Model Integration

In this section, we will set up our classification model by either importing or building it.

Project Setup

The project page contains the Network and Dashboard views. To toggle them, click the buttons at the top.

Dataset Block Setup

We'll start by pointing the model's dataset block to our mnist dataset. This will update the Dataset Block with the relevant input.

In the Network view, click the Dataset Block to display the Dataset Details panel on the right, then click Connect Dataset and select the mnist dataset from the list.

A more detailed explanation about this step can be found at Dataset Block.

Importing a Model from Tensorflow or PyTorch

Tensorleap can import a model saved by Tensorflow (PB/H5/JSON_TF2) and PyTorch (ONNX). For more information, see Import Model.

In this sample code, a simple CNN model is created using Tensorflow and then saved as a file named mnist-cnn.h5.

Copy

import tensorflow as tf

input = tf.keras.layers.Input(shape=(28, 28, 1))
layer = tf.keras.layers.Conv2D(32, [3, 3], activation='relu')(input)
layer = tf.keras.layers.MaxPooling2D(pool_size=(2, 2))(layer)
layer = tf.keras.layers.Conv2D(64, [3, 3], activation='relu')(layer)
layer = tf.keras.layers.MaxPooling2D(pool_size=(2, 2))(layer)
layer = tf.keras.layers.Flatten()(layer)
layer = tf.keras.layers.Dropout(0.5)(layer)
output = tf.keras.layers.Dense(10, activation='softmax')(layer)

model = tf.keras.Model(inputs=input, outputs=output)
model.save('mnist-cnn.h5')

Import Model

1. In the Network view, click the button to open the Import Model panel.

2. Set the Revision Name to mnist-cnn and the Model Name to pre-trained.

3. For File Type, select H5_TF2, then choose mnist-cnn.h5 in the Upload File field.

4. Click the Import button.

5. Once completed, the imported model, mnist-cnn, is added to the Versions view. Position your cursor over that version, click to Open Commit.

6. Back in the Network view, set the Dataset Block to point to the mnist Dataset.

Building our Classification Model using UI

In this section, we will add layers, update their properties, and connect them together to form the model.

The model we'll build is based on a small CNN (Convolutional Neural Network):

Layers

Properties

Convo2D

filters=32, kernel_size=(3, 3), activation="relu"

MaxPooling2D

pool_size=(2, 2)

Conv2D

filters=64, kernel_size=(3, 3), activation="relu"

MaxPooling2D

pool_size=(2, 2)

Flatten

Dropout

rate=0.5

Dense

units=10, activation="softmax"

Adding Layers and Their Properties

In the Network view, follow these steps for each layer:

1. Right-click and add the corresponding layer. More info at Add Layers.

2. Update the corresponding properties in the Layer Properties view on the right. More info at Layer Properties.

3. Connect the Dataset to the first layer, and then connect all the layers in order. More info at Connections.

All steps are illustrated below.

Build Model

Copy the mnist_cnn.py file to the mnist folder we created in Dataset Integration. This file defines the CNN model, and can be found here:

mnist_cnn.py

Tensorleap Model Integration Script

Next, edit the .tensorleap/model.py file and point it to the model defined in mnist_cnn.py:

The function leap_save_model gets called by the CLI on leap push, with the argument target_file_path, which is the location where the model is to be saved.

To validate the correctness of our code, run the following command:

Upon a successful check, we can continue to pushing the model:

Opening the Model Version in the UI and Set the Dataset Block

Once leap push completes, open the Versions view in the UI, where you should now see the imported model, mnist_cnn.

• Position your cursor over mnist_cnn and click to Open Commit.

• Back on the Network view, set the Dataset Block to point to the mnist Dataset Instance, and connect it to the first layer.

Once all layers have been connected to each other, the model should look like this:

Add Loss and Optimizer

In this section, we will set the Categorical Crossentropy loss function, and connect it to both the dataset's ground truth and the last layer in our model. We'll then add an Adam Optimizer block and connect it to the loss block. For more information, see Loss and Optimizer.

After completing this section, our model will be ready for training.

Within the Network view:

1. Right-click and add the following:

   • Loss -> CategoricalCrossentropy

   • GroundTruth, and set it to Ground Truth - classes

   • Optimizer -> Adam

2. Connect the last Dense layer and the GroundTruth to the CategoricalCrossentropy block. Additionally, connect the Loss block to the Adam optimizer.

All steps are illustrated below.

Add Visualizers

Visualizers define how to display tensors within the model graph. For more info, see Visualizers.

Dataset Input Visualizer

There must be at least one visualizer connected to the model's input for analysis. To add the Visualizer for the input, follow the steps below.

Within the Network view:

1. Right-click and choose Visualizer to add it.

2. Click the Visualizer node to open up the Visualizer Details on the right.

3. Choose Image from the Selected Visualizer list.

4. Connect the Dataset node output to the input of the Visualizer node.

Prediction and Ground Truth Visualizer

Additional Visualizers will be connected to the prediction and ground truth, in order to visualize the model's prediction output. Follow the steps below:

Within the Network view:

1. Right-click and choose Visualizer to add it.

2. Click the Visualizer node to open up the Visualizer Details on the right.

3. Choose HorizontalBar from the Selected Visualizer list.

4. Connect the last Dense layer output to the input of the Visualizer node.

5. Repeat the steps, and connect the second visualizer to the GroundTruth node's output.

Save Network Version

Great! Your first version is ready to be saved.

Click the button and set the Revision Name to cnn-2 (Convolution Neural Network with 2 convolutional layers). This adds the new version to the Versions view. For more information, see Save a Version.

Training

Tensorleap can import trained and untrained models. In our case, the model was created from scratch and needs to be trained.

To train the model, click from the top bar. Let's set the Number of Epochs to 10 and click . For more information, see Evaluate/Train Model.

Metrics

Once training begins, you can start tracking metrics in real-time.

Add a Dashboard and Dashlets

To add a new Metrics Dashboard, click and fill in the dashboard name - mnist.

Make sure that the model is selected from the Versions view, and add a new Dashlet.

Click for a Line Dashlet, set the name to Loss, and turn on Split series by subset to separate training and validation metrics.

Next, add another Line Dashlet for the accuracy. Follow all the previous steps to add it and set the Dashlet Name to Accuracy and set the Y-Axis to metrics.Accuracy. Do not forget turn on Split series by subset.

Overview

As training progresses, you should see loss values declining and accuracy values increasing. When training is completed, the model achieved an accuracy of 98%.

Up Next - Model Perception Analysis

Tensorleap provides a host of innovative tools for model analysis and debugging. It tracks how each sample flows through each layer, and how each learned feature flows through the model. It also stores metrics in a big dataset to analyze the model's response to data.

We've discussed integrating and training our model. It's now time to analyze it. The next part of this tutorial will demonstrate various analyses of the model and data.

Once you are ready, proceed to Model Perception Analysis.
