如何正确组合TensorFlow的数据集API和Keras？

Question

Keras的fit_generator()模型方法期望生成器生成形状（输入，目标）的元组，其中两个元素都是NumPy数组。该文档似乎暗示，如果我将Dataset迭代器简单地包装在生成器中，并确保将Tensors转换为NumPy数组，那我应该很好。这段代码给我一个错误：

import numpy as np
import os
import keras.backend as K
from keras.layers import Dense, Input
from keras.models import Model
import tensorflow as tf
from tensorflow.contrib.data import Dataset

os.environ['TF_CPP_MIN_LOG_LEVEL'] = '3'

with tf.Session() as sess:
    def create_data_generator():
        dat1 = np.arange(4).reshape(-1, 1)
        ds1 = Dataset.from_tensor_slices(dat1).repeat()

        dat2 = np.arange(5, 9).reshape(-1, 1)
        ds2 = Dataset.from_tensor_slices(dat2).repeat()

        ds = Dataset.zip((ds1, ds2)).batch(4)
        iterator = ds.make_one_shot_iterator()
        while True:
            next_val = iterator.get_next()
            yield sess.run(next_val)

datagen = create_data_generator()

input_vals = Input(shape=(1,))
output = Dense(1, activation='relu')(input_vals)
model = Model(inputs=input_vals, outputs=output)
model.compile('rmsprop', 'mean_squared_error')
model.fit_generator(datagen, steps_per_epoch=1, epochs=5,
                    verbose=2, max_queue_size=2)

这是我得到的错误：

奇怪的是，next(datagen)在我初始化的位置之后直接添加包含一行datagen的代码会使代码运行正常，没有错误。

为什么我的原始代码不起作用？当我在代码中添加该行时，为什么它开始起作用？是否有更有效的方式将TensorFlow的Dataset API与Keras结合使用，而无需将Tensors转换为NumPy数组然后再次返回？

Answer 1

确实有一种更有效的使用方法，Dataset而不必将张量转换为numpy数组。但是，官方文档上还没有（尚未？）。在发行说明中，它是Keras 2.0.7中引入的功能。您可能需要安装keras> = 2.0.7才能使用它。

x = np.arange(4).reshape(-1, 1).astype('float32')
ds_x = Dataset.from_tensor_slices(x).repeat().batch(4)
it_x = ds_x.make_one_shot_iterator()

y = np.arange(5, 9).reshape(-1, 1).astype('float32')
ds_y = Dataset.from_tensor_slices(y).repeat().batch(4)
it_y = ds_y.make_one_shot_iterator()

input_vals = Input(tensor=it_x.get_next())
output = Dense(1, activation='relu')(input_vals)
model = Model(inputs=input_vals, outputs=output)
model.compile('rmsprop', 'mse', target_tensors=[it_y.get_next()])
model.fit(steps_per_epoch=1, epochs=5, verbose=2)

几个区别：

1. 将tensor参数提供给该Input层。Keras将从该张量读取值，并将其用作拟合模型的输入。
2. 将target_tensors论据提供给Model.compile()。
3. 请记住将x和y都转换为float32。在正常使用情况下，Keras将为您完成此转换。但是现在您必须自己做。
4. 批处理大小是在构建时指定的Dataset。使用steps_per_epoch和epochs控制何时停止模型拟合。
   总之，使用Input(tensor=...)，model.compile(target_tensors=...)并且model.fit(x=None, y=None, ...)如果你的数据是从张量读取。
