Specifically, it learns to ensemble models from a candidate pool using the Adanet algorithm.

# A simple example of learning to ensemble linear and neural network
# models.

import adanet
import tensorflow as tf

feature_columns = ...

head = tf.contrib.estimator.multi_class_head(n_classes=3)

# Input builders
def input_fn_train:
  # Returns tf.data.Dataset of (x, y) tuple where y represents label's
  # class index.
  pass
def input_fn_eval:

Parameters:	head – A `tf.contrib.estimator.Head` instance for computing loss and evaluation metrics for every candidate. candidate_pool – List of `tf.estimator.Estimator` objects that are candidates to ensemble at each iteration. The order does not directly affect which candidates will be included in the final ensemble. max_iteration_steps – Total number of steps for which to train candidates per iteration. If OutOfRange or StopIteration occurs in the middle, training stops before max_iteration_steps steps. logits_fn – A function for fetching the subnetwork logits from a `tf.estimator.EstimatorSpec`, which should obey the following signature: Args: Can only have following argument: - estimator_spec: The candidate’s `tf.estimator.EstimatorSpec`. Returns: Logits `tf.Tensor` or dict of string to logits `tf.Tensor` (for multi-head) for the candidate subnetwork extracted from the given estimator_spec. When None, it will default to returning estimator_spec.predictions when they are a `tf.Tensor` or the `tf.Tensor` for the key ‘logits’ when they are a dict of string to `tf.Tensor`. adanet_lambda – See `adanet.Estimator`. evaluator – See `adanet.Estimator`. metric_fn – See `adanet.Estimator`. force_grow – See `adanet.Estimator`. adanet_loss_decay – See `adanet.Estimator`. worker_wait_timeout_secs – See `adanet.Estimator`. model_dir – See `adanet.Estimator`. config – See `adanet.Estimator`.
Returns:	An `adanet.AutoEnsembleEstimator` instance.
Raises:	`ValueError` – If any of the candidates in candidate_pool are not `tf.estimator.Estimator` instances.

eval_dir(name=None)¶

Shows the directory name where evaluation metrics are dumped.

Parameters:	name – Name of the evaluation if user needs to run multiple evaluations on different data sets, such as on training data vs test data. Metrics for different evaluations are saved in separate folders, and appear separately in tensorboard.
Returns:	A string which is the path of directory contains evaluation metrics.

evaluate(input_fn, steps=None, hooks=None, checkpoint_path=None, name=None)¶

Evaluates the model given evaluation data input_fn.

For each step, calls input_fn, which returns one batch of data. Evaluates until: - steps batches are processed, or - input_fn raises an end-of-input exception (tf.errors.OutOfRangeError or StopIteration).

Parameters:	input_fn – A function that constructs the input data for evaluation. See [Premade Estimators]( https://tensorflow.org/guide/premade#create_input_functions) for more information. The function should construct and return one of the following: * A tf.data.Dataset object: Outputs of Dataset object must be a tuple (features, labels) with same constraints as below. * A tuple (features, labels): Where features is a tf.Tensor or a dictionary of string feature name to Tensor and labels is a Tensor or a dictionary of string label name to Tensor. Both features and labels are consumed by model_fn. They should satisfy the expectation of model_fn from inputs. steps – Number of steps for which to evaluate model. If None, evaluates until input_fn raises an end-of-input exception. hooks – List of tf.train.SessionRunHook subclass instances. Used for callbacks inside the evaluation call. checkpoint_path – Path of a specific checkpoint to evaluate. If None, the latest checkpoint in model_dir is used. If there are no checkpoints in model_dir, evaluation is run with newly initialized Variables instead of ones restored from checkpoint. name – Name of the evaluation if user needs to run multiple evaluations on different data sets, such as on training data vs test data. Metrics for different evaluations are saved in separate folders, and appear separately in tensorboard.
Returns:	A dict containing the evaluation metrics specified in model_fn keyed by name, as well as an entry global_step which contains the value of the global step for which this evaluation was performed. For canned estimators, the dict contains the loss (mean loss per mini-batch) and the average_loss (mean loss per sample). Canned classifiers also return the accuracy. Canned regressors also return the label/mean and the prediction/mean.
Raises:	`ValueError` – If steps <= 0. `ValueError` – If no model has been trained, namely model_dir, or the given checkpoint_path is empty.

export_saved_model(export_dir_base, serving_input_receiver_fn, assets_extra=None, as_text=False, checkpoint_path=None)¶

Exports inference graph as a SavedModel into the given dir.

For a detailed guide, see [Using SavedModel with Estimators](https://tensorflow.org/guide/saved_model#using_savedmodel_with_estimators).

This method builds a new graph by first calling the serving_input_receiver_fn to obtain feature Tensor`s, and then calling this `Estimator’s model_fn to generate the model graph based on those features. It restores the given checkpoint (or, lacking that, the most recent checkpoint) into this graph in a fresh session. Finally it creates a timestamped export directory below the given export_dir_base, and writes a SavedModel into it containing a single tf.MetaGraphDef saved from this session.

