Convert tf_dataset to an iterator that yields R arrays.

Description

Convert tf_dataset to an iterator that yields R arrays.

Usage

as_array_iterator(dataset)

Arguments

dataset

A tensorflow dataset

Value

An iterable. Use iterate() or iter_next() to access values from the iterator.


Get the single element of the dataset.

Description

The function enables you to use a TF Dataset in a stateless "tensor-in tensor-out" expression, without creating an iterator. This facilitates the ease of data transformation on tensors using the optimized TF Dataset abstraction on top of them.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'tensorflow.python.data.ops.dataset_ops.DatasetV2'
as_tensor(x, ..., name = NULL)

## S3 method for class 'tensorflow.python.data.ops.dataset_ops.DatasetV2'
as.array(x, ...)

Arguments

x

A TF Dataset

...

passed on to tensorflow::as_tensor()

name

(Optional.) A name for the TensorFlow operation.

Details

For example, consider a preprocess_batch() which would take as an input a batch of raw features and returns the processed feature.

preprocess_one_case <- function(x) x + 100

preprocess_batch   <- function(raw_features) {
  batch_size <- dim(raw_features)[1]
  ds <- raw_features %>%
    tensor_slices_dataset() %>%
    dataset_map(preprocess_one_case, num_parallel_calls = batch_size) %>%
    dataset_batch(batch_size)
  as_tensor(ds)
}

raw_features <- array(seq(prod(4, 5)), c(4, 5))
preprocess_batch(raw_features)

In the above example, the batch of raw_features was converted to a TF Dataset. Next, each of the raw_feature cases in the batch was mapped using the preprocess_one_case and the processed features were grouped into a single batch. The final dataset contains only one element which is a batch of all the processed features.

Note: The dataset should contain only one element. Now, instead of creating an iterator for the dataset and retrieving the batch of features, the as_tensor() function is used to skip the iterator creation process and directly output the batch of features.

This can be particularly useful when your tensor transformations are expressed as TF Dataset operations, and you want to use those transformations while serving your model.

Creates a dataset that deterministically chooses elements from datasets.

Description

Creates a dataset that deterministically chooses elements from datasets.

Usage

choose_from_datasets(datasets, choice_dataset, stop_on_empty_dataset = TRUE)

Arguments

datasets

A non-empty list of tf.data.Dataset objects with compatible structure.

choice_dataset

A tf.data.Dataset of scalar tf.int64 tensors between 0 and length(datasets) - 1.

stop_on_empty_dataset

If TRUE, selection stops if it encounters an empty dataset. If FALSE, it skips empty datasets. It is recommended to set it to TRUE. Otherwise, the selected elements start off as the user intends, but may change as input datasets become empty. This can be difficult to detect since the dataset starts off looking correct. Defaults to TRUE.

Value

Returns a dataset that interleaves elements from datasets according to the values of choice_dataset.

Examples

## Not run: 
datasets <- list(tensors_dataset("foo") %>% dataset_repeat(),
                 tensors_dataset("bar") %>% dataset_repeat(),
                 tensors_dataset("baz") %>% dataset_repeat())

# Define a dataset containing `[0, 1, 2, 0, 1, 2, 0, 1, 2]`.
choice_dataset <- range_dataset(0, 3) %>% dataset_repeat(3)
result <- choose_from_datasets(datasets, choice_dataset)
result %>% as_array_iterator() %>% iterate(function(s) s$decode()) %>% print()
# [1] "foo" "bar" "baz" "foo" "bar" "baz" "foo" "bar" "baz"

## End(Not run)

Combines consecutive elements of this dataset into batches.

Description

The components of the resulting element will have an additional outer dimension, which will be batch_size (or N %% batch_size for the last element if batch_size does not divide the number of input elements N evenly and drop_remainder is FALSE). If your program depends on the batches having the same outer dimension, you should set the drop_remainder argument to TRUE to prevent the smaller batch from being produced.

