tfp.layers.Convolution3DReparameterization

Class Convolution3DReparameterization

3D convolution layer (e.g. spatial convolution over volumes).

This layer creates a convolution kernel that is convolved (actually cross-correlated) with the layer input to produce a tensor of outputs. It may also include a bias addition and activation function on the outputs. It assumes the kernel and/or bias are drawn from distributions.

By default, the layer implements a stochastic forward pass via sampling from the kernel and bias posteriors,

outputs = f(inputs; kernel, bias), kernel, bias ~ posterior

where f denotes the layer's calculation. It uses the reparameterization estimator [(Kingma and Welling, 2014)][1], which performs a Monte Carlo approximation of the distribution integrating over the kernel and bias.

The arguments permit separate specification of the surrogate posterior (q(W|x)), prior (p(W)), and divergence for both the kernel and bias distributions.

Upon being built, this layer adds losses (accessible via the losses property) representing the divergences of kernel and/or bias surrogate posteriors and their respective priors. When doing minibatch stochastic optimization, make sure to scale this loss such that it is applied just once per epoch (e.g. if kl is the sum of losses for each element of the batch, you should pass kl / num_examples_per_epoch to your optimizer).

Examples

We illustrate a Bayesian neural network with variational inference, assuming a dataset of features and labels.

import tensorflow as tf
import tensorflow_probability as tfp

model = tf.keras.Sequential([
    tf.keras.layers.Reshape([256, 32, 32, 3]),
    tfp.layers.Convolution3DReparameterization(
        64, kernel_size=5, padding='SAME', activation=tf.nn.relu),
    tf.keras.layers.MaxPooling3D(pool_size=[2, 2, 2],
                                 strides=[2, 2, 2],
                                 padding='SAME'),
    tf.keras.layers.Flatten(),
    tfp.layers.DenseReparameterization(10),
])

logits = model(features)
neg_log_likelihood = tf.nn.softmax_cross_entropy_with_logits(
    labels=labels, logits=logits)
kl = sum(model.losses)
loss = neg_log_likelihood + kl
train_op = tf.train.AdamOptimizer().minimize(loss)

It uses reparameterization gradients to minimize the Kullback-Leibler divergence up to a constant, also known as the negative Evidence Lower Bound. It consists of the sum of two terms: the expected negative log-likelihood, which we approximate via Monte Carlo; and the KL divergence, which is added via regularizer terms which are arguments to the layer.

Construct layer.

Args:

• filters: Integer, the dimensionality of the output space (i.e. the number of filters in the convolution).
• kernel_size: An integer or tuple/list of 3 integers, specifying the depth, height and width of the 3D convolution window. Can be a single integer to specify the same value for all spatial dimensions.
• strides: An integer or tuple/list of 3 integers, specifying the strides of the convolution along the depth, height and width. Can be a single integer to specify the same value for all spatial dimensions. Specifying any stride value != 1 is incompatible with specifying any dilation_rate value != 1.
• padding: One of "valid" or "same" (case-insensitive).
• data_format: A string, one of channels_last (default) or channels_first. The ordering of the dimensions in the inputs. channels_last corresponds to inputs with shape (batch, depth, height, width, channels) while channels_first corresponds to inputs with shape (batch, channels, depth, height, width).
• dilation_rate: An integer or tuple/list of 3 integers, specifying the dilation rate to use for dilated convolution. Can be a single integer to specify the same value for all spatial dimensions. Currently, specifying any dilation_rate value != 1 is incompatible with specifying any stride value != 1.
• activation: Activation function. Set it to None to maintain a linear activation.
• activity_regularizer: Regularizer function for the output.
• kernel_posterior_fn: Python callable which creates tfd.Distribution instance representing the surrogate posterior of the kernel parameter. Default value: default_mean_field_normal_fn().
• kernel_posterior_tensor_fn: Python callable which takes a tfd.Distribution instance and returns a representative value. Default value: lambda d: d.sample().
• kernel_prior_fn: Python callable which creates tfd instance. See default_mean_field_normal_fn docstring for required parameter signature. Default value: tfd.Normal(loc=0., scale=1.).
• kernel_divergence_fn: Python callable which takes the surrogate posterior distribution, prior distribution and random variate sample(s) from the surrogate posterior and computes or approximates the KL divergence. The distributions are tfd.Distribution-like instances and the sample is a Tensor.
• bias_posterior_fn: Python callable which creates tfd.Distribution instance representing the surrogate posterior of the bias parameter. Default value: default_mean_field_normal_fn(is_singular=True) (which creates an instance of tfd.Deterministic).
• bias_posterior_tensor_fn: Python callable which takes a tfd.Distribution instance and returns a representative value. Default value: lambda d: d.sample().
• bias_prior_fn: Python callable which creates tfd instance. See default_mean_field_normal_fn docstring for required parameter signature. Default value: None (no prior, no variational inference)
• bias_divergence_fn: Python callable which takes the surrogate posterior distribution, prior distribution and random variate sample(s) from the surrogate posterior and computes or approximates the KL divergence. The distributions are tfd.Distribution-like instances and the sample is a Tensor.
