18 Jun 2018CPOL3 min read 30.5K  
Third article of a series of articles introducing deep learning coding in Python and Keras framework

Introduction

This article doesn't give you an introduction to deep learning. You are supposed to know the basics of deep learning and a little of Python coding. The main objective of this article is to introduce you to the basics of Keras framework and use with another known library to make a quick experiment and take the first conclusions.

Background

This article shows the ResNet architecture which was introduced by Microsoft, and won the ILSVRC (ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge) in 2015. You can see the paper here.

Image 1

The key concept is to increase the layer number introducing a residual connection (with an identity layer). This layer go to the next layer directly, improving the learning process.

Image 2

We will do the same experiment that we did in the previous chapters. I will not show the sections of loading the CIFAR-100 dataset, setting up the experiment and download python libraries. All are the same as in the previous chapter.

Using the Code

Keras has this architecture at our disposal, but has the problem that, by default, the size of the images must be greater than 187 pixels, so we will define a smaller architecture.

Python
def CustomResNet50(include_top=True, input_tensor=None, 
                   input_shape=(32,32,3), pooling=None, classes=100):
    if input_tensor is None:
        img_input = Input(shape=input_shape)
    else:
        if not K.is_keras_tensor(input_tensor):
            img_input = Input(tensor=input_tensor, shape=input_shape)
        else:
            img_input = input_tensor
    if K.image_data_format() == 'channels_last':
        bn_axis = 3
    else:
        bn_axis = 1

    x = ZeroPadding2D(padding=(2, 2), name='conv1_pad')(img_input)
    
    x = resnet50.conv_block(x, 3, [32, 32, 64], stage=2, block='a')
    x = resnet50.identity_block(x, 3, [32, 32, 64], stage=2, block='b')
    x = resnet50.identity_block(x, 3, [32, 32, 64], stage=2, block='c')

    x = resnet50.conv_block(x, 3, [64, 64, 256], stage=3, block='a', strides=(1, 1))
    x = resnet50.identity_block(x, 3, [64, 64, 256], stage=3, block='b')
    x = resnet50.identity_block(x, 3, [64, 64, 256], stage=3, block='c')

    x = resnet50.conv_block(x, 3, [128, 128, 512], stage=4, block='a')
    x = resnet50.identity_block(x, 3, [128, 128, 512], stage=4, block='b')
    x = resnet50.identity_block(x, 3, [128, 128, 512], stage=4, block='c')
    x = resnet50.identity_block(x, 3, [128, 128, 512], stage=4, block='d')

    x = resnet50.conv_block(x, 3, [256, 256, 1024], stage=5, block='a')
    x = resnet50.identity_block(x, 3, [256, 256, 1024], stage=5, block='b')
    x = resnet50.identity_block(x, 3, [256, 256, 1024], stage=5, block='c')
    x = resnet50.identity_block(x, 3, [256, 256, 1024], stage=5, block='d')
    x = resnet50.identity_block(x, 3, [256, 256, 1024], stage=5, block='e')
    x = resnet50.identity_block(x, 3, [256, 256, 1024], stage=5, block='f')

    x = resnet50.conv_block(x, 3, [512, 512, 2048], stage=6, block='a')
    x = resnet50.identity_block(x, 3, [512, 512, 2048], stage=6, block='b')
    x = resnet50.identity_block(x, 3, [512, 512, 2048], stage=6, block='c')

    x = AveragePooling2D((1, 1), name='avg_pool')(x)

    if include_top:
        x = Flatten()(x)
        x = Dense(classes, activation='softmax', name='fc1000')(x)
    else:
        if pooling == 'avg':
            x = GlobalAveragePooling2D()(x)
        elif pooling == 'max':
            x = GlobalMaxPooling2D()(x)

    # Ensure that the model takes into account
    # any potential predecessors of `input_tensor`.
    if input_tensor is not None:
        inputs = get_source_inputs(input_tensor)
    else:
        inputs = img_input
    # Create model.
    model = Model(inputs, x, name='resnet50')

    return model

Like previous articles, we compile with same parameters:

Python
def create_custom_resnet50():
  model = CustomResNet50(include_top=True, input_tensor=None, 
                         input_shape=(32,32,3), pooling=None, classes=100)
  
  return model
  
custom_resnet50_model = create_custom_resnet50()
custom_resnet50_model.compile(loss='categorical_crossentropy', optimizer='sgd', metrics=['acc', 'mse'])

Once it's done, we can see a summary of the model created.

