I frequently use tf.add_to_collection to have Tensorflow automatically serialize intermediary results into a checkpoint. I find this the most convenient way to later fetch pointers to interesting tensors when a model was restored from a checkpoint. However, I realized that RNN state tuples cannot easily be added to a graph collection. Consider the following dummy example in TF 1.3:
import tensorflow as tf
import numpy as np
in_ = tf.placeholder(tf.float32, shape=[None, 5, 1])
batch_size = tf.shape(in_)[0]
cell1 = tf.nn.rnn_cell.BasicLSTMCell(num_units=128)
cell2 = tf.nn.rnn_cell.BasicLSTMCell(num_units=256)
cell = tf.nn.rnn_cell.MultiRNNCell([cell1, cell2])
outputs, last_state = tf.nn.dynamic_rnn(cell=cell,
inputs=in_,
initial_state=cell.zero_state(batch_size, dtype=tf.float32))
tf.add_to_collection('states', last_state)
loss = tf.reduce_mean(in_ - outputs)
loss_s = tf.summary.scalar('loss', loss)
writer = tf.summary.FileWriter('.', tf.get_default_graph())
with tf.Session() as sess:
sess.run(tf.global_variables_initializer())
l, s = sess.run([loss, loss_s], feed_dict={in_: np.ones([1, 5, 1])})
writer.add_summary(s)
This will produce the following warning:
WARNING:tensorflow:Error encountered when serializing states.
Type is unsupported, or the types of the items don't match field type in CollectionDef.
'tuple' object has no attribute 'name'
It seems that the serialization cannot handle tuples, and of course the last_state variable is a tuple. May be one could loop through the tuple and add each element individually to the collection, but that seems too complicated. What's a better way of handling this? In the end, I would like to access last_state again when the model is restored, ideally without needing access to the original code that created the model.
Actually, looping through every element of the state is not too complicated, and straight-forward to implement:
def add_to_collection_rnn_state(name, rnn_state):
for layer in rnn_state:
tf.add_to_collection(name, layer.c)
tf.add_to_collection(name, layer.h)
And then to load it:
def get_collection_rnn_state(name):
layers = []
coll = tf.get_collection(name)
for i in range(0, len(coll), 2):
state = tf.nn.rnn_cell.LSTMStateTuple(coll[i], coll[i+1])
layers.append(state)
return tuple(layers)
Note that this assumes that one collection only stores on state, i.e. use a different collection for every state you want to store, e.g. like this:
add_to_collection_rnn_state('states', last_state)
add_to_collection_rnn_state('init_state', init_state)
Edit
As pointed out correctly in the comments, the proposed solution only works for LSTMCells (that are represented as tuples as well). A more general solution that can handle GRU cells or potentially custom cells and mixes thereof, could look like this:
import tensorflow as tf
import numpy as np
def add_to_collection_rnn_state(name, rnn_state):
# store the name of each cell type in a different collection
coll_of_names = name + '__names__'
for layer in rnn_state:
n = layer.__class__.__name__
tf.add_to_collection(coll_of_names, n)
try:
for l in layer:
tf.add_to_collection(name, l)
except TypeError:
# layer is not iterable so just add it directly
tf.add_to_collection(name, layer)
def get_collection_rnn_state(name):
layers = []
coll = tf.get_collection(name)
coll_of_names = tf.get_collection(name + '__names__')
idx = 0
for n in coll_of_names:
if 'LSTMStateTuple' in n:
state = tf.nn.rnn_cell.LSTMStateTuple(coll[idx], coll[idx+1])
idx += 2
else: # add more cell types here
state = coll[idx]
idx += 1
layers.append(state)
return tuple(layers)
in_ = tf.placeholder(tf.float32, shape=[None, 5, 1])
batch_size = tf.shape(in_)[0]
cell1 = tf.nn.rnn_cell.BasicLSTMCell(num_units=128)
cell2 = tf.nn.rnn_cell.GRUCell(num_units=256)
cell3 = tf.nn.rnn_cell.BasicRNNCell(num_units=256)
cell = tf.nn.rnn_cell.MultiRNNCell([cell1, cell2, cell3])
outputs, last_state = tf.nn.dynamic_rnn(cell=cell,
inputs=in_,
initial_state=cell.zero_state(batch_size, dtype=tf.float32))
add_to_collection_rnn_state('last_state', last_state)
last_state_r = get_collection_rnn_state('last_state')
Comparing last_state and last_state_r reveals that both are identical (which they should be). Note that I am using a different collection to store the names because tensorflow can only serialize a collection when all elements in the collection are of the same type. E.g. mixing strings with Tensors in the same collection does not work.

