Experimenting with autoregressive flows in TensorFlow Likelihood



Experimenting with autoregressive flows in TensorFlow Likelihood

Within the first a part of this mini-series on autoregressive movement fashions, we checked out bijectors in TensorFlow Likelihood (TFP), and noticed how you can use them for sampling and density estimation. We singled out the affine bijector to reveal the mechanics of movement development: We begin from a distribution that’s simple to pattern from, and that enables for easy calculation of its density. Then, we connect some variety of invertible transformations, optimizing for data-likelihood beneath the ultimate remodeled distribution. The effectivity of that (log)chance calculation is the place normalizing flows excel: Loglikelihood beneath the (unknown) goal distribution is obtained as a sum of the density beneath the bottom distribution of the inverse-transformed information plus absolutely the log determinant of the inverse Jacobian.

Now, an affine movement will seldom be highly effective sufficient to mannequin nonlinear, advanced transformations. In constrast, autoregressive fashions have proven substantive success in density estimation in addition to pattern era. Mixed with extra concerned architectures, function engineering, and intensive compute, the idea of autoregressivity has powered – and is powering – state-of-the-art architectures in areas comparable to picture, speech and video modeling.

This publish might be involved with the constructing blocks of autoregressive flows in TFP. Whereas we gained’t precisely be constructing state-of-the-art fashions, we’ll attempt to perceive and play with some main components, hopefully enabling the reader to do her personal experiments on her personal information.

This publish has three elements: First, we’ll take a look at autoregressivity and its implementation in TFP. Then, we attempt to (roughly) reproduce one of many experiments within the “MAF paper” (Masked Autoregressive Flows for Distribution Estimation (Papamakarios, Pavlakou, and Murray 2017)) – primarily a proof of idea. Lastly, for the third time on this weblog, we come again to the duty of analysing audio information, with combined outcomes.

Autoregressivity and masking

In distribution estimation, autoregressivity enters the scene by way of the chain rule of chance that decomposes a joint density right into a product of conditional densities:

[
p(mathbf{x}) = prod_{i}p(mathbf{x}_i|mathbf{x}_{1:i−1})
]

In follow, which means that autoregressive fashions must impose an order on the variables – an order which could or won’t “make sense.” Approaches right here embody selecting orderings at random and/or utilizing totally different orderings for every layer.
Whereas in recurrent neural networks, autoregressivity is conserved because of the recurrence relation inherent in state updating, it’s not clear a priori how autoregressivity is to be achieved in a densely linked structure. A computationally environment friendly answer was proposed in MADE: Masked Autoencoder for Distribution Estimation(Germain et al. 2015): Ranging from a densely linked layer, masks out all connections that shouldn’t be allowed, i.e., all connections from enter function (i) to stated layer’s activations (1 … i-1). Or expressed otherwise, activation (i) could also be linked to enter options (1 … i-1) solely. Then when including extra layers, care have to be taken to make sure that all required connections are masked in order that on the finish, output (i) will solely ever have seen inputs (1 … i-1).

Thus masked autoregressive flows are a fusion of two main approaches – autoregressive fashions (which needn’t be flows) and flows (which needn’t be autoregressive). In TFP these are supplied by MaskedAutoregressiveFlow, for use as a bijector in a TransformedDistribution.

Whereas the documentation exhibits how you can use this bijector, the step from theoretical understanding to coding a “black field” could seem huge. If you happen to’re something just like the writer, right here you would possibly really feel the urge to “look beneath the hood” and confirm that issues actually are the best way you’re assuming. So let’s give in to curiosity and permit ourselves just a little escapade into the supply code.