The exported MetaGraphDef will provide one SignatureDef for each element of the export_outputs dict returned from the model_fn, named using the same keys. One of these keys is always tf.saved_model.signature_constants.DEFAULT_SERVING_SIGNATURE_DEF_KEY, indicating which signature will be served when a serving request does not specify one. For each signature, the outputs are provided by the corresponding tf.estimator.export.ExportOutput`s, and the inputs are always the input receivers provided by the `serving_input_receiver_fn.

Extra assets may be written into the SavedModel via the assets_extra argument. This should be a dict, where each key gives a destination path (including the filename) relative to the assets.extra directory. The corresponding value gives the full path of the source file to be copied. For example, the simple case of copying a single file without renaming it is specified as {‘my_asset_file.txt’: ‘/path/to/my_asset_file.txt’}.

Parameters:	export_dir_base – A string containing a directory in which to create timestamped subdirectories containing exported `SavedModel`s. serving_input_receiver_fn – A function that takes no argument and returns a tf.estimator.export.ServingInputReceiver or tf.estimator.export.TensorServingInputReceiver. assets_extra – A dict specifying how to populate the assets.extra directory within the exported SavedModel, or None if no extra assets are needed. as_text – whether to write the SavedModel proto in text format. checkpoint_path – The checkpoint path to export. If None (the default), the most recent checkpoint found within the model directory is chosen.
Returns:	The string path to the exported directory.
Raises:	`ValueError` – if no serving_input_receiver_fn is provided, no export_outputs are provided, or no checkpoint can be found.

export_savedmodel(export_dir_base, serving_input_receiver_fn, assets_extra=None, as_text=False, checkpoint_path=None, strip_default_attrs=False)¶

Exports inference graph as a SavedModel into the given dir.

Note that export_to_savedmodel will be renamed to export_saved_model in TensorFlow 2.0. At that time, export_to_savedmodel without the additional underscore will be available only through tf.compat.v1.

Please see tf.estimator.Estimator.export_saved_model for more information.

There is one additional arg versus the new method:

strip_default_attrs: This parameter is going away in TF 2.0, and: the new behavior will automatically strip all default attributes. Boolean. If True, default-valued attributes will be removed from the `NodeDef`s. For a detailed guide, see [Stripping Default-Valued Attributes]( https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/master/tensorflow/python/saved_model/README.md#stripping-default-valued-attributes).

get_variable_names()¶

Returns list of all variable names in this model.

Returns:	List of names.
Raises:	`ValueError` – If the Estimator has not produced a checkpoint yet.

get_variable_value(name)¶

Returns value of the variable given by name.

Parameters:	name – string or a list of string, name of the tensor.
Returns:	Numpy array - value of the tensor.
Raises:	`ValueError` – If the Estimator has not produced a checkpoint yet.

latest_checkpoint()¶

Finds the filename of the latest saved checkpoint file in model_dir.

Returns:	The full path to the latest checkpoint or None if no checkpoint was found.

model_fn¶

Returns the model_fn which is bound to self.params.

Returns:	def model_fn(features, labels, mode, config)
Return type:	The model_fn with following signature

predict(input_fn, predict_keys=None, hooks=None, checkpoint_path=None, yield_single_examples=True)¶

Yields predictions for given features.

Please note that interleaving two predict outputs does not work. See: [issue/20506]( https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/issues/20506#issuecomment-422208517)

Parameters:	input_fn – A function that constructs the features. Prediction continues until input_fn raises an end-of-input exception (tf.errors.OutOfRangeError or StopIteration). See [Premade Estimators]( https://tensorflow.org/guide/premade_estimators#create_input_functions) for more information. The function should construct and return one of the following: A tf.data.Dataset object: Outputs of Dataset object must have same constraints as below. features: A tf.Tensor or a dictionary of string feature name to Tensor. features are consumed by model_fn. They should satisfy the expectation of model_fn from inputs. A tuple, in which case the first item is extracted as features. predict_keys – list of str, name of the keys to predict. It is used if the tf.estimator.EstimatorSpec.predictions is a dict. If predict_keys is used then rest of the predictions will be filtered from the dictionary. If None, returns all. hooks – List of tf.train.SessionRunHook subclass instances. Used for callbacks inside the prediction call. checkpoint_path – Path of a specific checkpoint to predict. If None, the latest checkpoint in model_dir is used. If there are no checkpoints in model_dir, prediction is run with newly initialized Variables instead of ones restored from checkpoint. yield_single_examples – If False, yields the whole batch as returned by the model_fn instead of decomposing the batch into individual elements. This is useful if model_fn returns some tensors whose first dimension is not equal to the batch size.
Yields:	Evaluated values of predictions tensors.
Raises:	`ValueError` – Could not find a trained model in model_dir. `ValueError` – If batch length of predictions is not the same and yield_single_examples is True. `ValueError` – If there is a conflict between predict_keys and predictions. For example if predict_keys is not None but tf.estimator.EstimatorSpec.predictions is not a dict.

train(input_fn, hooks=None, steps=None, max_steps=None, saving_listeners=None)¶

Trains a model given training data input_fn.

