python - TensorFlow:实现 Spearman 距离作为目标函数

Question

为了使我的问题可重现，我使用鸢尾花数据集(10 任意行，所有列标准标准化)和最小神经网络模型(预测花瓣宽度(使用萼片长度、萼片宽度和花瓣长度)通过修改我在互联网上找到的 MNIST 示例来实现。向下滚动查看我的问题!

nn.py

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
import tensorflow as tf
import scipy.stats

# Import iris data
data = pd.read_csv("iris.csv")
input = data[["Sepal.Length", "Sepal.Width", "Petal.Length"]]
target = data[["Petal.Width"]]

# Parameters
learning_rate = 0.001
training_epochs = 6000

# Network Parameters
n_hidden_1 = 5 # 1st layer number of features
n_hidden_2 = 5 # 2nd layer number of features
n_input = 3 # data input
n_output = 1 # data output

# tf Graph input
x = tf.placeholder("float", [None, n_input])
y = tf.placeholder("float", [None, n_output])

# Create model
def multilayer_network(x, weights, biases):
  # Hidden layer with TanH activation
  layer_1 = tf.add(tf.matmul(x, weights['h1']), biases['b1'])
  layer_1 = tf.tanh(layer_1)
  # Hidden layer with TanH activation
  layer_2 = tf.add(tf.matmul(layer_1, weights['h2']), biases['b2'])
  layer_2 = tf.tanh(layer_2)
  # Output layer with linear activation
  out_layer = tf.matmul(layer_2, weights['out']) + biases['out']
  return out_layer

# Store layers weight & bias
weights = {
  'h1': tf.Variable(tf.random_normal([n_input, n_hidden_1])),
  'h2': tf.Variable(tf.random_normal([n_hidden_1, n_hidden_2])),
  'out': tf.Variable(tf.random_normal([n_hidden_2, n_output]))
}
biases = {
  'b1': tf.Variable(tf.random_normal([n_hidden_1])),
  'b2': tf.Variable(tf.random_normal([n_hidden_2])),
  'out': tf.Variable(tf.random_normal([n_output]))
}

# Construct model
pred = multilayer_network(x, weights, biases)

# Define loss and optimizer
cost = tf.reduce_mean(tf.square(pred-y))
optimizer = tf.train.AdamOptimizer(learning_rate=learning_rate).minimize(cost)

# Initializing the variables
init = tf.initialize_all_variables()

# Launch the graph
with tf.Session() as sess:
  sess.run(init)

  # Training cycle
  for epoch in range(training_epochs):
    # Run optimization op (backprop) and cost op (to get loss value)
    _, c = sess.run([optimizer, cost], feed_dict={x: input, y: target})

    # Display logs per epoch step
    if epoch % 1000 == 0:
      print "Epoch:", '%04d' % (epoch+1), "cost=", "{:.9f}".format(c)

print "Optimization Finished!"

以下是培训类(class)结果示例:

$ python nn.py
Epoch: 0001 cost= 3.000185966
Epoch: 1001 cost= 0.031734336
Epoch: 2001 cost= 0.000614795
Epoch: 3001 cost= 0.000008422
Epoch: 4001 cost= 0.000000057
Epoch: 5001 cost= 0.000000000
Optimization Finished!

我的想法是用我最近了解到的斯 PIL 曼距离代替均方误差作为我的目标函数。遵循定义:

我编写了一个返回向量排名的函数:

import scipy.stats

def rank(vector):
  return scipy.stats.rankdata(vector, method="min")

使用 TensorFlow 的方法 py_func，我定义了成本张量，如下所示。

pred = tf.to_float(tf.py_func(rank, [pred], [tf.int64])[0])
y = tf.to_float(tf.py_func(rank, [y], [tf.int64])[0])

cost = tf.reduce_mean(tf.square(y-pred))

但是，这给了我错误

ValueError: No gradients provided for any variable: ((None, <tensorflow.python.ops.variables.Variable object at 0x7f67ffe4ee90>), (None, <tensorflow.python.ops.variables.Variable object at 0x7f66ed3c4990>), (None, <tensorflow.python.ops.variables.Variable object at 0x7f66ed357310>), (None, <tensorflow.python.ops.variables.Variable object at 0x7f66ed357190>), (None, <tensorflow.python.ops.variables.Variable object at 0x7f66ed380350>), (None, <tensorflow.python.ops.variables.Variable object at 0x7f66ed3801d0>))

我不明白根本问题是什么。您能为我提供的任何指导将不胜感激!

Answer 1

您的错误来自于 tf.py_func 没有定义渐变。

无论如何，正如 @user20160 在评论中所说，rank 操作甚至不存在梯度，因此这不是您可以直接训练算法的损失。