Peeking forward, that is how we’ll assemble a masked autoregressive movement in TFP (once more utilizing the nonetheless new-ish R bindings supplied by tfprobability):

library(tfprobability)

maf <- tfb_masked_autoregressive_flow(
    shift_and_log_scale_fn = tfb_masked_autoregressive_default_template(
      hidden_layers = checklist(num_hidden, num_hidden),
      activation = tf$nn$tanh)
)

Pulling aside the related entities right here, tfb_masked_autoregressive_flow is a bijector, with the standard strategies tfb_forward(), tfb_inverse(), tfb_forward_log_det_jacobian() and tfb_inverse_log_det_jacobian().
The default shift_and_log_scale_fn, tfb_masked_autoregressive_default_template, constructs just a little neural community of its personal, with a configurable variety of hidden models per layer, a configurable activation operate and optionally, different configurable parameters to be handed to the underlying dense layers. It’s these dense layers that must respect the autoregressive property. Can we check out how that is performed? Sure we will, supplied we’re not afraid of just a little Python.

masked_autoregressive_default_template (now leaving out the tfb_ as we’ve entered Python-land) makes use of masked_dense to do what you’d suppose a thus-named operate could be doing: assemble a dense layer that has a part of the burden matrix masked out. How? We’ll see after just a few Python setup statements.

present kind on grasp), and when attainable, simplified for higher readability, accommodating simply the specifics of the chosen instance – a toy matrix of form 2×3:

Papamakarios, Pavlakou, and Murray 2017) applied masked autoregressive flows (as well as single-layer-MADE(Germain et al. 2015) and Real NVP (Dinh, Sohl-Dickstein, and Bengio 2016)) to a number of datasets, including MNIST, CIFAR-10 and several datasets from the UCI Machine Learning Repository.

We pick one of the UCI datasets: Gas sensors for home activity monitoring. On this dataset, the MAF authors obtained the best results using a MAF with 10 flows, so this is what we will try.

Collecting information from the paper, we know that

  • data was included from the file ethylene_CO.txt only;
  • discrete columns were eliminated, as well as all columns with correlations > .98; and
  • the remaining 8 columns were standardised (z-transformed).

Regarding the neural network architecture, we gather that

  • each of the 10 MAF layers was followed by a batchnorm;
  • as to feature order, the first MAF layer used the variable order that came with the dataset; then every consecutive layer reversed it;
  • specifically for this dataset and as opposed to all other UCI datasets, tanh was used for activation instead of relu;
  • the Adam optimizer was used, with a learning rate of 1e-4;
  • there were two hidden layers for each MAF, with 100 units each;
  • training went on until no improvement occurred for 30 consecutive epochs on the validation set; and
  • the base distribution was a multivariate Gaussian.

This is all useful information for our attempt to estimate this dataset, but the essential bit is this. In case you knew the dataset already, you might have been wondering how the authors would deal with the dimensionality of the data: It is a time series, and the MADE architecture explored above introduces autoregressivity between features, not time steps. So how is the additional temporal autoregressivity to be handled? The answer is: The time dimension is essentially removed. In the authors’ words,

[…] it’s a time collection however was handled as if every instance had been an i.i.d. pattern from the marginal distribution.

This undoubtedly is helpful info for our current modeling try, nevertheless it additionally tells us one thing else: We’d must look past MADE layers for precise time collection modeling.

Now although let’s take a look at this instance of utilizing MAF for multivariate modeling, with no time or spatial dimension to be taken into consideration.

Following the hints the authors gave us, that is what we do.

# … with 4,208,251 extra rows

Now arrange the information era course of:

# train-test break up
n_rows <- nrow(df2) # 4208261
train_ids <- pattern(1:n_rows, 0.5 * n_rows)
x_train <- df2[train_ids, ]
x_test <- df2[-train_ids, ]

# create datasets
batch_size <- 100
train_dataset <- tf$solid(x_train, tf$float32) %>%
  tensor_slices_dataset %>%
  dataset_batch(batch_size)

test_dataset <- tf$solid(x_test, tf$float32) %>%
  tensor_slices_dataset %>%
  dataset_batch(nrow(x_test))

