TensorLayer 1.8.4rc0 ~ 1

TL Models - Provides pre-trained VGG16, SqueezeNet and MobileNetV1 in one line of code (by @lgarithm @zsdonghao), more models will be provided soon!

• Classify ImageNet classes, see tutorial_models_mobilenetv1.py

    >>> x = tf.placeholder(tf.float32, [None, 224, 224, 3])
    >>> # get the whole model
    >>> net = tl.models.MobileNetV1(x)
    >>> # restore pre-trained parameters
    >>> sess = tf.InteractiveSession()
    >>> net.restore_params(sess)
    >>> # use for inferencing
    >>> probs = tf.nn.softmax(net.outputs)

• Extract features and Train a classifier with 100 classes

    >>> x = tf.placeholder(tf.float32, [None, 224, 224, 3])
    >>> # get model without the last layer
    >>> cnn = tl.models.MobileNetV1(x, end_with='reshape')
    >>> # add one more layer
    >>> net = Conv2d(cnn, 100, (1, 1), (1, 1), name='out')
    >>> net = FlattenLayer(net, name='flatten')
    >>> # initialize all parameters
    >>> sess = tf.InteractiveSession()
    >>> tl.layers.initialize_global_variables(sess)
    >>> # restore pre-trained parameters
    >>> cnn.restore_params(sess)
    >>> # train your own classifier (only update the last layer)
    >>> train_params = tl.layers.get_variables_with_name('out')

• Reuse model

    >>> x1 = tf.placeholder(tf.float32, [None, 224, 224, 3])
    >>> x2 = tf.placeholder(tf.float32, [None, 224, 224, 3])
    >>> # get network without the last layer
    >>> net1 = tl.models.MobileNetV1(x1, end_with='reshape')
    >>> # reuse the parameters with different input
    >>> net2 = tl.models.MobileNetV1(x2, end_with='reshape', reuse=True)
    >>> # restore pre-trained parameters (as they share parameters, we don’t need to restore net2)
    >>> sess = tf.InteractiveSession()
    >>> net1.restore_params(sess)

• Enable skip biases in Conv3dLayer, the same as beta and gamma in BatchNormLayer 7a5b258 (by @lllcho)

TensorLayer 1.8.2

As this version is more stable, we highly recommend users to update to this version.

Functions

• Binary Neural Network (by @zsdonghao)

This is an experimental API package for building Binary Nets. We are using matrix multiplication rather than add-minus and bit-count operation at the moment. Therefore, these APIs would not speed up the inferencing, for production, you can train model via TensorLayer and deploy the model into other customized C/C++ implementation (We probably provide users an extra C/C++ binary net framework that can load model from TensorLayer).

Note that, these experimental APIs can be changed in the future

• Load the Street View House Numbers (SVHN) dataset in 1 line of code (by @zsdonghao)
• Load Fashion-MNIST in 1 line of code (by @AutuanLiu)
• SeparableConv2d which performs a depthwise convolution that acts separately on channels, followed by a pointwise convolution that mixes channels. While DepthwiseConv2d performs depthwise convolution only, which allow us to add batch normalization between depthwise and pointwise convolution. (by @zsdonghao)

Updates

• Use __all__ control the import of all files, see 26d7b40
• Update logging 08a1199 (by @lllcho)
• Add doc on how to build docker image (by @AutuanLiu )

Bug Fix

• Fixed bug of RNN (by @nebulaV )

Maintain documentation by @lgarithm @luomai @wagamamaz @zsdonghao

TensorLayer 1.8.1

We highly recommend users to update to 1.8.1:

Updates

• Implement unit tests for layers (by @zsdonghao)
• Update basic layer for tracking parameters, layer outputs and drop probabilities of previous layer (by @zsdonghao @luomai @lgarithm )
• Fix bug for RNN layer with n_layer>1 (by @nebulaV)
• Remove the use of global variables and fix critical bugs (by @luomai @zsdonghao)

TensorLayer 1.8.0

We recommend users to update and report bugs or issues.

Features

• Experimentally support the Command-Line-Interface (CLI) module. (@luomai @lgarithm)
  • Support cli: tl train which can bootstrap a GPU/CPU parallel training job.
• Use logging instead of print() to output logs. (by @luomai @lgarithm)
• Update dropout implementation of RNN layers (by @nebulaV)
• Layers support slicing and iterating:

>>> x = tf.placeholder("float32", [None, 100])
>>> n = tl.layers.InputLayer(x, name='in')
>>> n = tl.layers.DenseLayer(n, 80, name='d1')
>>> n = tl.layers.DenseLayer(n, 80, name='d2')
>>> print(n)
... Last layer is: DenseLayer (d2) [None, 80]

The outputs can be sliced as follow:

>>> n2 = n[:, :30]
>>> print(n2)
... Last layer is: Layer (d2) [None, 30]

The outputs of all layers can be iterated as follow:

>>> for l in n:
>>>    print(l)
... Tensor("d1/Identity:0", shape=(?, 80), dtype=float32)
... Tensor("d2/Identity:0", shape=(?, 80), dtype=float32)