Parameters:	input_fn – A function that provides input data for training as minibatches. See [Premade Estimators]( https://tensorflow.org/guide/premade_estimators#create_input_functions) for more information. The function should construct and return one of the following: * A tf.data.Dataset object: Outputs of Dataset object must be a tuple (features, labels) with same constraints as below. * A tuple (features, labels): Where features is a tf.Tensor or a dictionary of string feature name to Tensor and labels is a Tensor or a dictionary of string label name to Tensor. Both features and labels are consumed by model_fn. They should satisfy the expectation of model_fn from inputs. hooks – List of tf.train.SessionRunHook subclass instances. Used for callbacks inside the training loop. steps – Number of steps for which to train the model. If None, train forever or train until input_fn generates the tf.errors.OutOfRange error or StopIteration exception. steps works incrementally. If you call two times train(steps=10) then training occurs in total 20 steps. If OutOfRange or StopIteration occurs in the middle, training stops before 20 steps. If you don’t want to have incremental behavior please set max_steps instead. If set, max_steps must be None. max_steps – Number of total steps for which to train model. If None, train forever or train until input_fn generates the tf.errors.OutOfRange error or StopIteration exception. If set, steps must be None. If OutOfRange or StopIteration occurs in the middle, training stops before max_steps steps. Two calls to train(steps=100) means 200 training iterations. On the other hand, two calls to train(max_steps=100) means that the second call will not do any iteration since first call did all 100 steps. saving_listeners – list of CheckpointSaverListener objects. Used for callbacks that run immediately before or after checkpoint savings.
Returns:	self, for chaining.
Raises:	`ValueError` – If both steps and max_steps are not None. `ValueError` – If either steps or max_steps <= 0.

Estimator¶

class adanet.Estimator(head, subnetwork_generator, max_iteration_steps, mixture_weight_type='scalar', mixture_weight_initializer=None, warm_start_mixture_weights=False, adanet_lambda=0.0, adanet_beta=0.0, evaluator=None, report_materializer=None, use_bias=False, metric_fn=None, force_grow=False, replicate_ensemble_in_training=False, adanet_loss_decay=0.9, worker_wait_timeout_secs=7200, model_dir=None, report_dir=None, config=None, **kwargs)[source]¶

Bases: tensorflow.python.estimator.estimator.Estimator

The AdaNet algorithm implemented as a tf.estimator.Estimator.

AdaNet is as defined in the paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/1607.01097.

The AdaNet algorithm uses a weak learning algorithm to iteratively generate a set of candidate subnetworks that attempt to minimize the loss function defined in Equation (4) as part of an ensemble. At the end of each iteration, the best candidate is chosen based on its ensemble’s complexity-regularized train loss. New subnetworks are allowed to use any subnetwork weights within the previous iteration’s ensemble in order to improve upon them. If the complexity-regularized loss of the new ensemble, as defined in Equation (4), is less than that of the previous iteration’s ensemble, the AdaNet algorithm continues onto the next iteration.

AdaNet attempts to minimize the following loss function to learn the mixture weights ‘w’ of each subnetwork ‘h’ in the ensemble with differentiable convex non-increasing surrogate loss function Phi:

Equation (4):

\[F(w) = \frac{1}{m} \sum_{i=1}^{m} \Phi \left(\sum_{j=1}^{N}w_jh_j(x_i), y_i \right) + \sum_{j=1}^{N} \left(\lambda r(h_j) + \beta \right) |w_j|\]

with \(\lambda >= 0\) and \(\beta >= 0\).

This implementation uses an adanet.subnetwork.Generator as its weak learning algorithm for generating candidate subnetworks. These are trained in parallel using a single graph per iteration. At the end of each iteration, the estimator saves the sub-graph of the best subnetwork ensemble and its weights as a separate checkpoint. At the beginning of the next iteration, the estimator imports the previous iteration’s frozen graph and adds ops for the next candidates as part of a new graph and session. This allows the estimator have the performance of Tensorflow’s static graph constraint (minus the performance hit of reconstructing a graph between iterations), while having the flexibility of having a dynamic graph.

NOTE: Subclassing tf.estimator.Estimator is only necessary to work with tf.estimator.train_and_evaluate() which asserts that the estimator argument is a tf.estimator.Estimator subclass. However, all training is delegated to a separate tf.estimator.Estimator instance. It is responsible for supporting both local and distributed training. As such, the adanet.Estimator is only responsible for bookkeeping across iterations.