Usage

dataset_batch(
  dataset,
  batch_size,
  drop_remainder = FALSE,
  num_parallel_calls = NULL,
  deterministic = NULL
)

Arguments

dataset

A dataset

batch_size

An integer, representing the number of consecutive elements of this dataset to combine in a single batch.

drop_remainder

(Optional.) A boolean, representing whether the last batch should be dropped in the case it has fewer than batch_size elements; the default behavior is not to drop the smaller batch.

num_parallel_calls

(Optional.) A scalar integer, representing the number of batches to compute asynchronously in parallel. If not specified, batches will be computed sequentially. If the value tf$data$AUTOTUNE is used, then the number of parallel calls is set dynamically based on available resources.

deterministic

(Optional.) When num_parallel_calls is specified, if this boolean is specified (TRUE or FALSE), it controls the order in which the transformation produces elements. If set to FALSE, the transformation is allowed to yield elements out of order to trade determinism for performance. If not specified, the tf.data.Options.experimental_deterministic option (TRUE by default) controls the behavior. See dataset_options() for how to set dataset options.

Value

A dataset

Note

If your program requires data to have a statically known shape (e.g., when using XLA), you should use drop_remainder=TRUE. Without drop_remainder=TRUE the shape of the output dataset will have an unknown leading dimension due to the possibility of a smaller final batch.

A transformation that buckets elements in a Dataset by length

Description

A transformation that buckets elements in a Dataset by length

Usage

dataset_bucket_by_sequence_length(
  dataset,
  element_length_func,
  bucket_boundaries,
  bucket_batch_sizes,
  padded_shapes = NULL,
  padding_values = NULL,
  pad_to_bucket_boundary = FALSE,
  no_padding = FALSE,
  drop_remainder = FALSE,
  name = NULL
)

Arguments

dataset

A tf_dataset

element_length_func

function from element in Dataset to tf$int32, determines the length of the element, which will determine the bucket it goes into.

bucket_boundaries

integers, upper length boundaries of the buckets.

bucket_batch_sizes

integers, batch size per bucket. Length should be length(bucket_boundaries) + 1.

padded_shapes

Nested structure of tf.TensorShape (returned by tensorflow::shape()) to pass to tf.data.Dataset.padded_batch. If not provided, will use dataset.output_shapes, which will result in variable length dimensions being padded out to the maximum length in each batch.

padding_values

Values to pad with, passed to tf.data.Dataset.padded_batch. Defaults to padding with 0.

pad_to_bucket_boundary

bool, if FALSE, will pad dimensions with unknown size to maximum length in batch. If TRUE, will pad dimensions with unknown size to bucket boundary minus 1 (i.e., the maximum length in each bucket), and caller must ensure that the source Dataset does not contain any elements with length longer than max(bucket_boundaries).

no_padding

boolean, indicates whether to pad the batch features (features need to be either of type tf.sparse.SparseTensor or of same shape).

drop_remainder

(Optional.) A logical scalar, representing whether the last batch should be dropped in the case it has fewer than batch_size elements; the default behavior is not to drop the smaller batch.

name

(Optional.) A name for the tf.data operation.

Details

Elements of the Dataset are grouped together by length and then are padded and batched.

This is useful for sequence tasks in which the elements have variable length. Grouping together elements that have similar lengths reduces the total fraction of padding in a batch which increases training step efficiency.

Below is an example to bucketize the input data to the 3 buckets "[0, 3), [3, 5), [5, Inf)" based on sequence length, with batch size 2.

  dataset_enumerate()

iterator <- reticulate::as_iterator(dataset)
reticulate::iter_next(iterator) # list(0, 100)
reticulate::iter_next(iterator) # list(1, 101)
reticulate::iter_next(iterator) # list(2, 102)
reticulate::iter_next(iterator) # list(3, 103)
reticulate::iter_next(iterator) # NULL (iterator exhausted)
reticulate::iter_next(iterator) # NULL (iterator exhausted)

## End(Not run)

Details

Note that the functions used inside the predicate must be tensor operations (e.g. tf$not_equal, tf$less, etc.). R generic methods for relational operators (e.g. <, >, <=, etc.) and logical operators (e.g. !, &, |, etc.) are provided so you can use shorthand syntax for most common comparisions (this is illustrated by the example below).

Value

A dataset composed of records that matched the predicate.

  key_func,
  reduce_func,
  window_size = NULL,
  window_size_func = NULL,
  name = NULL
)

name

(Optional.) A name for the Tensorflow operation.

Details

This transformation maps each consecutive element in a dataset to a key using key_func() and groups the elements by key. It then applies reduce_func() to at most window_size_func(key) elements matching the same key. All except the final window for each key will contain window_size_func(key) elements; the final window may be smaller.