Python
custom_resnet50_model.summary()

Let's see the metrics for the train and test results graphically (using matplotlib library, of course).

Python
plt.figure(0)
plt.plot(crn50.history['acc'],'r')
plt.plot(crn50.history['val_acc'],'g')
plt.xticks(np.arange(0, 11, 2.0))
plt.rcParams['figure.figsize'] = (8, 6)
plt.xlabel("Num of Epochs")
plt.ylabel("Accuracy")
plt.title("Training Accuracy vs Validation Accuracy")
plt.legend(['train','validation'])
 
plt.figure(1)
plt.plot(crn50.history['loss'],'r')
plt.plot(crn50.history['val_loss'],'g')
plt.xticks(np.arange(0, 11, 2.0))
plt.rcParams['figure.figsize'] = (8, 6)
plt.xlabel("Num of Epochs")
plt.ylabel("Loss")
plt.title("Training Loss vs Validation Loss")
plt.legend(['train','validation'])
 
plt.show()

The training has given acceptable results and has generalized well (0.0119).

Confusion Matrix

Once we have trained our model, we want to see another metrics before taking any conclusion of the usability of the model we have created. For this, we will create the confusion matrix and, from that, we will see the precision, recall y F1-score metrics (see wikipedia).

To create the confusion matrix, we need to make the predictions over the test set and then, we can create the confusion matrix and show that metrics.

Python
crn50_pred = custom_resnet50_model.predict(x_test, batch_size=32, verbose=1)
crn50_predicted = np.argmax(crn50_pred, axis=1)

crn50_cm = confusion_matrix(np.argmax(y_test, axis=1), crn50_predicted)

# Visualizing of confusion matrix
crn50_df_cm = pd.DataFrame(crn50_cm, range(100), range(100))
plt.figure(figsize = (20,14))
sn.set(font_scale=1.4) #for label size
sn.heatmap(crn50_df_cm, annot=True, annot_kws={"size": 12}) # font size
plt.show()

And the next step, show the metrics.

Python
crn50_report = classification_report(np.argmax(y_test, axis=1), crn50_predicted)
print(crn50_report)

ROC Curve

The ROC curve is used by binary clasifiers because is a good tool to see the true positives rate versus false positives. The following lines show the code for the multiclass classification ROC curve. This code is from DloLogy, but you can go to the Scikit Learn documentation page.

Python
from sklearn.datasets import make_classification
from sklearn.preprocessing import label_binarize
from scipy import interp
from itertools import cycle

n_classes = 100

from sklearn.metrics import roc_curve, auc

# Plot linewidth.
lw = 2

# Compute ROC curve and ROC area for each class
fpr = dict()
tpr = dict()
roc_auc = dict()
for i in range(n_classes):
    fpr[i], tpr[i], _ = roc_curve(y_test[:, i], crn50_pred[:, i])
    roc_auc[i] = auc(fpr[i], tpr[i])

# Compute micro-average ROC curve and ROC area
fpr["micro"], tpr["micro"], _ = roc_curve(y_test.ravel(), crn50_pred.ravel())
roc_auc["micro"] = auc(fpr["micro"], tpr["micro"])

# Compute macro-average ROC curve and ROC area

# First aggregate all false positive rates
all_fpr = np.unique(np.concatenate([fpr[i] for i in range(n_classes)]))

# Then interpolate all ROC curves at this points
mean_tpr = np.zeros_like(all_fpr)
for i in range(n_classes):
    mean_tpr += interp(all_fpr, fpr[i], tpr[i])

