I am asking this question here after it went unanswered in Stack Overflow.
I'm trying to adapt the Keras example for VAE
I have modified the code to use noisy mnist images as the input of the autoencoder and the original, noiseless mnist images as the output.
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from scipy.stats import norm
from keras.layers import Input, Dense, Lambda, Layer
from keras.models import Model
from keras import backend as K
from keras import metrics
from keras.datasets import mnist
batch_size = 100
original_dim = 784
latent_dim = 2
intermediate_dim = 256
epochs = 1
epsilon_std = 1.0
x = Input(shape=(original_dim,))
h = Dense(intermediate_dim, activation='relu')(x)
z_mean = Dense(latent_dim)(h)
z_log_var = Dense(latent_dim)(h)
def sampling(args):
z_mean, z_log_var = args
epsilon = K.random_normal(shape=(K.shape(z_mean)[0], latent_dim), mean=0.,
stddev=epsilon_std)
return z_mean + K.exp(z_log_var / 2) * epsilon
z = Lambda(sampling, output_shape=(latent_dim,))([z_mean, z_log_var])
# we instantiate these layers separately so as to reuse them later
decoder_h = Dense(intermediate_dim, activation='relu')
decoder_mean = Dense(original_dim, activation='sigmoid')
h_decoded = decoder_h(z)
x_decoded_mean = decoder_mean(h_decoded)
# Custom loss layer
class CustomVariationalLayer(Layer):
def __init__(self, **kwargs):
self.is_placeholder = True
super(CustomVariationalLayer, self).__init__(**kwargs)
def vae_loss(self, x, x_decoded_mean):
xent_loss = original_dim * metrics.binary_crossentropy(x, x_decoded_mean)
kl_loss = - 0.5 * K.sum(1 + z_log_var - K.square(z_mean) - K.exp(z_log_var), axis=-1)
return K.mean(xent_loss + kl_loss)
def call(self, inputs):
x = inputs[0]
x_decoded_mean = inputs[1]
loss = self.vae_loss(x, x_decoded_mean)
self.add_loss(loss, inputs=inputs)
# We won't actually use the output.
return x
y = CustomVariationalLayer()([x, x_decoded_mean])
vae = Model(x, y)
vae.compile(optimizer='rmsprop', loss=None)
# train the VAE on MNIST digits
(x_train, y_train), (x_test, y_test) = mnist.load_data()
x_train = x_train.astype('float32') / 255.
x_test = x_test.astype('float32') / 255.
x_train = x_train.reshape((len(x_train), np.prod(x_train.shape[1:])))
x_test = x_test.reshape((len(x_test), np.prod(x_test.shape[1:])))
noise_factor = 0.5
x_train_noisy = x_train + noise_factor * np.random.normal(loc=0.0, scale=1.0, size=x_train.shape)
x_test_noisy = x_test + noise_factor * np.random.normal(loc=0.0, scale=1.0, size=x_test.shape)
x_train_noisy = np.clip(x_train_noisy, 0., 1.)
x_test_noisy = np.clip(x_test_noisy, 0., 1.)
vae.fit(x_train_noisy, x_train,
shuffle=True,
epochs=epochs,
batch_size=batch_size,
validation_data=( x_test_noisy,x_test))
But I am getting the following error message:
File "ask_vae.py", line 86, in <module>
validation_data=( x_test_noisy,x_test))
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/keras/engine/training.py", line 1574, in fit

ValueError: ('Error when checking model target: expected no data, but got:', array([[ 0., 0., 0., ..., 0., 0., 0.],

[ 0., 0., 0., ..., 0., 0., 0.],
[ 0., 0., 0., ..., 0., 0., 0.]], dtype=float32))
It seems that the model is not capable of receiving an output ; it works when I change the output to None, like so:
vae.fit(x_train_noisy, None,
shuffle=True,
epochs=epochs,
batch_size=batch_size,
validation_data=( x_test_noisy,None))
Is that because of the way the Custom Loss Layer is defined? How should I proceed?
Thanks :)