You may provide either a constant window_size or a window size determined by the key through window_size_func.

window_size <-  5
dataset <- range_dataset(to = 10) %>%
  dataset_group_by_window(
    key_func = function(x) x %% 2,
    reduce_func = function(key, ds) dataset_batch(ds, window_size),
    window_size = window_size
  )

it <- as_array_iterator(dataset)
while (!is.null(elem <- iter_next(it)))
  print(elem)
#> tf.Tensor([0 2 4 6 8], shape=(5), dtype=int64)
#> tf.Tensor([1 3 5 7 9], shape=(5), dtype=int64)

Maps map_func across this dataset, and interleaves the results

Description

Maps map_func across this dataset, and interleaves the results

Usage

dataset_interleave(dataset, map_func, cycle_length, block_length = 1)

Arguments

dataset

A dataset

map_func

A function mapping a nested structure of tensors (having shapes and types defined by output_shapes() and output_types() to a dataset.

cycle_length

The number of elements from this dataset that will be processed concurrently.

block_length

The number of consecutive elements to produce from each input element before cycling to another input element.

Details

The cycle_length and block_length arguments control the order in which elements are produced. cycle_length controls the number of input elements that are processed concurrently. In general, this transformation will apply map_func to cycle_length input elements, open iterators on the returned dataset objects, and cycle through them producing block_length consecutive elements from each iterator, and consuming the next input element each time it reaches the end of an iterator.

Fused implementation of dataset_map() and dataset_batch()

Description

Maps 'map_func“ across batch_size consecutive elements of this dataset and then combines them into a batch. Functionally, it is equivalent to map followed by batch. However, by fusing the two transformations together, the implementation can be more efficient.

Usage

dataset_map_and_batch(
  dataset,
  map_func,
  batch_size,
  num_parallel_batches = NULL,
  drop_remainder = FALSE,
  num_parallel_calls = NULL
)

batch_size

An integer, representing the number of consecutive elements of this dataset to combine in a single batch.

num_parallel_batches

(Optional) An integer, representing the number of batches to create in parallel. On one hand, higher values can help mitigate the effect of stragglers. On the other hand, higher values can increase contention if CPU is scarce.

drop_remainder

(Optional.) A boolean, representing whether the last batch should be dropped in the case it has fewer than batch_size elements; the default behavior is not to drop the smaller batch.

num_parallel_calls

(Optional) An integer, representing the number of elements to process in parallel If not specified, elements will be processed sequentially.

Get or Set Dataset Options

Description

Get or Set Dataset Options

Usage

dataset_options(dataset, ...)

Arguments

dataset

a tensorflow dataset

...

Valid values include:

  • A set of named arguments setting options. Names of nested attributes can be separated with a "." (see examples). The set of named arguments can be supplied individually to ..., or as a single named list.

  • a tf$data$Options() instance.

Details

The options are "global" in the sense they apply to the entire dataset. If options are set multiple times, they are merged as long as different options do not use different non-default values.

Value

If values are supplied to ..., returns a tf.data.Dataset with the given options set/updated. Otherwise, returns the currently set options for the dataset.

Examples

## Not run: 
# pass options directly:
range_dataset(0, 10) %>%
  dataset_options(
    experimental_deterministic = FALSE,
    threading.private_threadpool_size = 10
  )

# pass options as a named list:
opts <- list(
  experimental_deterministic = FALSE,
  threading.private_threadpool_size = 10
)
range_dataset(0, 10) %>%
  dataset_options(opts)

# pass a tf.data.Options() instance
opts <- tf$data$Options()
opts$experimental_deterministic <- FALSE
opts$threading$private_threadpool_size <- 10L
range_dataset(0, 10) %>%
  dataset_options(opts)

# get currently set options
range_dataset(0, 10) %>% dataset_options()

## End(Not run)

Combines consecutive elements of this dataset into padded batches.

Description

Combines consecutive elements of this dataset into padded batches.