Parameters:	head – A `tf.contrib.estimator.Head` instance for computing loss and evaluation metrics for every candidate. subnetwork_generator – The `adanet.subnetwork.Generator` which defines the candidate subnetworks to train and evaluate at every AdaNet iteration. max_iteration_steps – Total number of steps for which to train candidates per iteration. If `OutOfRange` or `StopIteration` occurs in the middle, training stops before max_iteration_steps steps. mixture_weight_type – The `adanet.MixtureWeightType` defining which mixture weight type to learn in the linear combination of subnetwork outputs: `SCALAR`: creates a rank 0 tensor mixture weight . It performs an element- wise multiplication with its subnetwork’s logits. This mixture weight is the simplest to learn, the quickest to train, and most likely to generalize well. `VECTOR`: creates a tensor with shape [k] where k is the ensemble’s logits dimension as defined by head. It is similar to SCALAR in that it performs an element-wise multiplication with its subnetwork’s logits, but is more flexible in learning a subnetworks’s preferences per class. `MATRIX`: creates a tensor of shape [a, b] where a is the number of outputs from the subnetwork’s last_layer and b is the number of outputs from the ensemble’s logits. This weight matrix-multiplies the subnetwork’s last_layer. This mixture weight offers the most flexibility and expressivity, allowing subnetworks to have outputs of different dimensionalities. However, it also has the most trainable parameters (ab), and is therefore the most sensitive to learning rates and regularization. mixture_weight_initializer* – The initializer for mixture_weights. When None, the default is different according to mixture_weight_type: `SCALAR`: initializes to 1/N where N is the number of subnetworks in the ensemble giving a uniform average. `VECTOR`: initializes each entry to 1/N where N is the number of subnetworks in the ensemble giving a uniform average. `MATRIX`: uses `tf.zeros_initializer()`. warm_start_mixture_weights – Whether, at the beginning of an iteration, to initialize the mixture weights of the subnetworks from the previous ensemble to their learned value at the previous iteration, as opposed to retraining them from scratch. Takes precedence over the value for mixture_weight_initializer for subnetworks from previous iterations. adanet_lambda – Float multiplier ‘lambda’ for applying L1 regularization to subnetworks’ mixture weights ‘w’ in the ensemble proportional to their complexity. See Equation (4) in the AdaNet paper. adanet_beta – Float L1 regularization multiplier ‘beta’ to apply equally to all subnetworks’ weights ‘w’ in the ensemble regardless of their complexity. See Equation (4) in the AdaNet paper. evaluator – An `adanet.Evaluator` for candidate selection after all subnetworks are done training. When None, candidate selection uses a moving average of their `adanet.Ensemble` AdaNet loss during training instead. In order to use the AdaNet algorithm as described in [Cortes et al., ‘17], the given `adanet.Evaluator` must be created with the same dataset partition used during training. Otherwise, this framework will perform AdaNet.HoldOut which uses a holdout set for candidate selection, but does not benefit from learning guarantees. report_materializer – An `adanet.ReportMaterializer`. Its reports are made available to the subnetwork_generator at the next iteration, so that it can adapt its search space. When None, the subnetwork_generator `generate_candidates()` method will receive empty Lists for their previous_ensemble_reports and all_reports arguments. use_bias – Whether to add a bias term to the ensemble’s logits. Adding a bias allows the ensemble to learn a shift in the data, often leading to more stable training and better predictions. metric_fn – A function for adding custom evaluation metrics, which should obey the following signature: Args: Can only have the following three arguments in any order: - predictions: Predictions Tensor or dict of Tensor created by given head. features: Input dict of Tensor objects created by input_fn which is given to estimator.evaluate as an argument. labels: Labels Tensor or dict of Tensor (for multi-head) created by input_fn which is given to estimator.evaluate as an argument. Returns: Dict of metric results keyed by name. Final metrics are a union of this and head’s existing metrics. If there is a name conflict between this and head`s existing metrics, this will override the existing one. The values of the dict are the results of calling a metric function, namely a `(metric_tensor, update_op) tuple. force_grow – Boolean override that forces the ensemble to grow by one subnetwork at the end of each iteration. Normally at the end of each iteration, AdaNet selects the best candidate ensemble according to its performance on the AdaNet objective. In some cases, the best ensemble is the previous_ensemble as opposed to one that includes a newly trained subnetwork. When True, the algorithm will not select the previous_ensemble as the best candidate, and will ensure that after n iterations the final ensemble is composed of n subnetworks. replicate_ensemble_in_training – Whether to rebuild the frozen subnetworks of the ensemble in training mode, which can change the outputs of the frozen subnetworks in the ensemble. When False and during candidate training, the frozen subnetworks in the ensemble are in prediction mode, so training-only ops like dropout are not applied to them. When True and training the candidates, the frozen subnetworks will be in training mode as well, so they will apply training-only ops like dropout. This argument is useful for regularizing learning mixture weights, or for making training-only side inputs available in subsequent iterations. For most use-cases, this should be False. adanet_loss_decay – Float decay for the exponential-moving-average of the AdaNet objective throughout training. This moving average is a data- driven way tracking the best candidate with only the training set. worker_wait_timeout_secs – Float number of seconds for workers to wait for chief to prepare the next iteration during distributed training. This is needed to prevent workers waiting indefinitely for a chief that may have crashed or been turned down. When the timeout is exceeded, the worker exits the train loop. In situations where the chief job is much slower than the worker jobs, this timeout should be increased. model_dir – Directory to save model parameters, graph and etc. This can also be used to load checkpoints from the directory into a estimator to continue training a previously saved model. report_dir – Directory where the adanet.subnetwork.MaterializedReport`s materialized by `report_materializer would be saved. If report_materializer is None, this will not save anything. If None or empty string, defaults to “<model_dir>/report”. config – RunConfig object to configure the runtime settings. **kwargs – Extra keyword args passed to the parent.
Returns:	An Estimator instance.
Raises:	`ValueError` – If subnetwork_generator is None. `ValueError` – If max_iteration_steps is <= 0.

eval_dir(name=None)[source]¶

Shows the directory name where evaluation metrics are dumped.

Parameters:	name – Name of the evaluation if user needs to run multiple evaluations on different data sets, such as on training data vs test data. Metrics for different evaluations are saved in separate folders, and appear separately in tensorboard.
Returns:	A string which is the path of directory contains evaluation metrics.

evaluate(input_fn, steps=None, hooks=None, checkpoint_path=None, name=None)[source]¶

Evaluates the model given evaluation data input_fn.

