error of sparse_categorical_crossentropy when using theano backend

Open HighCWu opened this issue 5 years ago • 5 comments

It's totally no problem when using tensorflow backend. Now I test the theano. When running train_model of tutorial.ipynb,we get 1d~2d tensor but not Tensortype(float32,3D) error from T.nnet.softmax() of K.sparse_categorical_crossentropy

<ipython-input-22-27837df85ad1> in classification_loss(y_true, y_pred)
      2 import keras.backend as K
      3 def classification_loss(y_true, y_pred):
----> 4     return K.sparse_categorical_crossentropy(y_true, y_pred, from_logits=True)
      5 train.classification_loss = classification_loss

/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/keras/backend/theano_backend.py in sparse_categorical_crossentropy(target, output, from_logits, axis)
   1788     target = T.extra_ops.to_one_hot(target, nb_class=output.shape[-1])
   1789     target = reshape(target, shape(output))
-> 1790     return categorical_crossentropy(target, output, from_logits, axis=-1)
   1791 
   1792 

/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/keras/backend/theano_backend.py in categorical_crossentropy(target, output, from_logits, axis)
   1762         target = permute_dimensions(target, permutation)
   1763     if from_logits:
-> 1764         output = T.nnet.softmax(output)
   1765     else:
   1766         # scale preds so that the class probas of each sample sum to 1

/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/theano/tensor/nnet/nnet.py in softmax(c)
    813     if c.broadcastable[-1]:
    814         warnings.warn("The softmax is applied on a dimension of shape 1, which does not have a semantic meaning.")
--> 815     return softmax_op(c)
    816 
    817

    613         """
    614         return_list = kwargs.pop('return_list', False)
--> 615         node = self.make_node(*inputs, **kwargs)
    616 
    617         if config.compute_test_value != 'off':

/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/theano/tensor/nnet/nnet.py in make_node(self, x)
    428                 or x.type.dtype not in tensor.float_dtypes:
    429             raise ValueError('x must be 1-d or 2-d tensor of floats. Got %s' %
--> 430                              x.type)
    431         if x.ndim == 1:
    432             warnings.warn("DEPRECATION: If x is a vector, Softmax will not automatically pad x "

ValueError: x must be 1-d or 2-d tensor of floats. Got TensorType(float32, 3D)

Then I use this to avoid it:

    import keras.backend as K
    _softmax = K.T.nnet.softmax
    def softmax(x):
        if x.ndim == 3:
            d1,d2,d3 = x.shape
            return _softmax(x.reshape((d1*d2,d3))).reshape((d1,d2,d3))
        return _softmax(x)
    K.T.nnet.softmax = softmax

but run

m = train_model(base_model=sequence_encoder, is_causal=False, tasks_meta_data=tasks, pretrain_generator=generator,
                finetune_generator=generator, pretrain_epochs=100, pretrain_steps=number_of_pretrain_steps // 100,
                finetune_epochs=100, finetune_steps=number_of_finetune_steps // 100, verbose=2, TPUStrategy=strategy)

again we get error:

It seems it's not my coding bug because I checkout the branch back to that one is before tpu support.

I got something about this: keras-users/EhWwuq6R0lQ I'm not familiar with theano, so I don't know why it's OK on tensorflow but not okay on theano.

HighCWu avatar Nov 30 '18 11:11 HighCWu

yeah I know; as I said in the readme file I was unable to train the model with theano backend (I also checked cntk, I couldn't even run the model!)

Oh, I see it. Maybe the theano support is not very necessary. At least now we rarely use theano. I should have seen it. It seems that I have donesome useless work.I should spend my time on something else. Will you spend your time on this ?

HighCWu avatar Nov 30 '18 13:11 HighCWu

TBH I spent a day on this and at the end, I just hated Keras (for allowing such issues) and my self! so no I'm not going to waste any more time on this; Right now I'm changing the attention mechanism of BERT and trying to make it faster

If you want to play with BERT and learn something (and help others) a good direction is to train a distilled version of BERT, so maybe you can train a model that is only 8 layers deep and 16 heads per layer but with similar accuracy another idea that you can try is to use an encoder other than the transformer, so maybe a multilayer bidirectional QRNN can be used instead of the transformer?

Oh and thanks for making sure that the TPU version is correct and checking the backward compatibility :+1:

Separius avatar Nov 30 '18 13:11 Separius

Thanks for your advice. BERT is really so large one for me. I will try your suggestion and wish you success on your new try.
