Training a simple neural network, with tensorflow/datasets data loading

Forked from neural_network_and_data_loading.ipynb

Let's combine everything we showed in the quickstart to train a simple neural network. We will first specify and train a simple MLP on MNIST using JAX for the computation. We will use tensorflow/datasets data loading API to load images and labels (because it's pretty great, and the world doesn't need yet another data loading library :P).

Of course, you can use JAX with any API that is compatible with NumPy to make specifying the model a bit more plug-and-play. Here, just for explanatory purposes, we won't use any neural network libraries or special APIs for building our model.

Hyperparameters

Let's get a few bookkeeping items out of the way.

# A helper function to randomly initialize weights and biases
# for a dense neural network layer
def random_layer_params(m, n, key, scale=1e-2):
  w_key, b_key = random.split(key)
  return scale * random.normal(w_key, (n, m)), scale * random.normal(b_key, (n,))

# Initialize all layers for a fully-connected neural network with sizes "sizes"
def init_network_params(sizes, key):
  keys = random.split(key, len(sizes))
  return [random_layer_params(m, n, k) for m, n, k in zip(sizes[:-1], sizes[1:], keys)]

step_size = 0.01
num_epochs = 10

params = init_network_params(layer_sizes, random.key(0))

Auto-batching predictions

Let us first define our prediction function. Note that we're defining this for a single image example. We're going to use JAX's vmap function to automatically handle mini-batches, with no performance penalty.

:id: 7APc6tD7TiuZ

from jax.scipy.special import logsumexp

def relu(x):
  return jnp.maximum(0, x)

def predict(params, image):
  # per-example predictions
  activations = image
  for w, b in params[:-1]:
    outputs = jnp.dot(w, activations) + b
    activations = relu(outputs)

  final_w, final_b = params[-1]
  logits = jnp.dot(final_w, activations) + final_b
  return logits - logsumexp(logits)

Let's check that our prediction function only works on single images.

:id: 4sW2A5mnXHc5
:outputId: ce9d86ed-a830-4832-e04d-10d1abb1fb8a

# This works on single examples
random_flattened_image = random.normal(random.key(1), (28 * 28,))
preds = predict(params, random_flattened_image)
print(preds.shape)

:id: PpyQxuedXfhp
:outputId: f43bbc9d-bc8f-4168-ee7b-79ee9d33f245

# Doesn't work with a batch
random_flattened_images = random.normal(random.key(1), (10, 28 * 28))
try:
  preds = predict(params, random_flattened_images)
except TypeError:
  print('Invalid shapes!')

:id: oJOOncKMXbwK
:outputId: fa380024-aaf8-4789-d3a2-f060134930e6

# Let's upgrade it to handle batches using `vmap`

# Make a batched version of the `predict` function
batched_predict = vmap(predict, in_axes=(None, 0))

# `batched_predict` has the same call signature as `predict`
batched_preds = batched_predict(params, random_flattened_images)
print(batched_preds.shape)

+++ {"id": "elsG6nX03BvW"}

At this point, we have all the ingredients we need to define our neural network and train it. We've built an auto-batched version of predict, which we should be able to use in a loss function. We should be able to use grad to take the derivative of the loss with respect to the neural network parameters. Last, we should be able to use jit to speed up everything.

  target_class = jnp.argmax(targets, axis=1)
  predicted_class = jnp.argmax(batched_predict(params, images), axis=1)
  return jnp.mean(predicted_class == target_class)

  preds = batched_predict(params, images)

Data loading with tensorflow/datasets

JAX is laser-focused on program transformations and accelerator-backed NumPy, so we don't include data loading or munging in the JAX library. There are already a lot of great data loaders out there, so let's just use them instead of reinventing anything. We'll use the tensorflow/datasets data loader.

:id: uWvo1EgZCvnK

import tensorflow as tf
# Ensure TF does not see GPU and grab all GPU memory.
tf.config.set_visible_devices([], device_type='GPU')

import tensorflow_datasets as tfds

data_dir = '/tmp/tfds'

# Fetch full datasets for evaluation
# tfds.load returns tf.Tensors (or tf.data.Datasets if batch_size != -1)
# You can convert them to NumPy arrays (or iterables of NumPy arrays) with tfds.dataset_as_numpy
mnist_data, info = tfds.load(name="mnist", batch_size=-1, data_dir=data_dir, with_info=True)
mnist_data = tfds.as_numpy(mnist_data)
train_data, test_data = mnist_data['train'], mnist_data['test']
num_labels = info.features['label'].num_classes
h, w, c = info.features['image'].shape
num_pixels = h * w * c

# Full train set
train_images, train_labels = train_data['image'], train_data['label']
train_images = jnp.reshape(train_images, (len(train_images), num_pixels))
train_labels = one_hot(train_labels, num_labels)

# Full test set
test_images, test_labels = test_data['image'], test_data['label']
test_images = jnp.reshape(test_images, (len(test_images), num_pixels))
test_labels = one_hot(test_labels, num_labels)

We've now used most of the JAX API: grad for derivatives, jit for speedups and vmap for auto-vectorization. We used NumPy to specify all of our computation, and borrowed the great data loaders from tensorflow/datasets, and ran the whole thing on the GPU.
