Part VI: Beyond Deep Learning (this article)

In addition to deep learning, TensorFlow provides a high-level machine leaning api: TF Learn, which makes it easy to configure, train and evaluate machine learning models. TF Learn is a simplified interface for TensorFlow, to get people started on predictive analytics and data mining. The API covers a variety of needs: from linear models to Deep Learning applications like text and image understanding.

Why TensorFlow Learn?

To smooth the transition from the scikit-learn world of one-liner machine learning into the more open world of building different shapes of ML models. You can start by using fit/predict and slide into TensorFlow APIs as you are getting comfortable.

To provide a set of reference models that will be easy to integrate with existing code.

Learning from Small Data

Iris flower data set is a small data, but it’s perhaps the best known data set in the machine learning history:

The Iris flower data set or Fisher’s Iris data set is a multivariate data set introduced by Ronald Fisher in his 1936 paper The use of multiple measurements in taxonomic problems as an example of linear discriminant analysis. It is sometimes called Anderson’s Iris data set because Edgar Anderson collected the data to quantify the morphologic variation of Iris flowers of three related species. Two of the three species were collected in the GaspĂ© Peninsula “all from the same pasture, and picked on the same day and measured at the same time by the same person with the same apparatus”.

The data set consists of 50 samples from each of three species of Iris (Iris setosa, Iris virginica and Iris versicolor). Four features were measured from each sample: the length and the width of the sepals and petals, in centimetres. Based on the combination of these four features, Fisher developed a linear discriminant model to distinguish the species from each other.

Here is a picture to describe the iris data from “PCA example with Iris Data-set“:

Based on the scikit-learn, we can load the iris data quickly and train a linear classifier by TF Learn:

The famous Iris database, first used by Sir R.A Fisher
 
This is perhaps the best known database to be found in the
pattern recognition literature.  Fisher paper is a classic in the field and
is referenced frequently to this day.  (See Duda & Hart, for example.)  The
data set contains 3 classes of 50 instances each, where each class refers to a
type of iris plant.  One class is linearly separable from the other 2; the
latter are NOT linearly separable from each other.

Construct a Deep Neural Network Classifier

We can continue use DNNClassifier in TF Learn to learning a deep neural network classifier:

# Build 3 layer DNN with 10, 20, 10 units respectively.
In [38]: dnn_classifier = tf.contrib.learn.DNNClassifier(feature_columns=feature_columns,
   ....: hidden_units=[10, 20, 10], n_classes=3, model_dir="./tmp/iris_dnn_model")
 
In [39]: dnn_classifier.fit(x=iris_X_train, y=iris_y_train, steps=2000)
Out[39]: Estimator(params={'enable_centered_bias': True, 'activation_fn': <function relu at 0x114b4c5f0>, 'weight_column_name': None, 'hidden_units': [10, 20, 10], 'feature_columns': [_RealValuedColumn(column_name='', dimension=4, default_value=None, dtype=tf.float64, normalizer=None)], 'n_classes': 3, 'optimizer': 'Adagrad', 'dropout': None, 'gradient_clip_norm': None, 'num_ps_replicas': 0})
 
In [40]: accuracy_score = dnn_classifier.evaluate(x=iris_X_test, y=iris_y_test)["accuracy"]
 
In [41]: print("Accuracy: {0:f}".format(accuracy_score))
Accuracy: 0.966667

It seems that dnn classifier got a better accuracy result for iris test data. Now we can use the classifier model to estimate any new data:

In [43]: new_samples = np.array(
   ....: [[6.4, 3.2, 4.5, 1.5], [5.8, 3.1, 5.0, 1.7]], dtype=float)
 
In [44]: y = list(dnn_classifier.predict(new_samples, as_iterable=True))
 
In [45]: print('Predictions:{}'.format(str(y)))
Predictions:[array([1]), array([2])]
 
In [46]: y = list(linear_classifier.predict(new_samples, as_iterable=True))
 
In [48]: print('Predictions:{}'.format(str(y)))
Predictions:[1, 2]