Recently, I am training a LSTM with attention mechanism for regressionin tensorflow 2.9 and I met an problem during training with model.fit():
At the beginning, the training time is okay, like 7s/step. However, it was increasing during the process and after several steps, like 1000, the value might be 50s/step. Here below is a part of the code for my model:
class AttentionModel(tf.keras.Model):
def __init__(self, encoder_output_dim, dec_units, dense_dim, batch):
super().__init__()
self.dense_dim = dense_dim
self.batch = batch
encoder = Encoder(encoder_output_dim)
decoder = Decoder(dec_units,dense_dim)
self.encoder = encoder
self.decoder = decoder
def call(self, inputs):
# Creat a tensor to record the result
tempt = list()
encoder_output, encoder_state = self.encoder(inputs)
new_features = np.zeros((self.batch, 1, 1))
dec_initial_state = encoder_state
for i in range(6):
dec_inputs = DecoderInput(new_features=new_features, enc_output=encoder_output)
dec_result, dec_state = self.decoder(dec_inputs, dec_initial_state)
tempt.append(dec_result.logits)
new_features = dec_result.logits
dec_initial_state = dec_state
result=tf.concat(tempt,1)
return result
In the official documents for tf.function, I notice: "Don't rely on Python side effects like object mutation or list appends".
Since I use a dynamic python list with append() to record the intermediate variables, I guess each time during training, a new tf.graph was added. Is the reason my training is getting slower and slower?
Additionally, what should I use instead of python list to avoid this? I have tried with a numpy.zeros matrix but it will lead to another problem:
tempt = np.zeros(shape=(1,6))
...
for i in range(6):
dec_inputs = DecoderInput(new_features=new_features, enc_output=encoder_output)
dec_result, dec_state = self.decoder(dec_inputs, dec_initial_state)
tempt[i]=(dec_result.logits)
...
Cannot convert a symbolic tf.Tensor (decoder/dense_3/BiasAdd:0) to a numpy array. This error may indicate that you're trying to pass a Tensor to a NumPy call, which is not supported.
I'm trying to write a custom layer that will handle variable-length vectors, and reduce them to the same length vector.
The length is known in advance because the reason for the variable lengths is that I have several different data types that I encode using a different number of features.
In a sense, it is similar to Embedding only for numerical values.
I've tried using padding, but the results were bad, so I'm trying this approach instead.
So, for example let's say I have 3 data types, which I encode with 3, 4, 6 length vectors.
arr = [
# example one (data type 1 [len()==3], datat type 3[len()==6]) - force values as floats
[[1.0,2.0,3],[1,2,3,4,5,6]],
# example two (data type 2 [len()==4], datat type 3len()==6]) - force values as floats
[[1.0,2,3,4],[1,2,3,4,5,6]],
]
I tried implementing a custom layer like:
class DimensionReducer(tf.keras.layers.Layer):
def __init__(self, output_dim, expected_lengths):
super(DimensionReducer, self).__init__()
self._supports_ragged_inputs = True
self.output_dim = output_dim
for l in expected_lengths:
setattr(self,f'w_{l}', self.add_weight(shape=(l, self.output_dim),initializer='random_normal',trainable=True))
setattr(self, f'b_{l}',self.add_weight(shape=(self.output_dim,), initializer='random_normal',trainable=True))
def call(self, inputs):
print(inputs.shape)
# batch
if len(inputs.shape) == 3:
print("batch")
result = []
for i,x in enumerate(inputs):
_result = []
for v in x:
l = len(v)
print(l)
print(v)
w = getattr(self, f'w_{l}')
b = getattr(self, f'b_{l}')
out = tf.matmul([v],w) + b
_result.append(out)
result.append(tf.concat(_result, 0))
r = tf.stack(result)
print("batch output:",r.shape)
return r
Which seems to be working when called directly:
dim = DimensionReducer(3, [3,4,6])
dim(tf.ragged.constant(arr))
But when I try to incorporate it into a model, it fails:
import tensorflow as tf
val_ragged = tf.ragged.constant(arr)
inputs_ragged = tf.keras.layers.Input(shape=(None,None), ragged=True)
outputs_ragged = DimensionReducer(3, [3,4,6])(inputs_ragged)
model_ragged = tf.keras.Model(inputs=inputs_ragged, outputs=outputs_ragged)
# this one with RaggedTensor doesn't
print(model_ragged(val_ragged))
With
AttributeError: 'DimensionReducer' object has no attribute 'w_Tensor("dimension_reducer_98/strided_slice:0", shape=(), dtype=int32)'
I'm not sure how am I to implement such a layer, or what I'm doing wrong.