To assemble the movement, the very first thing wanted is the bottom distribution.

base_dist <- tfd_multivariate_normal_diag(loc = rep(0, ncol(df2)))

Now for the movement, by default constructed with batchnorm and permutation of function order.

num_hidden <- 100
dim <- ncol(df2)

use_batchnorm <- TRUE
use_permute <- TRUE
num_mafs <-10
num_layers <- 3 * num_mafs

bijectors <- vector(mode = "checklist", size = num_layers)

for (i in seq(1, num_layers, by = 3)) {
  maf <- tfb_masked_autoregressive_flow(
    shift_and_log_scale_fn = tfb_masked_autoregressive_default_template(
      hidden_layers = checklist(num_hidden, num_hidden),
      activation = tf$nn$tanh))
  bijectors[[i]] <- maf
  if (use_batchnorm)
    bijectors[[i + 1]] <- tfb_batch_normalization()
  if (use_permute)
    bijectors[[i + 2]] <- tfb_permute((ncol(df2) - 1):0)
}

if (use_permute) bijectors <- bijectors[-num_layers]

movement <- bijectors %>%
  discard(is.null) %>%
  # tfb_chain expects arguments in reverse order of utility
  rev() %>%
  tfb_chain()

target_dist <- tfd_transformed_distribution(
  distribution = base_dist,
  bijector = movement
)

And configuring the optimizer:

optimizer <- tf$practice$AdamOptimizer(1e-4)

Beneath that isotropic Gaussian we selected as a base distribution, how seemingly are the information?

base_loglik <- base_dist %>% 
  tfd_log_prob(x_train) %>% 
  tf$reduce_mean()
base_loglik %>% as.numeric()        # -11.33871

base_loglik_test <- base_dist %>% 
  tfd_log_prob(x_test) %>% 
  tf$reduce_mean()
base_loglik_test %>% as.numeric()   # -11.36431

And, simply as a fast sanity verify: What’s the loglikelihood of the information beneath the remodeled distribution earlier than any coaching?

target_loglik_pre <-
  target_dist %>% tfd_log_prob(x_train) %>% tf$reduce_mean()
target_loglik_pre %>% as.numeric()        # -11.22097

target_loglik_pre_test <-
  target_dist %>% tfd_log_prob(x_test) %>% tf$reduce_mean()
target_loglik_pre_test %>% as.numeric()   # -11.36431

The values match – good. Right here now could be the coaching loop. Being impatient, we already preserve checking the loglikelihood on the (full) take a look at set to see if we’re making any progress.

n_epochs <- 10

for (i in 1:n_epochs) {
  
  agg_loglik <- 0
  num_batches <- 0
  iter <- make_iterator_one_shot(train_dataset)
  
  until_out_of_range({
    batch <- iterator_get_next(iter)
    loss <-
      operate()
        - tf$reduce_mean(target_dist %>% tfd_log_prob(batch))
    optimizer$decrease(loss)
    
    loglik <- tf$reduce_mean(target_dist %>% tfd_log_prob(batch))
    agg_loglik <- agg_loglik + loglik
    num_batches <- num_batches + 1
    
    test_iter <- make_iterator_one_shot(test_dataset)
    test_batch <- iterator_get_next(test_iter)
    loglik_test_current <- target_dist %>% tfd_log_prob(test_batch) %>% tf$reduce_mean()
    
    if (num_batches %% 100 == 1)
      cat(
        "Epoch ",
        i,
        ": ",
        "Batch ",
        num_batches,
        ": ",
        (agg_loglik %>% as.numeric()) / num_batches,
        " --- take a look at: ",
        loglik_test_current %>% as.numeric(),
        "n"
      )
  })
}

With each coaching and take a look at units amounting to over 2 million information every, we didn’t have the persistence to run this mannequin till no enchancment occurred for 30 consecutive epochs on the validation set (just like the authors did). Nevertheless, the image we get from one full epoch’s run is fairly clear: The setup appears to work fairly okay.