For each step, calls input_fn, which returns one batch of data. Evaluates until: - steps batches are processed, or - input_fn raises an end-of-input exception (tf.errors.OutOfRangeError or StopIteration).

Parameters:	input_fn – A function that constructs the input data for evaluation. See [Premade Estimators]( https://tensorflow.org/guide/premade#create_input_functions) for more information. The function should construct and return one of the following: * A tf.data.Dataset object: Outputs of Dataset object must be a tuple (features, labels) with same constraints as below. * A tuple (features, labels): Where features is a tf.Tensor or a dictionary of string feature name to Tensor and labels is a Tensor or a dictionary of string label name to Tensor. Both features and labels are consumed by model_fn. They should satisfy the expectation of model_fn from inputs. steps – Number of steps for which to evaluate model. If None, evaluates until input_fn raises an end-of-input exception. hooks – List of tf.train.SessionRunHook subclass instances. Used for callbacks inside the evaluation call. checkpoint_path – Path of a specific checkpoint to evaluate. If None, the latest checkpoint in model_dir is used. If there are no checkpoints in model_dir, evaluation is run with newly initialized Variables instead of ones restored from checkpoint. name – Name of the evaluation if user needs to run multiple evaluations on different data sets, such as on training data vs test data. Metrics for different evaluations are saved in separate folders, and appear separately in tensorboard.
Returns:	A dict containing the evaluation metrics specified in model_fn keyed by name, as well as an entry global_step which contains the value of the global step for which this evaluation was performed. For canned estimators, the dict contains the loss (mean loss per mini-batch) and the average_loss (mean loss per sample). Canned classifiers also return the accuracy. Canned regressors also return the label/mean and the prediction/mean.
Raises:	`ValueError` – If steps <= 0. `ValueError` – If no model has been trained, namely model_dir, or the given checkpoint_path is empty.

export_saved_model(export_dir_base, serving_input_receiver_fn, assets_extra=None, as_text=False, checkpoint_path=None)[source]¶

Exports inference graph as a SavedModel into the given dir.

For a detailed guide, see [Using SavedModel with Estimators](https://tensorflow.org/guide/saved_model#using_savedmodel_with_estimators).

This method builds a new graph by first calling the serving_input_receiver_fn to obtain feature Tensor`s, and then calling this `Estimator’s model_fn to generate the model graph based on those features. It restores the given checkpoint (or, lacking that, the most recent checkpoint) into this graph in a fresh session. Finally it creates a timestamped export directory below the given export_dir_base, and writes a SavedModel into it containing a single tf.MetaGraphDef saved from this session.

The exported MetaGraphDef will provide one SignatureDef for each element of the export_outputs dict returned from the model_fn, named using the same keys. One of these keys is always tf.saved_model.signature_constants.DEFAULT_SERVING_SIGNATURE_DEF_KEY, indicating which signature will be served when a serving request does not specify one. For each signature, the outputs are provided by the corresponding tf.estimator.export.ExportOutput`s, and the inputs are always the input receivers provided by the `serving_input_receiver_fn.

Extra assets may be written into the SavedModel via the assets_extra argument. This should be a dict, where each key gives a destination path (including the filename) relative to the assets.extra directory. The corresponding value gives the full path of the source file to be copied. For example, the simple case of copying a single file without renaming it is specified as {‘my_asset_file.txt’: ‘/path/to/my_asset_file.txt’}.

Parameters:	export_dir_base – A string containing a directory in which to create timestamped subdirectories containing exported `SavedModel`s. serving_input_receiver_fn – A function that takes no argument and returns a tf.estimator.export.ServingInputReceiver or tf.estimator.export.TensorServingInputReceiver. assets_extra – A dict specifying how to populate the assets.extra directory within the exported SavedModel, or None if no extra assets are needed. as_text – whether to write the SavedModel proto in text format. checkpoint_path – The checkpoint path to export. If None (the default), the most recent checkpoint found within the model directory is chosen.
Returns:	The string path to the exported directory.
Raises:	`ValueError` – if no serving_input_receiver_fn is provided, no export_outputs are provided, or no checkpoint can be found.

export_savedmodel(export_dir_base, serving_input_receiver_fn, assets_extra=None, as_text=False, checkpoint_path=None, strip_default_attrs=False)[source]¶

Note that export_to_savedmodel will be renamed to export_saved_model in TensorFlow 2.0. At that time, export_to_savedmodel without the additional underscore will be available only through tf.compat.v1.

Please see tf.estimator.Estimator.export_saved_model for more information.

There is one additional arg versus the new method:

strip_default_attrs: This parameter is going away in TF 2.0, and: the new behavior will automatically strip all default attributes. Boolean. If True, default-valued attributes will be removed from the `NodeDef`s. For a detailed guide, see [Stripping Default-Valued Attributes]( https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/master/tensorflow/python/saved_model/README.md#stripping-default-valued-attributes).