I'm trying to implement queues for my tensorflow prediction but get the following error -
you must feed a value for placeholder tensor 'in' with dtype float and shape [1024,1024,3]
The program works fine if I use the feed_dict, Trying to replace feed_dict with queues.
The program basically takes a list of positions and passes the image np array to the input tensor.
for each in positions:
y,x = each
images = img[y:y+1024,x:x+1024,:]
a = images.astype('float32')
q = tf.FIFOQueue(capacity=200,dtypes=dtypes)
enqueue_op = q.enqueue(a)
qr = tf.train.QueueRunner(q, [enqueue_op] * 1)
tf.train.add_queue_runner(qr)
data = q.dequeue()
graph=load_graph('/home/graph/frozen_graph.pb')
with tf.Session(graph=graph,config=tf.ConfigProto(log_device_placement=True)) as sess:
p_boxes = graph.get_tensor_by_name("cat:0")
p_confs = graph.get_tensor_by_name("sha:0")
y = [p_confs, p_boxes]
x = graph.get_tensor_by_name("in:0")
coord = tf.train.Coordinator()
threads = tf.train.start_queue_runners(coord=coord,sess=sess)
confs, boxes = sess.run(y)
coord.request_stop()
coord.join(threads)
How can I make sure the input data that I populated to the queue is recognized while running the graph in the session.
In my original run I call the
confs, boxes = sess.run([p_confs, p_boxes], feed_dict=feed_dict_testing)
I'd suggest not using queues for this problem, and switching to the new tf.data API. In particular tf.data.Dataset.from_generator() makes it easier to feed in data from a Python function. You can rewrite your code to be much simpler, as follows:
def generator():
for y, x in positions:
images = img[y:y+1024,x:x+1024,:]
yield images.astype('float32')
dataset = tf.data.Dataset.from_generator(
generator, tf.float32, [1024, 1024, img.shape[3]])
# Add any extra transformations in here, like `dataset.batch()` or
# `dataset.repeat()`.
# ...
iterator = dataset.make_one_shot_iterator()
data = iterator.get_next()
Note that in your program, there's no connection between the data tensor and the graph you loaded in load_graph() (at least, assuming that load_graph() doesn't grab data from the global state!). You will probably need to use tf.import_graph_def() and the input_map argument to associate data with one of the tensors in your frozen graph (possibly "in:0"?) to complete the task.
I am working with Reinforcement Learning and wanting to reduce the amount of data I feed through the sess.run() during training to speed up learning.