Usage

dataset_padded_batch(
  dataset,
  batch_size,
  padded_shapes = NULL,
  padding_values = NULL,
  drop_remainder = FALSE,
  name = NULL
)

Arguments

dataset

A dataset

batch_size

An integer, representing the number of consecutive elements of this dataset to combine in a single batch.

padded_shapes

(Optional.) A (nested) structure of tf.TensorShape (returned by tensorflow::shape()) or tf$int64 vector tensor-like objects representing the shape to which the respective component of each input element should be padded prior to batching. Any unknown dimensions will be padded to the maximum size of that dimension in each batch. If unset, all dimensions of all components are padded to the maximum size in the batch. padded_shapes must be set if any component has an unknown rank.

padding_values

(Optional.) A (nested) structure of scalar-shaped tf.Tensor, representing the padding values to use for the respective components. NULL represents that the (nested) structure should be padded with default values. Defaults are 0 for numeric types and the empty string "" for string types. The padding_values should have the same (nested) structure as the input dataset. If padding_values is a single element and the input dataset has multiple components, then the same padding_values will be used to pad every component of the dataset. If padding_values is a scalar, then its value will be broadcasted to match the shape of each component.

drop_remainder

(Optional.) A boolean scalar, representing whether the last batch should be dropped in the case it has fewer than batch_size elements; the default behavior is not to drop the smaller batch.

name

(Optional.) A name for the tf.data operation. Requires tensorflow version >= 2.7.

Details

This transformation combines multiple consecutive elements of the input dataset into a single element.

Like dataset_batch(), the components of the resulting element will have an additional outer dimension, which will be batch_size (or N %% batch_size for the last element if batch_size does not divide the number of input elements N evenly and drop_remainder is FALSE). If your program depends on the batches having the same outer dimension, you should set the drop_remainder argument to TRUE to prevent the smaller batch from being produced.

Unlike dataset_batch(), the input elements to be batched may have different shapes, and this transformation will pad each component to the respective shape in padded_shapes. The padded_shapes argument determines the resulting shape for each dimension of each component in an output element:

  • If the dimension is a constant, the component will be padded out to that length in that dimension.

  • If the dimension is unknown, the component will be padded out to the maximum length of all elements in that dimension.

See also tf$data$experimental$dense_to_sparse_batch, which combines elements that may have different shapes into a tf$sparse$SparseTensor.

Value

A tf_dataset

  batch_size = NULL,
  num_parallel_batches = NULL,
  drop_remainder = FALSE
)

Arguments

dataset

A dataset

x

Features to include. When named_features is FALSE all features will be stacked into a single tensor so must have an identical data type.

y

(Optional). Response variable.

named

TRUE to name the dataset elements "x" and "y", FALSE to not name the dataset elements.

named_features

TRUE to yield features as a named list; FALSE to stack features into a single array. Note that in the case of FALSE (the default) all features will be stacked into a single 2D tensor so need to have the same underlying data type.

Persist the output of a dataset

Description

Persist the output of a dataset

Usage

dataset_snapshot(
  dataset,
  path,
  compression = c("AUTO", "GZIP", "SNAPPY", "None"),
  reader_func = NULL,
  shard_func = NULL
)

Arguments

dataset

A tensorflow dataset

path

Required. A directory to use for storing/loading the snapshot to/from.

compression

Optional. The type of compression to apply to the snapshot written to disk. Supported options are "GZIP", "SNAPPY", "AUTO" or NULL (values of "", NA, and "None" are synonymous with NULL) Defaults to AUTO, which attempts to pick an appropriate compression algorithm for the dataset.

reader_func

Optional. A function to control how to read data from snapshot shards.

shard_func

Optional. A function to control how to shard data when writing a snapshot.

Details

The snapshot API allows users to transparently persist the output of their preprocessing pipeline to disk, and materialize the pre-processed data on a different training run.

This API enables repeated preprocessing steps to be consolidated, and allows re-use of already processed data, trading off disk storage and network bandwidth for freeing up more valuable CPU resources and accelerator compute time.

https://github.com/tensorflow/community/blob/master/rfcs/20200107-tf-data-snapshot.md has detailed design documentation of this feature.

Users can specify various options to control the behavior of snapshot, including how snapshots are read from and written to by passing in user-defined functions to the reader_func and shard_func parameters.

shard_func is a user specified function that maps input elements to snapshot shards.

NUM_SHARDS <- parallel::detectCores()
dataset %>%
  dataset_enumerate() %>%
  dataset_snapshot(
    "/path/to/snapshot/dir",
    shard_func = function(index, ds_elem) x %% NUM_SHARDS) %>%
  dataset_map(function(index, ds_elem) ds_elem)

reader_func is a user specified function that accepts a single argument: a Dataset of Datasets, each representing a "split" of elements of the original dataset. The cardinality of the input dataset matches the number of the shards specified in the shard_func. The function should return a Dataset of elements of the original dataset.