Parameters:	input_fn – A function that constructs the features. Prediction continues until input_fn raises an end-of-input exception (tf.errors.OutOfRangeError or StopIteration). See [Premade Estimators]( https://tensorflow.org/guide/premade_estimators#create_input_functions) for more information. The function should construct and return one of the following: A tf.data.Dataset object: Outputs of Dataset object must have same constraints as below. features: A tf.Tensor or a dictionary of string feature name to Tensor. features are consumed by model_fn. They should satisfy the expectation of model_fn from inputs. A tuple, in which case the first item is extracted as features. predict_keys – list of str, name of the keys to predict. It is used if the tf.estimator.EstimatorSpec.predictions is a dict. If predict_keys is used then rest of the predictions will be filtered from the dictionary. If None, returns all. hooks – List of tf.train.SessionRunHook subclass instances. Used for callbacks inside the prediction call. checkpoint_path – Path of a specific checkpoint to predict. If None, the latest checkpoint in model_dir is used. If there are no checkpoints in model_dir, prediction is run with newly initialized Variables instead of ones restored from checkpoint. yield_single_examples – If False, yields the whole batch as returned by the model_fn instead of decomposing the batch into individual elements. This is useful if model_fn returns some tensors whose first dimension is not equal to the batch size.
Yields:	Evaluated values of predictions tensors.
Raises:	`ValueError` – Could not find a trained model in model_dir. `ValueError` – If batch length of predictions is not the same and yield_single_examples is True. `ValueError` – If there is a conflict between predict_keys and predictions. For example if predict_keys is not None but tf.estimator.EstimatorSpec.predictions is not a dict.

train(input_fn, hooks=None, steps=None, max_steps=None, saving_listeners=None)[source]¶

Trains a model given training data input_fn.

Parameters:	input_fn – A function that provides input data for training as minibatches. See [Premade Estimators]( https://tensorflow.org/guide/premade_estimators#create_input_functions) for more information. The function should construct and return one of the following: * A tf.data.Dataset object: Outputs of Dataset object must be a tuple (features, labels) with same constraints as below. * A tuple (features, labels): Where features is a tf.Tensor or a dictionary of string feature name to Tensor and labels is a Tensor or a dictionary of string label name to Tensor. Both features and labels are consumed by model_fn. They should satisfy the expectation of model_fn from inputs. hooks – List of tf.train.SessionRunHook subclass instances. Used for callbacks inside the training loop. steps – Number of steps for which to train the model. If None, train forever or train until input_fn generates the tf.errors.OutOfRange error or StopIteration exception. steps works incrementally. If you call two times train(steps=10) then training occurs in total 20 steps. If OutOfRange or StopIteration occurs in the middle, training stops before 20 steps. If you don’t want to have incremental behavior please set max_steps instead. If set, max_steps must be None. max_steps – Number of total steps for which to train model. If None, train forever or train until input_fn generates the tf.errors.OutOfRange error or StopIteration exception. If set, steps must be None. If OutOfRange or StopIteration occurs in the middle, training stops before max_steps steps. Two calls to train(steps=100) means 200 training iterations. On the other hand, two calls to train(max_steps=100) means that the second call will not do any iteration since first call did all 100 steps. saving_listeners – list of CheckpointSaverListener objects. Used for callbacks that run immediately before or after checkpoint savings.
Returns:	self, for chaining.
Raises:	`ValueError` – If both steps and max_steps are not None. `ValueError` – If either steps or max_steps <= 0.

eval_dir(name=None)¶

Shows the directory name where evaluation metrics are dumped.

Parameters:	name – Name of the evaluation if user needs to run multiple evaluations on different data sets, such as on training data vs test data. Metrics for different evaluations are saved in separate folders, and appear separately in tensorboard.
Returns:	A string which is the path of directory contains evaluation metrics.

evaluate(input_fn, steps=None, hooks=None, checkpoint_path=None, name=None)¶

Evaluates the model given evaluation data input_fn.

For each step, calls input_fn, which returns one batch of data. Evaluates until: - steps batches are processed, or - input_fn raises an end-of-input exception (tf.errors.OutOfRangeError or StopIteration).

Parameters:	input_fn – A function that constructs the input data for evaluation. See [Premade Estimators]( https://tensorflow.org/guide/premade#create_input_functions) for more information.

If None, evaluates until input_fn raises an end-of-input exception. hooks – List of tf.train.SessionRunHook subclass instances. Used for callbacks inside the evaluation call. checkpoint_path – Path of a specific checkpoint to evaluate. If None, the latest checkpoint in model_dir is used. If there are no checkpoints in model_dir, evaluation is run with newly initialized Variables instead of ones restored from checkpoint. name – Name of the evaluation if user needs to run multiple evaluations on different data sets, such as on training data vs test data. Metrics for different evaluations are saved in separate folders, and appear separately in tensorboard.
Returns:	A dict containing the evaluation metrics specified in model_fn keyed by name, as well as an entry global_step which contains the value of the global step for which this evaluation was performed. For canned estimators, the dict contains the loss (mean loss per mini-batch) and the average_loss (mean loss per sample). Canned classifiers also return the accuracy. Canned regressors also return the label/mean and the prediction/mean.
Raises:	`ValueError` – If steps <= 0. `ValueError` – If no model has been trained, namely model_dir, or the given checkpoint_path is empty.

export_saved_model(export_dir_base, serving_input_receiver_fn, assets_extra=None, as_text=False, checkpoint_path=None)¶

Exports inference graph as a SavedModel into the given dir.