I was looking into the LSTM and with the need to look forward and reset to find proper Q values, I crafted a solution such as this with tf.case():
CurrentStateOption = tf.Variable(0, trainable=False, name='SavedState')
with tf.name_scope("LSTMLayer") as scope:
initializer = tf.random_uniform_initializer(-.1, .1)
lstm_cell_L1 = tf.nn.rnn_cell.LSTMCell(self.input_sizes, forget_bias=1.0, initializer=initializer, state_is_tuple=True)
self.cell_L1 = tf.nn.rnn_cell.MultiRNNCell([lstm_cell_L1] *self.NumberLSTMLayers, state_is_tuple=True)
self.state = self.cell_L1.zero_state(1,tf.float64)
self.SavedState = self.cell_L1.zero_state(1,tf.float64) #tf.Variable(state, trainable=False, name='SavedState')
#SaveCond = tf.cond(tf.equal(CurrentStateOption,tf.constant(1)), self.SaveState, self.SameState)
#RestoreCond = tf.cond(tf.equal(CurrentStateOption,tf.constant(-1)), self.RestoreState, self.SameState)
#ZeroCond = tf.cond(tf.less(CurrentStateOption,tf.constant(-1)), self.ZeroState, self.SameState)
self.state = tf.case({tf.equal(CurrentStateOption,tf.constant(1)): self.SaveState, tf.equal(CurrentStateOption,tf.constant(-1)): self.RestoreState,
tf.less(CurrentStateOption,tf.constant(-1)): self.ZeroState}, default=self.SameState, exclusive=True)
RunConditions = tf.group([SaveCond, RestoreCond, ZeroCond])
self.Xinputs = [tf.concat(1,[Xinputs])]
outputs, stateFINAL_L1 = rnn.rnn(self.cell_L1,self.Xinputs, initial_state=self.state, dtype=tf.float32)
def RestoreState(self):
#self.state = self.state.assign(self.SavedState)
self.state = self.SavedState
return self.state
def ZeroState(self):
self.state = self.cell_L1.zero_state(1,tf.float64)
return self.state
def SaveState(self):
#self.SavedState = self.SavedState.assign(self.state)
self.SavedState = self.state
return self.SavedState
def SameState(self):
return self.state
This seems to work well in concept as now I can feed an INT to instruct the LSTM Graph what to do with the state. If I Pass "1" it will save the state before executing, if I pass "-1" it will Restore the last saved state, if I pass "< -1" it will zero the state. If "0" it will use what is in the LSTM from last run (inference). I have tried a few different approaches, include a simpler tf.cond() approach.
The issue I think stems from the tf.case() Op needing tensors, but the LSTM state is a Tuple (and non-tuple is going to be depreciated). This became clear when I tried to tf.assign() the value to the graph variable.
My end goal is to leave the "state" within the graph, but pass an INT to instruct what to do with the state. In the future I would like to have multiple "store" locations for various look-backs.
Any ideas how to handle tf.case() type of structure with tuples vs tensors?
I believe having one tf.case() per element in the state tuple should work, since the tuple is just a python tuple.
I want to design a single layer RNN in Tensorflow such that last output (y(t-1)) is participated in updating the hidden state.
h(t) = tanh(W_{ih} * x(t) + W_{hh} * h(t) + **W_{oh}y(t - 1)**)
y(t) = W_{ho}*h(t)
How can I feed last input y(t - 1) as input for updating the hidden state?
Is y(t-1) the last input or output? In both cases it is not a straight fit with the TensorFlow RNN cell abstraction. If your RNN is simple you can just write the loop on your own, then you have full control. Another way that I would use is to pre-process your RNN input, e.g., do something like:
processed_input[t] = tf.concat(input[t], input[t-1])
Then call the RNN cell with processed_input and split there.
One possibility is to use tf.nn.raw_rnn which I found in this article. Check my answer to this related post.
I would call what you described an "autoregressive RNN". Here's an (incomplete) code snippet that shows how you can create one using tf.nn.raw_rnn:
import tensorflow as tf
LSTM_SIZE = 128
BATCH_SIZE = 64
HORIZON = 10
lstm_cell = tf.nn.rnn_cell.LSTMCell(LSTM_SIZE, use_peepholes=True)
class RnnLoop:
def __init__(self, initial_state, cell):
self.initial_state = initial_state
self.cell = cell
def __call__(self, time, cell_output, cell_state, loop_state):
emit_output = cell_output # == None for time == 0
if cell_output is None: # time == 0
initial_input = tf.fill([BATCH_SIZE, LSTM_SIZE], 0.0)
next_input = initial_input
next_cell_state = self.initial_state
else:
next_input = cell_output
next_cell_state = cell_state
elements_finished = (time >= HORIZON)
next_loop_state = None
return elements_finished, next_input, next_cell_state, emit_output, next_loop_state
rnn_loop = RnnLoop(initial_state=initial_state_tensor, cell=lstm_cell)
rnn_outputs_tensor_array, _, _ = tf.nn.raw_rnn(lstm_cell, rnn_loop)
rnn_outputs_tensor = rnn_outputs_tensor_array.stack()
Here we initialize internal state of LSTM with some vector initial_state_tensor, and feed zero array as input at t=0. After that, the output of the current timestep is the input for the next timestep.
