In this example we show how to fit a Variational Autoencoder using TFP's "probabilistic layers."
### Dependencies \& Prerequisites
### Import
import numpy as np
import tensorflow as tf
import tf_keras as tfk
import tensorflow_datasets as tfds
import tensorflow_probability as tfp
tfkl = tf_keras.layers
tfpl = tfp.layers
tfd = tfp.distributions
### Make things Fast!
Before we dive in, let's make sure we're using a GPU for this demo.
To do this, select "Runtime" -\> "Change runtime type" -\> "Hardware accelerator" -\> "GPU".
The following snippet will verify that we have access to a GPU.
if tf.test.gpu_device_name() != '/device:GPU:0':
print('WARNING: GPU device not found.')
else:
print('SUCCESS: Found GPU: {}'.format(tf.test.gpu_device_name()))
```
SUCCESS: Found GPU: /device:GPU:0
```
> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** if for some reason you cannot access a GPU, this colab will still work. (Training will just take longer.)
### Load Dataset
datasets, datasets_info = tfds.load(name='mnist',
with_info=True,
as_supervised=False)
def _preprocess(sample):
image = tf.cast(sample['image'], tf.float32) / 255. # Scale to unit interval.
image = image < tf.random.uniform(tf.shape(image)) # Randomly binarize.
return image, image
train_dataset = (datasets['train']
.map(_preprocess)
.batch(256)
.prefetch(tf.data.AUTOTUNE)
.shuffle(int(10e3)))
eval_dataset = (datasets['test']
.map(_preprocess)
.batch(256)
.prefetch(tf.data.AUTOTUNE))
Note that *preprocess() above returns `image, image` rather than just `image` because Keras is set up for discriminative models with an (example, label) input format, i.e. \\(p*\\theta(y\|x)\\). Since the goal of the VAE is to recover the input x from x itself (i.e. \\(p_\\theta(x\|x)\\)), the data pair is (example, example).
### VAE Code Golf
#### Specify model.
input_shape = datasets_info.features['image'].shape
encoded_size = 16
base_depth = 32
prior = tfd.Independent(tfd.Normal(loc=tf.zeros(encoded_size), scale=1),
reinterpreted_batch_ndims=1)
encoder = tfk.Sequential([
tfkl.InputLayer(input_shape=input_shape),
tfkl.Lambda(lambda x: tf.cast(x, tf.float32) - 0.5),
tfkl.Conv2D(base_depth, 5, strides=1,
padding='same', activation=tf.nn.leaky_relu),
tfkl.Conv2D(base_depth, 5, strides=2,
padding='same', activation=tf.nn.leaky_relu),
tfkl.Conv2D(2 * base_depth, 5, strides=1,
padding='same', activation=tf.nn.leaky_relu),
tfkl.Conv2D(2 * base_depth, 5, strides=2,
padding='same', activation=tf.nn.leaky_relu),
tfkl.Conv2D(4 * encoded_size, 7, strides=1,
padding='valid', activation=tf.nn.leaky_relu),
tfkl.Flatten(),
tfkl.Dense(tfpl.MultivariateNormalTriL.params_size(encoded_size),
activation=None),
tfpl.MultivariateNormalTriL(
encoded_size,
activity_regularizer=tfpl.KLDivergenceRegularizer(prior)),
])
