In this codelab, you'll learn to use CNNs with large datasets, which can help avoid the problem of overfitting.
If you've never built convolutions with TensorFlow before, you may want to complete Build convolutions and perform pooling codelab, where we introduce convolutions and pooling, and Build convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to enhance computer vision, where we discuss how to make computers more efficient at recognizing images.
You can find the code for the rest of the codelab running in Colab.
You'll also need TensorFlow installed, and the libraries you installed in the previous codelab.
In this codelab, you'll look at a real and very large dataset, and see the impact that it has on avoiding overfitting.
First, set up your development environment with the requisite libraries that you'll need.
import os
import zipfile
import random
import tensorflow as tf
from tensorflow.keras.optimizers import RMSprop

from shutil import copyfileThe full dataset for the kaggle challenge is provided by Microsoft. You can find it here. See the instructions in the comments if the URL in the following code block doesn't work.

print(len(os.listdir('/tmp/PetImages/Cat/')))
print(len(os.listdir('/tmp/PetImages/Dog/')))
# Expected Output:
# 12501
# 12501Now that you downloaded the data, unzip it into training and testing directories. The following code achieves that:
try:
os.mkdir('/tmp/cats-v-dogs')
os.mkdir('/tmp/cats-v-dogs/training')
os.mkdir('/tmp/cats-v-dogs/testing')
os.mkdir('/tmp/cats-v-dogs/training/cats')
os.mkdir('/tmp/cats-v-dogs/training/dogs')
os.mkdir('/tmp/cats-v-dogs/testing/cats')
os.mkdir('/tmp/cats-v-dogs/testing/dogs')
except OSError:
pass
def split_data(SOURCE, TRAINING, TESTING, SPLIT_SIZE):
files = []
for filename in os.listdir(SOURCE):
file = SOURCE + filename
if os.path.getsize(file) > 0:
files.append(filename)
else:
print(filename + " is zero length, so ignoring.")
training_length = int(len(files) * SPLIT_SIZE)
testing_length = int(len(files) - training_length)
shuffled_set = random.sample(files, len(files))

for filename in training_set:

copyfile(this_file, destination)
for filename in testing_set:

destination = TESTING + filename
copyfile(this_file, destination)
CAT_SOURCE_DIR = "/tmp/PetImages/Cat/"
TRAINING_CATS_DIR = "/tmp/cats-v-dogs/training/cats/"

split_data(CAT_SOURCE_DIR, TRAINING_CATS_DIR, TESTING_CATS_DIR, split_size)

# Expected output
# 666.jpg is zero length, so ignoring
# 11702.jpg is zero length, so ignoringYou can check to see if your data is properly unpacked using the following code:
print(len(os.listdir('/tmp/cats-v-dogs/training/cats/')))
print(len(os.listdir('/tmp/cats-v-dogs/training/dogs/')))
print(len(os.listdir('/tmp/cats-v-dogs/testing/cats/')))
print(len(os.listdir('/tmp/cats-v-dogs/testing/dogs/')))
# Expected output:
# 11250
# 11250
# 1250
# 1250Next, define the model as a series of convolutional layers with max pooling.
model = tf.keras.models.Sequential([
tf.keras.layers.Conv2D(16, (3, 3), activation='relu', input_shape=(150, 150, 3)),
tf.keras.layers.MaxPooling2D(2, 2),
tf.keras.layers.Conv2D(32, (3, 3), activation='relu'),
tf.keras.layers.MaxPooling2D(2, 2),
tf.keras.layers.Conv2D(64, (3, 3), activation='relu'),
tf.keras.layers.MaxPooling2D(2, 2),
tf.keras.layers.Flatten(),
tf.keras.layers.Dense(512, activation='relu'),
tf.keras.layers.Dense(1, activation='sigmoid')
])
model.compile(optimizer=RMSprop(lr=0.001), loss='binary_crossentropy', metrics=['acc'])
Now that the model is defined, you can train the model using an ImageDataGenerator.
TRAINING_DIR = "/tmp/cats-v-dogs/training/"
train_datagen = ImageDataGenerator(rescale=1.0/255.)
train_generator = train_datagen.flow_from_directory(TRAINING_DIR,
batch_size=100,
class_mode='binary',
target_size=(150, 150))
VALIDATION_DIR = "/tmp/cats-v-dogs/testing/"
validation_datagen = ImageDataGenerator(rescale=1.0/255.)
validation_generator = validation_datagen.flow_from_directory(VALIDATION_DIR,
batch_size=100,
class_mode='binary',
target_size=(150, 150))
# Expected Output:
# Found 22498 images belonging to 2 classes.
# Found 2500 images belonging to 2 classes.To train the model, you now call model.fit_generator, passing it to the generators that you created.
# Note that this may take some time.
history = model.fit_generator(train_generator,
epochs=15,
verbose=1,
validation_data=validation_generator)You can explore and plot the training and validation accuracy with the following code. Use it to see when you reach maximum training efficiency and see whether you're overfitting.
%matplotlib inline
import matplotlib.image as mpimg
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
#-----------------------------------------------------------
# Retrieve a list of list results on training and test data
# sets for each training epoch
#-----------------------------------------------------------
acc=history.history['acc']
val_acc=history.history['val_acc']
loss=history.history['loss']
val_loss=history.history['val_loss']
epochs=range(len(acc)) # Get number of epochs
#------------------------------------------------
# Plot training and validation accuracy per epoch
#------------------------------------------------
plt.plot(epochs, acc, 'r', "Training Accuracy")
plt.plot(epochs, val_acc, 'b', "Validation Accuracy")
plt.title('Training and validation accuracy')
plt.figure()
#------------------------------------------------
# Plot training and validation loss per epoch
#------------------------------------------------
plt.plot(epochs, loss, 'r', "Training Loss")
plt.plot(epochs, val_loss, 'b', "Validation Loss")
plt.figure()If you want to take the model for a spin, you can use the following code. Upload images to see how it classifies them!
# Here's a codeblock just for fun. You should be able to upload an image here
# and have it classified without crashing
import numpy as np
from google.colab import files
from keras.preprocessing import image
uploaded = files.upload()
for fn in uploaded.keys():
# predicting images
path = '/content/' + fn
img = image.load_img(path, target_size=(150, 150))
x = image.img_to_array(img)
x = np.expand_dims(x, axis=0)
images = np.vstack([x])
classes = model.predict(images, batch_size=10)
print(classes[0])
if classes[0]>0.5:
print(fn + " is a dog")
else:
print(fn + " is a cat")You have now learned the basics of machine learning, from the first principles to creating convolutional neural networks!
