Both training and validation datasets are the same:
dataset = tf.data.Dataset.from_tensor_slices((large_images, large_targets))
dataset = dataset.shuffle(buffer_size=num_large_samples)
dataset = dataset.map(get_patches_from_large_images, num_parallel_calls=num_parallel_calls)
dataset = dataset.unbatch()
dataset = dataset.shuffle(buffer_size=num_small_patches)
dataset = dataset.batch(patches_batch_size)
dataset = dataset.prefetch(1)
dataset = dataset.repeat()
Function get_patches_from_large_images samples a predefined number of small patches from a single large image using tf.image.random_crop. There are two nested loops for and while. The outer loop for is responsible for generating the predefined number of small patches and while is used to check if randomly generated patch using tf.image.random_crop meets some predefined criteria (e.g. patches containing only the background should be discarded). The inner loop while gives up if it is not able to generate a proper patch in some predefined number of iterations so we will not get stuck in this loop. This approach is based on the solution presented here.
for i in range(number_of_patches_from_one_large_image):
num_tries = 0
patches = []
while num_tries < max_num_tries_befor_giving_up:
patch = tf.image.random_crop(large_input_and_target_image,[patch_size, patch_size, 2])
if patch_meets_some_criterions:
break
num_tries = num_tries + 1
patches.append(patch)
Experiment:
training and validation datasets to feed the model are the same (5 large pairs of input-target images), both datasets produce exactly the same number of small patches from single large image
batch_size for training and validation is the same and equals to 50 image patches,
steps_per_epoch and validation_steps are equal (20 batches)
When training is run for validation_freq=5
unet_model.fit(dataset_train, epochs=10, steps_per_epoch=20, validation_data = dataset_val, validation_steps=20, validation_freq=5)
Train for 20 steps, validate for 20 steps

we can see that the first epoch and epochs with validation (every 5th epoch) took much more time than epochs without validation. The same experiment but this time validation is run each epoch give us the following result:
history = unet_model.fit(dataset_train, epochs=10, steps_per_epoch=20, validation_data = dataset_val, validation_steps=20)

Question:
In the first example, we can see that the initialization/creation of the training data set (dataset_train) took about 40s. However, subsequent epochs (without validation) were shorter and took about 4s. Nevertheless, the duration was extended again to about 40 seconds for the epoch with the validation step. Validation dataset (dataset_val) is exactly the same as the training dataset (datasat_train) so the procedure of its creation/initialization took about 40s. However, I am surprised that each validation step is time expensive. I expected the first validation to take 40s, but the next validations should take about 4s. I thought that the validation dataset will behave like the training dataset so the first fetch will take long but subsequent should be much shorter. Am I right or maybe I'm missing something?
Update:
I have checked that creating the iterator from the dataset takes about 40s
dataset_val_it = iter(dataset_val) #40s
If we look inside the fit function, we will see that data_handler object is created once for the whole training, and it returns the data iterator that is used in the main loop of the training process. The iterator is created by calling the function enumerate_epochs. When the fit function wants to perform the validation process, it calls the evaluate function. Whenever evaluate function is called it creates new data_handler object. And then it calls enumerate_epochs function what in turn creates the iterator from the dataset. Unfortunately, in the case of complicated datasets, this process is time-consuming.
If you want just want a quickfix to speed up your input pipeline, you can try caching the elements of the validation dataset.

I've never dug very deep in the tf.data code, but you seem to make a point here. I think it can be interesting to open an issue on Github for this.

Understanding output during training - what does the durations mean & what what does TF do between two epochs?

I am quite new to Tensorflow and Keras and mighty google couldn't help me with the following question so far:
Below you can see TF/Keras-output from training a pre-trained CNN in spyder (using anaconda):
What is those (bold) timings about? As far as I could measure, it is the total time needed for this epoch. Am I correct?
The italicized numbers mean seconds for the complete batch (steps*batch-size) and time/batch.
What is TF/Keras doing in the significant time-span between two training-batches
Lets look at Epoch 2:
The whole epoch took 42 seconds, the training itself only 7 seconds. What's going on in the remaining 42-7 = 35 seconds?
From my understanding, the training time includes:
+everything about learning (fwd prop, calculating gradients, backwards prop)
Is the remaining time purely loading and re-scaling images?

If it matters: I am using an image generator (see code below) and augmentation. The small (usually <500kb) pics are loaded from an SSD (Samsung 960 1TB).
train_datagen = ImageDataGenerator(rescale=1./255.)
train_generator = train_datagen.flow_from_directory(train_dir,
batch_size=20,
class_mode='binary',
target_size=(IMAGE_WIDTH, IMAGE_HEIGHT))
Thanks a lot guys.