Users may want specify this function to control how snapshot files should be read from disk, including the amount of shuffling and parallelism.

Here is an example of a standard reader function a user can define. This function enables both dataset shuffling and parallel reading of datasets:

user_reader_func <- function(datasets) {
  num_cores <- parallel::detectCores()
  datasets %>%
    dataset_shuffle(num_cores) %>%
    dataset_interleave(function(x) x, num_parallel_calls=AUTOTUNE)
}

dataset <- dataset %>%
  dataset_snapshot("/path/to/snapshot/dir",
                   reader_func = user_reader_func)

By default, snapshot parallelizes reads by the number of cores available on the system, but will not attempt to shuffle the data.

Specification for reading a record from a text file with delimited values

Description

Specification for reading a record from a text file with delimited values

Usage

delim_record_spec(
  example_file,
  delim = ",",
  skip = 0,
  names = NULL,
  types = NULL,
  defaults = NULL
)

csv_record_spec(
  example_file,
  skip = 0,
  names = NULL,
  types = NULL,
  defaults = NULL
)

tsv_record_spec(
  example_file,
  skip = 0,
  names = NULL,
  types = NULL,
  defaults = NULL
)

Arguments

example_file

File that provides an example of the records to be read. If you don't explicitly specify names and types (or defaults) then this file will be read to generate default values.

delim

Character delimiter to separate fields in a record (defaults to ",")

skip

Number of lines to skip before reading data. Note that if names is explicitly provided and there are column names witin the file then skip should be set to 1 to ensure that the column names are bypassed.

names

Character vector with column names (or NULL to automatically detect the column names from the first row of example_file).

If names is a character vector, the values will be used as the names of the columns, and the first row of the input will be read into the first row of the datset. Note that if the underlying text file also includes column names in it's first row, this row should be skipped explicitly with skip = 1.

If NULL, the first row of the example_file will be used as the column names, and will be skipped when reading the dataset.

types

Column types. If NULL and defaults is specified then types will be imputed from the defaults. Otherwise, all column types will be imputed from the first 1000 rows of the example_file. This is convenient (and fast), but not robust. If the imputation fails, you'll need to supply the correct types yourself.

Types can be explicitliy specified in a character vector as "integer", "double", and "character" (e.g. ⁠col_types = c("double", "double", "integer"⁠).

Alternatively, you can use a compact string representation where each character represents one column: c = character, i = integer, d = double (e.g. ⁠types = ⁠ddi').

defaults

List of default values which are used when data is missing from a record (e.g. ⁠list(0, 0, 0L⁠). If NULL then defaults will be automatically provided based on types (0 for numeric columns and "" for character columns).

Reads CSV files into a batched dataset

Description

Reads CSV files into a dataset, where each element is a (features, labels) list that corresponds to a batch of CSV rows. The features dictionary maps feature column names to tensors containing the corresponding feature data, and labels is a tensor containing the batch's label data.

Usage

make_csv_dataset(
  file_pattern,
  batch_size,
  column_names = NULL,
  column_defaults = NULL,
  label_name = NULL,
  select_columns = NULL,
  field_delim = ",",
  use_quote_delim = TRUE,
  na_value = "",
  header = TRUE,
  num_epochs = NULL,
  shuffle = TRUE,
  shuffle_buffer_size = 10000,
  shuffle_seed = NULL,
  prefetch_buffer_size = 1,
  num_parallel_reads = 1,
  num_parallel_parser_calls = 2,
  sloppy = FALSE,
  num_rows_for_inference = 100
)

Arguments

file_pattern

List of files or glob patterns of file paths containing CSV records.

batch_size

An integer representing the number of records to combine in a single batch.

column_names

An optional list of strings that corresponds to the CSV columns, in order. One per column of the input record. If this is not provided, infers the column names from the first row of the records. These names will be the keys of the features dict of each dataset element.

column_defaults

A optional list of default values for the CSV fields. One item per selected column of the input record. Each item in the list is either a valid CSV dtype (integer, numeric, or string), or a tensor with one of the aforementioned types. The tensor can either be a scalar default value (if the column is optional), or an empty tensor (if the column is required). If a dtype is provided instead of a tensor, the column is also treated as required. If this list is not provided, tries to infer types based on reading the first num_rows_for_inference rows of files specified, and assumes all columns are optional, defaulting to 0 for numeric values and "" for string values. If both this and select_columns are specified, these must have the same lengths, and column_defaults is assumed to be sorted in order of increasing column index.