For a detailed guide, see [Using SavedModel with Estimators](https://tensorflow.org/guide/saved_model#using_savedmodel_with_estimators).

This method builds a new graph by first calling the serving_input_receiver_fn to obtain feature Tensor`s, and then calling this `Estimator’s model_fn to generate the model graph based on those features. It restores the given checkpoint (or, lacking that, the most recent checkpoint) into this graph in a fresh session. Finally it creates a timestamped export directory below the given export_dir_base, and writes a SavedModel into it containing a single tf.MetaGraphDef saved from this session.

The exported MetaGraphDef will provide one SignatureDef for each element of the export_outputs dict returned from the model_fn, named using the same keys. One of these keys is always tf.saved_model.signature_constants.DEFAULT_SERVING_SIGNATURE_DEF_KEY, indicating which signature will be served when a serving request does not specify one. For each signature, the outputs are provided by the corresponding tf.estimator.export.ExportOutput`s, and the inputs are always the input receivers provided by the `serving_input_receiver_fn.

Extra assets may be written into the SavedModel via the assets_extra argument. This should be a dict, where each key gives a destination path (including the filename) relative to the assets.extra directory. The corresponding value gives the full path of the source file to be copied. For example, the simple case of copying a single file without renaming it is specified as {‘my_asset_file.txt’: ‘/path/to/my_asset_file.txt’}.

Parameters:	export_dir_base – A string containing a directory in which to create timestamped subdirectories containing exported `SavedModel`s. serving_input_receiver_fn – A function that takes no argument and returns a tf.estimator.export.ServingInputReceiver or tf.estimator.export.TensorServingInputReceiver. assets_extra – A dict specifying how to populate the assets.extra directory within the exported SavedModel, or None if no extra assets are needed. as_text – whether to write the SavedModel proto in text format. checkpoint_path – The checkpoint path to export. If None (the default), the most recent checkpoint found within the model directory is chosen.
Returns:	The string path to the exported directory.
Raises:	`ValueError` – if no serving_input_receiver_fn is provided, no export_outputs are provided, or no checkpoint can be found.

export_savedmodel(export_dir_base, serving_input_receiver_fn, assets_extra=None, as_text=False, checkpoint_path=None, strip_default_attrs=False)¶

Exports inference graph as a SavedModel into the given dir.

Note that export_to_savedmodel will be renamed to export_saved_model in TensorFlow 2.0. At that time, export_to_savedmodel without the additional underscore will be available only through tf.compat.v1.

Please see tf.estimator.Estimator.export_saved_model for more information.

There is one additional arg versus the new method:

strip_default_attrs: This parameter is going away in TF 2.0, and: the new behavior will automatically strip all default attributes. Boolean. If True, default-valued attributes will be removed from the `NodeDef`s. For a detailed guide, see [Stripping Default-Valued Attributes]( https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/master/tensorflow/python/saved_model/README.md#stripping-default-valued-attributes).

get_variable_names()¶

Returns list of all variable names in this model.

Returns:	List of names.
Raises:	`ValueError` – If the Estimator has not produced a checkpoint yet.

get_variable_value(name)¶

Returns value of the variable given by name.

Parameters:	name – string or a list of string, name of the tensor.
Returns:	Numpy array - value of the tensor.
Raises:	`ValueError` – If the Estimator has not produced a checkpoint yet.

latest_checkpoint()¶

Finds the filename of the latest saved checkpoint file in model_dir.

Returns:	The full path to the latest checkpoint or None if no checkpoint was found.

model_fn¶

Returns the model_fn which is bound to self.params.

Returns:	def model_fn(features, labels, mode, config)
Return type:	The model_fn with following signature

predict(input_fn, predict_keys=None, hooks=None, checkpoint_path=None, yield_single_examples=True)[source]¶

Yields predictions for given features.

Please note that interleaving two predict outputs does not work. See: [issue/20506]( https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/issues/20506#issuecomment-422208517)

Parameters:	input_fn – A function that constructs the features. Prediction continues until input_fn raises an end-of-input exception (tf.errors.OutOfRangeError or StopIteration). See [Premade Estimators]( https://tensorflow.org/guide/premade_estimators#create_input_functions) for more information. The function should construct and return one of the following: A tf.data.Dataset object: Outputs of Dataset object must have same constraints as below. features: A tf.Tensor or a dictionary of string feature name to Tensor. features are consumed by model_fn. They should satisfy the expectation of model_fn from inputs. A tuple, in which case the first item is extracted as features. predict_keys – list of str, name of the keys to predict. It is used if the tf.estimator.EstimatorSpec.predictions is a dict. If predict_keys is used then rest of the predictions will be filtered from the dictionary.

Summary¶

class adanet.Summary[source]¶

Interface for writing summaries to Tensorboard.

audio(name, tensor, sample_rate, max_outputs=3, family=None)[source]¶

Outputs a tf.Summary protocol buffer with audio.

The summary has up to max_outputs summary values containing audio. The audio is built from tensor which must be 3-D with shape [batch_size, frames, channels] or 2-D with shape [batch_size, frames]. The values are assumed to be in the range of [-1.0, 1.0] with a sample rate of sample_rate.

