Python & NumPy utilities

[source]

set_random_seed function

keras.utils.set_random_seed(seed)

Sets all random seeds (Python, NumPy, and backend framework, e.g. TF).

You can use this utility to make almost any Keras program fully deterministic. Some limitations apply in cases where network communications are involved (e.g. parameter server distribution), which creates additional sources of randomness, or when certain non-deterministic cuDNN ops are involved.

Calling this utility is equivalent to the following:

import random
random.seed(seed)

import numpy as np
np.random.seed(seed)

import tensorflow as tf  # Only if TF is installed
tf.random.set_seed(seed)

import torch  # Only if the backend is 'torch'
torch.manual_seed(seed)

Note that the TensorFlow seed is set even if you're not using TensorFlow as your backend framework, since many workflows leverage tf.data pipelines (which feature random shuffling). Likewise many workflows might leverage NumPy APIs.

Arguments

• seed: Integer, the random seed to use.

split_dataset function

keras.utils.split_dataset(
    dataset, left_size=None, right_size=None, shuffle=False, seed=None
)

Splits a dataset into a left half and a right half (e.g. train / test).

Arguments

• dataset: A tf.data.Dataset, a torch.utils.data.Dataset object, or a list/tuple of arrays with the same length.
• left_size: If float (in the range [0, 1]), it signifies the fraction of the data to pack in the left dataset. If integer, it signifies the number of samples to pack in the left dataset. If None, defaults to the complement to right_size. Defaults to None.
• right_size: If float (in the range [0, 1]), it signifies the fraction of the data to pack in the right dataset. If integer, it signifies the number of samples to pack in the right dataset. If None, defaults to the complement to left_size. Defaults to None.
• shuffle: Boolean, whether to shuffle the data before splitting it.
• seed: A random seed for shuffling.

Returns

• A tuple of two tf.data.Dataset objects: the left and right splits.

Example

>>> data = np.random.random(size=(1000, 4))
>>> left_ds, right_ds = keras.utils.split_dataset(data, left_size=0.8)
>>> int(left_ds.cardinality())
800
>>> int(right_ds.cardinality())
200

pack_x_y_sample_weight function

keras.utils.pack_x_y_sample_weight(x, y=None, sample_weight=None)

Packs user-provided data into a tuple.

This is a convenience utility for packing data into the tuple formats that Model.fit() uses.

Example

>>> x = ops.ones((10, 1))
>>> data = pack_x_y_sample_weight(x)
>>> isinstance(data, ops.Tensor)
True
>>> y = ops.ones((10, 1))
>>> data = pack_x_y_sample_weight(x, y)
>>> isinstance(data, tuple)
True
>>> x, y = data

Arguments

• x: Features to pass to Model.
• y: Ground-truth targets to pass to Model.
• sample_weight: Sample weight for each element.

Returns

Tuple in the format used in Model.fit().

get_file function

keras.utils.get_file(
    fname=None,
    origin=None,
    untar=False,
    md5_hash=None,
    file_hash=None,
    cache_subdir="datasets",
    hash_algorithm="auto",
    extract=False,
    archive_format="auto",
    cache_dir=None,
    force_download=False,
)

Downloads a file from a URL if it not already in the cache.

By default the file at the url origin is downloaded to the cache_dir ~/.keras, placed in the cache_subdir datasets, and given the filename fname. The final location of a file example.txt would therefore be ~/.keras/datasets/example.txt. Files in .tar, .tar.gz, .tar.bz, and .zip formats can also be extracted.

Passing a hash will verify the file after download. The command line programs shasum and sha256sum can compute the hash.

Example

path_to_downloaded_file = get_file(
    origin="https://storage.googleapis.com/download.tensorflow.org/example_images/flower_photos.tgz",
    extract=True,
)

Arguments

• fname: Name of the file. If an absolute path, e.g. "/path/to/file.txt" is specified, the file will be saved at that location. If None, the name of the file at origin will be used.
• origin: Original URL of the file.
• untar: Deprecated in favor of extract argument. boolean, whether the file should be decompressed
• md5_hash: Deprecated in favor of file_hash argument. md5 hash of the file for verification
• file_hash: The expected hash string of the file after download. The sha256 and md5 hash algorithms are both supported.
• cache_subdir: Subdirectory under the Keras cache dir where the file is saved. If an absolute path, e.g. "/path/to/folder" is specified, the file will be saved at that location.
• hash_algorithm: Select the hash algorithm to verify the file. options are "md5', "sha256', and "auto'. The default 'auto' detects the hash algorithm in use.
• extract: True tries extracting the file as an Archive, like tar or zip.
• archive_format: Archive format to try for extracting the file. Options are "auto', "tar', "zip', and None. "tar" includes tar, tar.gz, and tar.bz files. The default "auto" corresponds to ["tar", "zip"]. None or an empty list will return no matches found.
• cache_dir: Location to store cached files, when None it defaults ether $KERAS_HOME if the KERAS_HOME environment variable is set or ~/.keras/.
• force_download: If True, the file will always be re-downloaded regardless of the cache state.