With these coaching outcomes, we regard the proof of idea as mainly profitable. Nevertheless, from our experiments we additionally must say that the selection of hyperparameters appears to matter a lot. For instance, use of the relu activation operate as an alternative of tanh resulted within the community mainly studying nothing. (As per the authors, relu labored high-quality on different datasets that had been z-transformed in simply the identical method.)

Batch normalization right here was compulsory – and this would possibly go for flows typically. The permutation bijectors, alternatively, didn’t make a lot of a distinction on this dataset. Total the impression is that for flows, we would both want a “bag of methods” (like is often stated about GANs), or extra concerned architectures (see “Outlook” under).

Lastly, we wind up with an experiment, coming again to our favourite audio information, already featured in two posts: Easy Audio Classification with Keras and Audio classification with Keras: Trying nearer on the non-deep studying elements.

Analysing audio information with MAF

The dataset in query consists of recordings of 30 phrases, pronounced by various totally different audio system. In these earlier posts, a convnet was skilled to map spectrograms to these 30 lessons. Now as an alternative we need to strive one thing totally different: Practice an MAF on one of many lessons – the phrase “zero,” say – and see if we will use the skilled community to mark “non-zero” phrases as much less seemingly: carry out anomaly detection, in a method. Spoiler alert: The outcomes weren’t too encouraging, and if you’re concerned with a job like this, you would possibly need to think about a distinct structure (once more, see “Outlook” under).

Nonetheless, we shortly relate what was performed, as this job is a pleasant instance of dealing with information the place options fluctuate over multiple axis.

Preprocessing begins as within the aforementioned earlier posts. Right here although, we explicitly use keen execution, and will generally hard-code identified values to maintain the code snippets brief.

Audio classification with Keras: Trying nearer on the non-deep studying elements, we’d like to coach the community on spectrograms as an alternative of the uncooked time area information.
Utilizing the identical settings for frame_length and frame_step of the Brief Time period Fourier Rework as in that publish, we’d arrive at information formed variety of frames x variety of FFT coefficients. To make this work with the masked_dense() employed in tfb_masked_autoregressive_flow(), the information would then must be flattened, yielding a powerful 25186 options within the joint distribution.

With the structure outlined as above within the GAS instance, this result in the community not making a lot progress. Neither did leaving the information in time area kind, with 16000 options within the joint distribution. Thus, we determined to work with the FFT coefficients computed over the entire window as an alternative, leading to 257 joint options.

Throughout coaching, we additionally monitored loglikelihoods on three totally different lessons, cat, chicken and wow. Listed here are the loglikelihoods from the primary 10 epochs. “Batch” refers back to the present coaching batch (first batch within the epoch), all different values refer to finish datasets (the entire take a look at set and the three units chosen for comparability).

Whereas this doesn’t look too unhealthy, a whole comparability towards all twenty-nine non-target lessons had “zero” outperformed by seven different lessons, with the remaining twenty-two decrease in loglikelihood. We don’t have a mannequin for anomaly detection, as but.

Outlook

As already alluded to a number of occasions, for information with temporal and/or spatial orderings extra developed architectures could show helpful. The very profitable PixelCNN household relies on masked convolutions, with newer developments bringing additional refinements (e.g. Gated PixelCNN (Oord et al. 2016), PixelCNN++ (Salimans et al. 2017). Consideration, too, could also be masked and thus rendered autoregressive, as employed within the hybrid PixelSNAIL (Chen et al. 2017) and the – not surprisingly given its title – transformer-based ImageTransformer (Parmar et al. 2018).

To conclude, – whereas this publish was within the intersection of flows and autoregressivity – and final not least the use therein of TFP bijectors – an upcoming one would possibly dive deeper into autoregressive fashions particularly… and who is aware of, maybe come again to the audio information for a fourth time.