The tag in the outputted tf.Summary.Value protobufs is generated based on the name, with a suffix depending on the max_outputs setting:

If max_outputs is 1, the summary value tag is ‘name/audio’.
If max_outputs is greater than 1, the summary value tags are

generated sequentially as ‘name/audio/0’, ‘name/audio/1’, etc

Parameters:

name – A name for the generated node. Will also serve as a series name in TensorBoard.
tensor – A 3-D float32 Tensor of shape [batch_size, frames, channels] or a 2-D float32 Tensor of shape [batch_size, frames].
sample_rate – A Scalar float32 Tensor indicating the sample rate of the signal in hertz.
max_outputs – Max number of batch elements to generate audio for.
family – Optional; if provided, used as the prefix of the summary tag name, which controls the tab name used for display on Tensorboard.

Returns:

A scalar Tensor of type string. The serialized tf.Summary protocol buffer.

histogram(name, values, family=None)[source]¶

Outputs a tf.Summary protocol buffer with a histogram.

Adding a histogram summary makes it possible to visualize your data’s distribution in TensorBoard. You can see a detailed explanation of the TensorBoard histogram dashboard [here](https://www.tensorflow.org/get_started/tensorboard_histograms).

The generated [tf.Summary]( tensorflow/core/framework/summary.proto) has one summary value containing a histogram for values.

This op reports an InvalidArgument error if any value is not finite.

Parameters:	name – A name for the generated node. Will also serve as a series name in TensorBoard. values – A real numeric Tensor. Any shape. Values to use to build the histogram. family – Optional; if provided, used as the prefix of the summary tag name, which controls the tab name used for display on Tensorboard.
Returns:	A scalar Tensor of type string. The serialized tf.Summary protocol buffer.

image(name, tensor, max_outputs=3, family=None)[source]¶

Outputs a tf.Summary protocol buffer with images.

The summary has up to max_outputs summary values containing images. The images are built from tensor which must be 4-D with shape [batch_size, height, width, channels] and where channels can be:

1: tensor is interpreted as Grayscale.
3: tensor is interpreted as RGB.
4: tensor is interpreted as RGBA.

The images have the same number of channels as the input tensor. For float input, the values are normalized one image at a time to fit in the range [0, 255]. uint8 values are unchanged. The op uses two different normalization algorithms:

If the input values are all positive, they are rescaled so the largest

one is 255. * If any input value is negative, the values are shifted so input value 0.0

is at 127. They are then rescaled so that either the smallest value is 0, or the largest one is 255.

The tag in the outputted tf.Summary.Value protobufs is generated based on the name, with a suffix depending on the max_outputs setting:

If max_outputs is 1, the summary value tag is ‘name/image’.
If max_outputs is greater than 1, the summary value tags are

generated sequentially as ‘name/image/0’, ‘name/image/1’, etc.

Parameters:

name – A name for the generated node. Will also serve as a series name in TensorBoard.
tensor – A 4-D uint8 or float32 Tensor of shape [batch_size, height, width, channels] where channels is 1, 3, or 4.
max_outputs – Max number of batch elements to generate images for.
family – Optional; if provided, used as the prefix of the summary tag name, which controls the tab name used for display on Tensorboard.

Returns:

A scalar Tensor of type string. The serialized tf.Summary protocol buffer.

scalar(name, tensor, family=None)[source]¶

Outputs a tf.Summary protocol buffer containing a single scalar value.

The generated tf.Summary has a Tensor.proto containing the input Tensor.

Parameters:	name – A name for the generated node. Will also serve as the series name in TensorBoard. tensor – A real numeric Tensor containing a single value. family – Optional; if provided, used as the prefix of the summary tag name, which controls the tab name used for display on Tensorboard.
Returns:	A scalar Tensor of type string. Which contains a tf.Summary protobuf.
Raises:	`ValueError` – If tensor has the wrong shape or type.

ReportMaterializer¶

Materializes reports.

Specifically it materializes a subnetwork’s adanet.subnetwork.Report instances into adanet.subnetwork.MaterializedReport instances.

Requires an input function input_fn that returns a tuple of:

features: Dictionary of string feature name to Tensor.
labels: Tensor of labels.

Parameters:	input_fn – The input function. steps – Number of steps for which to materialize the ensembles. If an OutOfRangeError occurs, materialization stops. If set to None, will iterate the dataset until all inputs are exhausted.
Returns:	A ReportMaterializer instance.

input_fn¶

Returns the input_fn that materialize_subnetwork_reports would run on.

Even though this property appears to be unused, it would be used to build the AdaNet model graph inside AdaNet estimator.train(). After the graph is built, the queue_runners are started and the initializers are run, AdaNet estimator.train() passes its tf.Session as an argument to materialize_subnetwork_reports(), thus indirectly making input_fn available to materialize_subnetwork_reports.

materialize_subnetwork_reports(sess, iteration_number, subnetwork_reports, included_subnetwork_names)[source]¶

Materializes the Tensor objects in subnetwork_reports using sess.

This converts the Tensors in subnetwork_reports to ndarrays, logs the progress, converts the ndarrays to python primitives, then packages them into adanet.subnetwork.MaterializedReports.

Parameters:	sess – Session instance with most recent variable values loaded. iteration_number – Integer iteration number. subnetwork_reports – Dict mapping string names to subnetwork.Report objects to be materialized. included_subnetwork_names – List of string names of the `subnetwork.Report`s that are included in the final ensemble.