# Finally average it and compute AUC
mean_tpr /= n_classes

fpr["macro"] = all_fpr
tpr["macro"] = mean_tpr
roc_auc["macro"] = auc(fpr["macro"], tpr["macro"])

# Plot all ROC curves
plt.figure(1)
plt.plot(fpr["micro"], tpr["micro"],
         label='micro-average ROC curve (area = {0:0.2f})'
               ''.format(roc_auc["micro"]),
         color='deeppink', linestyle=':', linewidth=4)

plt.plot(fpr["macro"], tpr["macro"],
         label='macro-average ROC curve (area = {0:0.2f})'
               ''.format(roc_auc["macro"]),
         color='navy', linestyle=':', linewidth=4)

colors = cycle(['aqua', 'darkorange', 'cornflowerblue'])
for i, color in zip(range(n_classes-97), colors):
    plt.plot(fpr[i], tpr[i], color=color, lw=lw,
             label='ROC curve of class {0} (area = {1:0.2f})'
             ''.format(i, roc_auc[i]))

plt.plot([0, 1], [0, 1], 'k--', lw=lw)
plt.xlim([0.0, 1.0])
plt.ylim([0.0, 1.05])
plt.xlabel('False Positive Rate')
plt.ylabel('True Positive Rate')
plt.title('Some extension of Receiver operating characteristic to multi-class')
plt.legend(loc="lower right")
plt.show()


# Zoom in view of the upper left corner.
plt.figure(2)
plt.xlim(0, 0.2)
plt.ylim(0.8, 1)
plt.plot(fpr["micro"], tpr["micro"],
         label='micro-average ROC curve (area = {0:0.2f})'
               ''.format(roc_auc["micro"]),
         color='deeppink', linestyle=':', linewidth=4)

plt.plot(fpr["macro"], tpr["macro"],
         label='macro-average ROC curve (area = {0:0.2f})'
               ''.format(roc_auc["macro"]),
         color='navy', linestyle=':', linewidth=4)

colors = cycle(['aqua', 'darkorange', 'cornflowerblue'])
for i, color in zip(range(10), colors):
    plt.plot(fpr[i], tpr[i], color=color, lw=lw,
             label='ROC curve of class {0} (area = {1:0.2f})'
             ''.format(i, roc_auc[i]))

plt.plot([0, 1], [0, 1], 'k--', lw=lw)
plt.xlabel('False Positive Rate')
plt.ylabel('True Positive Rate')
plt.title('Some extension of Receiver operating characteristic to multi-class')
plt.legend(loc="lower right")

Then, we will save the train history results to future comparisons and the model.

Python
#Model
custom_resnet50_model.save(path_base + '/crn50.h5')

#Historical results
with open(path_base + '/crn50_history.txt', 'wb') as file_pi:
  pickle.dump(crn50.history, file_pi)

Models Comparisons

The next step is compare the metrics of the previous experiment with this results. We will compare accuracy, loss and mean squared errors for the models ConvNet and regular net that we saw in the previous chapters and some VGG models trained with the same parameters.

Python

plt.plot(snn.history['val_acc'],'r')
plt.plot(scnn.history['val_acc'],'g')
plt.plot(vgg16.history['val_acc'],'b')
plt.plot(vgg19.history['val_acc'],'y')
plt.plot(vgg16Bis.history['val_acc'],'m')
plt.plot(crn50.history['val_acc'],'gold')
plt.xticks(np.arange(0, 11, 2.0))
plt.rcParams['figure.figsize'] = (8, 6)
plt.xlabel("Num of Epochs")

Conclusion

As you can see, the architecture marks a turning point. Not only because it is of the best results than the previous architectures, but also in the training times, since it allows to increase the layers with an acceptable time; and also in the number of parameters, which has been reduced considerably with respect to the VGG architecture.

In the next article, we will show the DenseNet.