label_name

A optional string corresponding to the label column. If provided, the data for this column is returned as a separate tensor from the features dictionary, so that the dataset complies with the format expected by a TF Estiamtors and Keras.

select_columns

(Ignored if using TensorFlow version 1.8.) An optional list of integer indices or string column names, that specifies a subset of columns of CSV data to select. If column names are provided, these must correspond to names provided in column_names or inferred from the file header lines. When this argument is specified, only a subset of CSV columns will be parsed and returned, corresponding to the columns specified. Using this results in faster parsing and lower memory usage. If both this and column_defaults are specified, these must have the same lengths, and column_defaults is assumed to be sorted in order of increasing column index.

field_delim

An optional string. Defaults to ",". Char delimiter to separate fields in a record.

use_quote_delim

An optional bool. Defaults to TRUE. If false, treats double quotation marks as regular characters inside of the string fields.

na_value

Additional string to recognize as NA/NaN.

header

A bool that indicates whether the first rows of provided CSV files correspond to header lines with column names, and should not be included in the data.

num_epochs

An integer specifying the number of times this dataset is repeated. If NULL, cycles through the dataset forever.

shuffle

A bool that indicates whether the input should be shuffled.

shuffle_buffer_size

Buffer size to use for shuffling. A large buffer size ensures better shuffling, but increases memory usage and startup time.

shuffle_seed

Randomization seed to use for shuffling.

prefetch_buffer_size

An int specifying the number of feature batches to prefetch for performance improvement. Recommended value is the number of batches consumed per training step.

num_parallel_reads

Number of threads used to read CSV records from files. If >1, the results will be interleaved.

num_parallel_parser_calls

(Ignored if using TensorFlow version 1.11 or later.) Number of parallel invocations of the CSV parsing function on CSV records.

sloppy

If TRUE, reading performance will be improved at the cost of non-deterministic ordering. If FALSE, the order of elements produced is deterministic prior to shuffling (elements are still randomized if shuffle=TRUE. Note that if the seed is set, then order of elements after shuffling is deterministic). Defaults to FALSE.

num_rows_for_inference

Number of rows of a file to use for type inference if record_defaults is not provided. If NULL, reads all the rows of all the files. Defaults to 100.

Value

A dataset, where each element is a (features, labels) list that corresponds to a batch of batch_size CSV rows. The features dictionary maps feature column names to tensors containing the corresponding column data, and labels is a tensor containing the column data for the label column specified by label_name.


Creates an iterator for enumerating the elements of this dataset.

Description

Creates an iterator for enumerating the elements of this dataset.

Usage

make_iterator_one_shot(dataset)

make_iterator_initializable(dataset, shared_name = NULL)

make_iterator_from_structure(
  output_types,
  output_shapes = NULL,
  shared_name = NULL
)

make_iterator_from_string_handle(
  string_handle,
  output_types,
  output_shapes = NULL
)

Arguments

dataset

A dataset

shared_name

(Optional) If non-empty, the returned iterator will be shared under the given name across multiple sessions that share the same devices (e.g. when using a remote server).

output_types

A nested structure of tf$DType objects corresponding to each component of an element of this iterator.

output_shapes

(Optional) A nested structure of tf$TensorShape objects corresponding to each component of an element of this dataset. If omitted, each component will have an unconstrainted shape.

string_handle

A scalar tensor of type string that evaluates to a handle produced by the iterator_string_handle() method.

Value

An Iterator over the elements of this dataset.

Initialization

For make_iterator_one_shot(), the returned iterator will be initialized automatically. A "one-shot" iterator does not currently support re-initialization.

For make_iterator_initializable(), the returned iterator will be in an uninitialized state, and you must run the object returned from iterator_initializer() before using it.

For make_iterator_from_structure(), the returned iterator is not bound to a particular dataset, and it has no initializer. To initialize the iterator, run the operation returned by iterator_make_initializer().

