tf.contrib.learn.DNNLinearCombinedClassifier

Class DNNLinearCombinedClassifier

Inherits From: Estimator

Defined in tensorflow/contrib/learn/python/learn/estimators/dnn_linear_combined.py.

A classifier for TensorFlow Linear and DNN joined training models.

THIS CLASS IS DEPRECATED. See contrib/learn/README.md for general migration instructions.

Example:

sparse_feature_a = sparse_column_with_hash_bucket(...)
sparse_feature_b = sparse_column_with_hash_bucket(...)

sparse_feature_a_x_sparse_feature_b = crossed_column(...)

sparse_feature_a_emb = embedding_column(sparse_id_column=sparse_feature_a,
                                        ...)
sparse_feature_b_emb = embedding_column(sparse_id_column=sparse_feature_b,
                                        ...)

estimator = DNNLinearCombinedClassifier(
    # common settings
    n_classes=n_classes,
    weight_column_name=weight_column_name,
    # wide settings
    linear_feature_columns=[sparse_feature_a_x_sparse_feature_b],
    linear_optimizer=tf.train.FtrlOptimizer(...),
    # deep settings
    dnn_feature_columns=[sparse_feature_a_emb, sparse_feature_b_emb],
    dnn_hidden_units=[1000, 500, 100],
    dnn_optimizer=tf.train.AdagradOptimizer(...))

# Input builders
def input_fn_train: # returns x, y (where y represents label's class index).
  ...
def input_fn_eval: # returns x, y (where y represents label's class index).
  ...
def input_fn_predict: # returns x, None.
  ...
estimator.fit(input_fn=input_fn_train)
estimator.evaluate(input_fn=input_fn_eval)
# predict_classes returns class indices.
estimator.predict_classes(input_fn=input_fn_predict)

If the user specifies label_keys in constructor, labels must be strings from the label_keys vocabulary. Example:

label_keys = ['label0', 'label1', 'label2']
estimator = DNNLinearCombinedClassifier(
    n_classes=n_classes,
    linear_feature_columns=[sparse_feature_a_x_sparse_feature_b],
    dnn_feature_columns=[sparse_feature_a_emb, sparse_feature_b_emb],
    dnn_hidden_units=[1000, 500, 100],
    label_keys=label_keys)

def input_fn_train: # returns x, y (where y is one of label_keys).
  pass
estimator.fit(input_fn=input_fn_train)

def input_fn_eval: # returns x, y (where y is one of label_keys).
  pass
estimator.evaluate(input_fn=input_fn_eval)
def input_fn_predict: # returns x, None
# predict_classes returns one of label_keys.
estimator.predict_classes(input_fn=input_fn_predict)

Input of fit and evaluate should have following features, otherwise there will be a KeyError:

  • if weight_column_name is not None, a feature with key=weight_column_name whose value is a Tensor.
  • for each column in dnn_feature_columns + linear_feature_columns:
    • if column is a SparseColumn, a feature with key=column.name whose value is a SparseTensor.
    • if column is a WeightedSparseColumn, two features: the first with key the id column name, the second with key the weight column name. Both features' value must be a SparseTensor.
    • if column is a RealValuedColumn, a feature withkey=column.namewhosevalueis aTensor`.

Constructs a DNNLinearCombinedClassifier instance. (deprecated argument values)

Args:

