问题
I am trying to do some vanilla pattern recognition with an LSTM using Keras to predict the next element in a sequence.
My data look like this:
where the label of the training sequence is the last element in the list: X_train['Sequence'][n][-1].
Because my Sequence column can have a variable number of elements in the sequence, I believe an RNN to be the best model to use. Below is my attempt to build an LSTM in Keras:
# Build the model
# A few arbitrary constants...
max_features = 20000
out_size = 128
# The max length should be the length of the longest sequence (minus one to account for the label)
max_length = X_train['Sequence'].apply(len).max() - 1
# Normal LSTM model construction with sigmoid activation
model = Sequential()
model.add(Embedding(max_features, out_size, input_length=max_length, dropout=0.2))
model.add(LSTM(128, dropout_W=0.2, dropout_U=0.2))
model.add(Dense(1))
model.add(Activation('sigmoid'))
# try using different optimizers and different optimizer configs
model.compile(loss='binary_crossentropy', optimizer='adam', metrics=['accuracy'])
And here's how I attempt to train my model:
# Train the model
for seq in X_train['Sequence']:
print("Length of training is {0}".format(len(seq[:-1])))
print("Training set is {0}".format(seq[:-1]))
model.fit(np.array([seq[:-1]]), [seq[-1]])
My output is this:
Length of training is 13
Training set is [1, 3, 13, 87, 1053, 28576, 2141733, 508147108, 402135275365, 1073376057490373, 9700385489355970183, 298434346895322960005291, 31479360095907908092817694945]
However, I get the following error:
Exception: Error when checking model input: expected embedding_input_1 to have shape (None, 347) but got array with shape (1, 13)
I believe my training step is correctly setup, so my model construction must be wrong. Note that 347 is max_length.
How can I correctly build a variable-length input LSTM in Keras? I'd prefer not to pad the data. Not sure if it's relevant, but I'm using the Theano backend.
回答1:
I am not clear about the embedding procedure. But still here is a way to implement a variable-length input LSTM. Just do not specify the timespan dimension when building LSTM.
import keras.backend as K
from keras.layers import LSTM, Input
I = Input(shape=(None, 200)) # unknown timespan, fixed feature size
lstm = LSTM(20)
f = K.function(inputs=[I], outputs=[lstm(I)])
import numpy as np
data1 = np.random.random(size=(1, 100, 200)) # batch_size = 1, timespan = 100
print f([data1])[0].shape
# (1, 20)
data2 = np.random.random(size=(1, 314, 200)) # batch_size = 1, timespan = 314
print f([data2])[0].shape
# (1, 20)

The trick to training and classifying sequences is training with masking and classifying using a stateful network. Here's an example that I made that classifies whether a sequence of variable length starts with zero or not.
import numpy as np
np.random.seed(1)
import tensorflow as tf
tf.set_random_seed(1)
from keras import models

hidden_units = 256

model.compile(loss='binary_crossentropy', optimizer='rmsprop')

epochs = 10
batch_size = 200
vec_dims = 1
hidden_units = 256
in_shape = (max_len, vec_dims)
model = models.Sequential()
model.add(Masking(mask, name="in_layer", input_shape=in_shape,))
model.add(LSTM(hidden_units, return_sequences=False))
model.add(Dense(1, activation='relu', name='output'))
model.compile(loss='binary_crossentropy', optimizer='rmsprop')
model.fit(x_train, y_train, batch_size=batch_size, epochs=epochs,

sig = np.zeros((num_examples, max_t), dtype=np.int8)
sig[one_indices, 0] = 1
sig[:, t_stop:] = mask
x.append(sig)
cls = np.zeros(num_examples, dtype=np.bool)
cls[one_indices] = 1
y.append(cls)
return np.concatenate(x, axis=0), np.concatenate(y, axis=0)

Not sure how applicable recurrent networks are for your sequences, ie how strongly dependent each element is on its preceding sequence as opposed to other factors. That being said (which doesn't help you one bit of course), if you don't want to pad your input with some bad value, a stateful model that processes a single timestep at once is the only alternative for variable length sequences IMHO. If you don't mind taking an alternative approach to encoding:
import numpy as np
import keras.models as kem
import keras.layers as kel
import keras.callbacks as kec
import sklearn.preprocessing as skprep
X_train, max_features = {'Sequence': [[1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16], [1, 2, 1, 5, 5, 1, 11, 16, 7]]}, 16
num_mem_units = 64
size_batch = 1
num_timesteps = 1
num_features = 1
num_targets = 1
num_epochs = 1500
model = kem.Sequential()
model.add(kel.LSTM(num_mem_units, stateful=True, batch_input_shape=(size_batch, num_timesteps, num_features),
return_sequences=True))
model.add(kel.Dense(num_targets, activation='sigmoid'))
model.summary()
model.compile(loss='binary_crossentropy', optimizer='adam')
range_act = (0, 1) # sigmoid
range_features = np.array([0, max_features]).reshape(-1, 1)
normalizer = skprep.MinMaxScaler(feature_range=range_act)
normalizer.fit(range_features)
reset_state = kec.LambdaCallback(on_epoch_end=lambda *_ : model.reset_states())
# training
for seq in X_train['Sequence']:
X = seq[:-1]
y = seq[1:] # predict next element
X_norm = normalizer.transform(np.array(X).reshape(-1, 1)).reshape(-1, num_timesteps, num_features)
y_norm = normalizer.transform(np.array(y).reshape(-1, 1)).reshape(-1, num_timesteps, num_targets)
model.fit(X_norm, y_norm, epochs=num_epochs, batch_size=size_batch, shuffle=False,
callbacks=[reset_state])
# prediction
for seq in X_train['Sequence']:
model.reset_states()
for istep in range(len(seq)-1): # input up to not incl last
val = seq[istep]
X = np.array([val]).reshape(-1, 1)
X_norm = normalizer.transform(X).reshape(-1, num_timesteps, num_features)
y_norm = model.predict(X_norm)
yhat = int(normalizer.inverse_transform(y_norm[0])[0, 0])
y = seq[-1] # last
put = '{0} predicts {1:d}, expecting {2:d}'.format(', '.join(str(val) for val in seq[:-1]), yhat, y)
print(put)
which produces sth like:
1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10 predicts 11, expecting 16
1, 2, 1, 5, 5, 1, 11, 16 predicts 7, expecting 7
with ridiculous loss, however.