Other iterator functions: iterator_get_next(), iterator_initializer(), iterator_make_initializer(), iterator_string_handle()


Tensor(s) for retrieving the next batch from a dataset

Description

Tensor(s) for retrieving the next batch from a dataset

Usage

next_batch(dataset)

Arguments

dataset

A dataset

Details

To access the underlying data within the dataset you iteratively evaluate the tensor(s) to read batches of data.

Note that in many cases you won't need to explicitly evaluate the tensors. Rather, you will pass the tensors to another function that will perform the evaluation (e.g. the Keras layer_input() and compile() functions).

If you do need to perform iteration manually by evaluating the tensors, there are a couple of possible approaches to controlling/detecting when iteration should end.

One approach is to create a dataset that yields batches infinitely (traversing the dataset multiple times with different batches randomly drawn). In this case you'd use another mechanism like a global step counter or detecting a learning plateau.

Another approach is to detect when all batches have been yielded from the dataset. When the tensor reaches the end of iteration a runtime error will occur. You can catch and ignore the error when it occurs by wrapping your iteration code in the with_dataset() function.

See the examples below for a demonstration of each of these methods of iteration.

Value

Tensor(s) that can be evaluated to yield the next batch of training data.

Examples

## Not run: 

# iteration with 'infinite' dataset and explicit step counter

  dataset_repeat() # repeat infinitely
batch <- next_batch(dataset)
steps <- 200
for (i in 1:steps) {
  # use batch$x and batch$y tensors
}

# iteration that detects and ignores end of iteration error

library(tfdatasets)
dataset <- text_line_dataset("mtcars.csv", record_spec = mtcars_spec) %>%
  dataset_prepare(x = c(mpg, disp), y = cyl) %>%
  dataset_batch(128) %>%

Creates a numeric column specification

Description

step_numeric_column creates a numeric column specification. It can also be used to normalize numeric columns.

Usage

step_numeric_column(
  spec,
  ...,
  shape = 1L,
  default_value = NULL,
  dtype = tf$float32,
  normalizer_fn = NULL
)

Arguments

spec

A feature specification created with feature_spec().

...

Comma separated list of variable names to apply the step. selectors can also be used.

shape

An iterable of integers specifies the shape of the Tensor. An integer can be given which means a single dimension Tensor with given width. The Tensor representing the column will have the shape of batch_size + shape.

default_value

A single value compatible with dtype or an iterable of values compatible with dtype which the column takes on during tf.Example parsing if data is missing. A default value of NULL will cause tf.parse_example to fail if an example does not contain this column. If a single value is provided, the same value will be applied as the default value for every item. If an iterable of values is provided, the shape of the default_value should be equal to the given shape.

dtype

defines the type of values. Default value is tf$float32. Must be a non-quantized, real integer or floating point type.

normalizer_fn

If not NULL, a function that can be used to normalize the value of the tensor after default_value is applied for parsing. Normalizer function takes the input Tensor as its argument, and returns the output Tensor. (e.g. ⁠function(x) (x - 3.0) / 4.2)⁠. Please note that even though the most common use case of this function is normalization, it can be used for any kind of Tensorflow transformations. You can also a pre-made scaler, in this case a function will be created after fit.FeatureSpec is called on the feature specification.

Value

a FeatureSpec object.

An integer specifying dimension of the embedding, must be > 0. Can also be a function of the size of the vocabulary.

combiner

A string specifying how to reduce if there are multiple entries in a single row. Currently 'mean', 'sqrtn' and 'sum' are supported, with 'mean' the default. 'sqrtn' often achieves good accuracy, in particular with bag-of-words columns. Each of this can be thought as example level normalizations on the column. For more information, see tf.embedding_lookup_sparse.

initializer

A variable initializer function to be used in embedding variable initialization. If not specified, defaults to tf.truncated_normal_initializer with mean 0.0 and standard deviation 1/sqrt(dimension).

shared_embedding_collection_name

Optional collective name of these columns. If not given, a reasonable name will be chosen based on the names of categorical_columns.

ckpt_to_load_from

String representing checkpoint name/pattern from which to restore column weights. Required if tensor_name_in_ckpt is not NULL.

tensor_name_in_ckpt

Name of the Tensor in ckpt_to_load_from from which to restore the column weights. Required if ckpt_to_load_from is not NULL.

max_norm

If not NULL, embedding values are l2-normalized to this value.

trainable

Whether or not the embedding is trainable. Default is TRUE.

Value

a FeatureSpec object.

Note

Does not work in the eager mode.