  • 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.
  • n_classes: number of label classes. Default is binary classification. Note that class labels are integers representing the class index (i.e. values from 0 to n_classes-1). For arbitrary label values (e.g. string labels), convert to class indices first.
  • weight_column_name: A string defining feature column name representing weights. It is used to down weight or boost examples during training. It will be multiplied by the loss of the example.
  • linear_feature_columns: An iterable containing all the feature columns used by linear part of the model. All items in the set must be instances of classes derived from FeatureColumn.
  • linear_optimizer: An instance of tf.Optimizer used to apply gradients to the linear part of the model. If None, will use a FTRL optimizer.
  • _joint_linear_weights: If True a single (possibly partitioned) variable will be used to store the linear model weights. It's faster, but requires all columns are sparse and have the 'sum' combiner.
  • dnn_feature_columns: An iterable containing all the feature columns used by deep part of the model. All items in the set must be instances of classes derived from FeatureColumn.
  • dnn_optimizer: An instance of tf.Optimizer used to apply gradients to the deep part of the model. If None, will use an Adagrad optimizer.
  • dnn_hidden_units: List of hidden units per layer. All layers are fully connected.
  • dnn_activation_fn: Activation function applied to each layer. If None, will use tf.nn.relu.
  • dnn_dropout: When not None, the probability we will drop out a given coordinate.
  • gradient_clip_norm: A float > 0. If provided, gradients are clipped to their global norm with this clipping ratio. See tf.clip_by_global_norm for more details.
  • enable_centered_bias: A bool. If True, estimator will learn a centered bias variable for each class. Rest of the model structure learns the residual after centered bias.
  • config: RunConfig object to configure the runtime settings.
  • feature_engineering_fn: Feature engineering function. Takes features and labels which are the output of input_fn and returns features and labels which will be fed into the model.
  • embedding_lr_multipliers: Optional. A dictionary from EmbeddingColumn to a float multiplier. Multiplier will be used to multiply with learning rate for the embedding variables.
  • input_layer_min_slice_size: Optional. The min slice size of input layer partitions. If not provided, will use the default of 64M.
  • label_keys: Optional list of strings with size [n_classes] defining the label vocabulary. Only supported for n_classes > 2.
  • fix_global_step_increment_bug: If False, the estimator needs two fit steps to optimize both linear and dnn parts. If True, this bug is fixed. New users must set this to True, but it the default value is False for backwards compatibility.

Raises:

  • ValueError: If n_classes < 2.
  • ValueError: If both linear_feature_columns and dnn_features_columns are empty at the same time.

Exports inference graph as a SavedModel into given dir.

Args:

  • export_dir_base: A string containing a directory to write the exported graph and checkpoints.
  • serving_input_fn: A function that takes no argument and returns an InputFnOps.
  • default_output_alternative_key: the name of the head to serve when none is specified. Not needed for single-headed models.
  • assets_extra: A dict specifying how to populate the assets.extra directory within the exported SavedModel. Each key should give the 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.

Incremental fit on a batch of samples. (deprecated arguments)

This method is expected to be called several times consecutively on different or the same chunks of the dataset. This either can implement iterative training or out-of-core/online training.

This is especially useful when the whole dataset is too big to fit in memory at the same time. Or when model is taking long time to converge, and you want to split up training into subparts.

Args:

  • x: Matrix of shape [n_samples, n_features...]. Can be iterator that returns arrays of features. The training input samples for fitting the model. If set, input_fn must be None.
  • y: Vector or matrix [n_samples] or [n_samples, n_outputs]. Can be iterator that returns array of labels. The training label values (class labels in classification, real numbers in regression). If set, input_fn must be None.
  • input_fn: Input function. If set, x, y, and batch_size must be None.
  • steps: Number of steps for which to train model. If None, train forever.
  • batch_size: minibatch size to use on the input, defaults to first dimension of x. Must be None if input_fn is provided.
  • monitors: List of BaseMonitor subclass instances. Used for callbacks inside the training loop.

Returns:

self, for chaining.

Raises:

  • ValueError: If at least one of x and y is provided, and input_fn is provided.

Args:

  • x: features.
  • input_fn: Input function. If set, x must be None.
  • batch_size: Override default batch size.
  • outputs: list of str, name of the output to predict. If None, returns classes.

Returns:

Numpy array of predicted classes with shape batch_size. Each predicted class is represented by its class index (i.e. integer from 0 to n_classes-1). If outputs is set, returns a dict of predictions.