Returns

Path to the downloaded file.

⚠️ Warning on malicious downloads ⚠️

Downloading something from the Internet carries a risk. NEVER download a file/archive if you do not trust the source. We recommend that you specify the file_hash argument (if the hash of the source file is known) to make sure that the file you are getting is the one you expect.

Progbar class

keras.utils.Progbar(
    target, width=20, verbose=1, interval=0.05, stateful_metrics=None, unit_name="step"
)

Displays a progress bar.

Arguments

• target: Total number of steps expected, None if unknown.
• width: Progress bar width on screen.
• verbose: Verbosity mode, 0 (silent), 1 (verbose), 2 (semi-verbose)
• stateful_metrics: Iterable of string names of metrics that should not be averaged over time. Metrics in this list will be displayed as-is. All others will be averaged by the progbar before display.
• interval: Minimum visual progress update interval (in seconds).
• unit_name: Display name for step counts (usually "step" or "sample").

PyDataset class

keras.utils.PyDataset(workers=1, use_multiprocessing=False, max_queue_size=10)

Base class for defining a parallel dataset using Python code.

Every PyDataset must implement the __getitem__() and the __len__() methods. If you want to modify your dataset between epochs, you may additionally implement on_epoch_end(). The __getitem__() method should return a complete batch (not a single sample), and the __len__ method should return the number of batches in the dataset (rather than the number of samples).

Arguments

• workers: Number of workers to use in multithreading or multiprocessing.
• use_multiprocessing: Whether to use Python multiprocessing for parallelism. Setting this to True means that your dataset will be replicated in multiple forked processes. This is necessary to gain compute-level (rather than I/O level) benefits from parallelism. However it can only be set to True if your dataset can be safely pickled.
• max_queue_size: Maximum number of batches to keep in the queue when iterating over the dataset in a multithreaded or multipricessed setting. Reduce this value to reduce the CPU memory consumption of your dataset. Defaults to 10.

Notes:

• PyDataset is a safer way to do multiprocessing. This structure guarantees that the model will only train once on each sample per epoch, which is not the case with Python generators.
• The arguments workers, use_multiprocessing, and max_queue_size exist to configure how fit() uses parallelism to iterate over the dataset. They are not being used by the PyDataset class directly. When you are manually iterating over a PyDataset, no parallelism is applied.

Example

from skimage.io import imread
from skimage.transform import resize
import numpy as np
import math

# Here, `x_set` is list of path to the images
# and `y_set` are the associated classes.

class CIFAR10PyDataset(keras.utils.PyDataset):

    def __init__(self, x_set, y_set, batch_size, **kwargs):
        super().__init__(**kwargs)
        self.x, self.y = x_set, y_set
        self.batch_size = batch_size

    def __len__(self):
        # Return number of batches.
        return math.ceil(len(self.x) / self.batch_size)

    def __getitem__(self, idx):
        # Return x, y for batch idx.
        low = idx * self.batch_size
        # Cap upper bound at array length; the last batch may be smaller
        # if the total number of items is not a multiple of batch size.
        high = min(low + self.batch_size, len(self.x))
        batch_x = self.x[low:high]
        batch_y = self.y[low:high]

        return np.array([
            resize(imread(file_name), (200, 200))
               for file_name in batch_x]), np.array(batch_y)

to_categorical function

keras.utils.to_categorical(x, num_classes=None)

Converts a class vector (integers) to binary class matrix.

E.g. for use with categorical_crossentropy.

Arguments

• x: Array-like with class values to be converted into a matrix (integers from 0 to num_classes - 1).
• num_classes: Total number of classes. If None, this would be inferred as max(x) + 1. Defaults to None.

Returns

A binary matrix representation of the input as a NumPy array. The class axis is placed last.

Example

>>> a = keras.utils.to_categorical([0, 1, 2, 3], num_classes=4)
>>> print(a)
[[1. 0. 0. 0.]
 [0. 1. 0. 0.]
 [0. 0. 1. 0.]
 [0. 0. 0. 1.]]

>>> b = np.array([.9, .04, .03, .03,
...               .3, .45, .15, .13,
...               .04, .01, .94, .05,
...               .12, .21, .5, .17],
...               shape=[4, 4])
>>> loss = keras.ops.categorical_crossentropy(a, b)
>>> print(np.around(loss, 5))
[0.10536 0.82807 0.1011  1.77196]

>>> loss = keras.ops.categorical_crossentropy(a, a)
>>> print(np.around(loss, 5))
[0. 0. 0. 0.]

If the input is a NumPy array, a NumPy array will be returned. If it's a backend tensor, a backend tensor will be returned.

Arguments

• x: Array to normalize.
• axis: axis along which to normalize.
• order: Normalization order (e.g. order=2 for L2 norm).

Returns

A normalized copy of the array.
