Distributed Tensorflow and Keras on Spark/BigDL

To make it easy to build and productionize the deep learning applications for Big Data, Analytics Zoo provides a unified analytics + AI platform that seamlessly unites Spark, TensorFlow, Keras and BigDL programs into an integrated pipeline (as illustrated below), which can then transparently run on a large-scale Hadoop/Spark clusters for distributed training and inference. (Please see more details here).

Data wrangling and analysis using PySpark

from zoo import init_nncontext
from zoo.pipeline.api.net import TFDataset

sc = init_nncontext()

#Each record in the train_rdd consists of a list of NumPy ndrrays
train_rdd = sc.parallelize(file_list)
  .map(lambda x: read_image_and_label(x))
  .map(lambda image_label: decode_to_ndarrays(image_label))

#TFDataset represents a distributed set of elements,
#in which each element contains one or more Tensorflow Tensor objects. 
dataset = TFDataset.from_rdd(train_rdd,
                             names=["features", "labels"],
                             shapes=[[28, 28, 1], [1]],
                             types=[tf.float32, tf.int32],
                             batch_size=BATCH_SIZE)

Deep learning model development using TensorFlow

import tensorflow as tf

slim = tf.contrib.slim

images, labels = dataset.tensors
labels = tf.squeeze(labels)
with slim.arg_scope(lenet.lenet_arg_scope()):
     logits, end_points = lenet.lenet(images, num_classes=10, is_training=True)

loss = tf.reduce_mean(tf.losses.sparse_softmax_cross_entropy(logits=logits, labels=labels))

Distributed training on Spark and BigDL

from zoo.pipeline.api.net import TFOptimizer
from bigdl.optim.optimizer import MaxIteration, Adam, MaxEpoch, TrainSummary

optimizer = TFOptimizer(loss, Adam(1e-3))
optimizer.set_train_summary(TrainSummary("/tmp/az_lenet", "lenet"))
optimizer.optimize(end_trigger=MaxEpoch(5))

Alternatively, using Keras APIs for model development and distributed training

from zoo.pipeline.api.keras.models import *
from zoo.pipeline.api.keras.layers import *

model = Sequential()
model.add(Reshape((1, 28, 28), input_shape=(28, 28, 1)))
model.add(Convolution2D(6, 5, 5, activation="tanh", name="conv1_5x5"))
model.add(MaxPooling2D())
model.add(Convolution2D(12, 5, 5, activation="tanh", name="conv2_5x5"))
model.add(MaxPooling2D())
model.add(Flatten())
model.add(Dense(100, activation="tanh", name="fc1"))
model.add(Dense(class_num, activation="softmax", name="fc2"))

model.compile(loss='sparse_categorical_crossentropy',
              optimizer='adam')
model.fit(train_rdd, batch_size=BATCH_SIZE, nb_epoch=5)

High level abstractions and APIs

Analytics Zoo provides a set of easy-to-use, high level abstractions and APIs that natively transfer learning, autograd and custom layer/loss, Spark DataFrames and ML Pipelines, online model serving, etc. etc.

Transfer learning

Using the high level transfer learning APIs, you can easily customize pretrained models for feature extraction or fine-tuning. (See more details here)

Load an existing model (pretrained in Caffe)

from zoo.pipeline.api.net import *
full_model = Net.load_caffe(def_path, model_path)

Remove the last few layers

# create a new model by removing layers after pool5/drop_7x7_s1
model = full_model.new_graph(["pool5/drop_7x7_s1"])

Freeze the first few layers

# freeze layers from input to pool4/3x3_s2 inclusive
model.freeze_up_to(["pool4/3x3_s2"])

Add a few new layers

from zoo.pipeline.api.keras.layers import *
from zoo.pipeline.api.keras.models import *
inputs = Input(name="input", shape=(3, 224, 224))
inception = model.to_keras()(inputs)
flatten = Flatten()(inception)
logits = Dense(2)(flatten)
newModel = Model(inputs, logits)

`autograd`

autograd provides automatic differentiation for math operations, so that you can easily build your own custom loss and layer (in both Python and Scala), as illustracted below. (See more details here)

Define model using Keras-style API and autograd

import zoo.pipeline.api.autograd as A
from zoo.pipeline.api.keras.layers import *
from zoo.pipeline.api.keras.models import *

input = Input(shape=[2, 20])
features = TimeDistributed(layer=Dense(30))(input)
f1 = features.index_select(1, 0)
f2 = features.index_select(1, 1)
diff = A.abs(f1 - f2)
model = Model(input, diff)

Optionally define custom loss function using autograd

def mean_absolute_error(y_true, y_pred):
    return mean(abs(y_true - y_pred), axis=1)

Train model with custom loss function

model.compile(optimizer=SGD(), loss=mean_absolute_error)
model.fit(x=..., y=...)

`nnframes`

nnframes provides native deep learning support in Spark DataFrames and ML Pipelines, so that you can easily build complex deep learning pipelines in just a few lines, as illustrated below. (See more details here)

Initialize NNContext and load images into DataFrames using NNImageReader

from zoo.common.nncontext import *
from zoo.pipeline.nnframes import *
from zoo.feature.image import *
sc = init_nncontext()
imageDF = NNImageReader.readImages(image_path, sc)

Process loaded data using DataFrames transformations

getName = udf(lambda row: ...)
getLabel = udf(lambda name: ...)
df = imageDF.withColumn("name", getName(col("image"))).withColumn("label", getLabel(col('name')))

Processing image using built-in feature engineering operations

transformer = RowToImageFeature() -> ImageResize(64, 64) -> ImageChannelNormalize(123.0, 117.0, 104.0) \
              -> ImageMatToTensor() -> ImageFeatureToTensor())

Define model using Keras-style APIs

from zoo.pipeline.api.keras.layers import *
from zoo.pipeline.api.keras.models import *
model = Sequential().add(Convolution2D(32, 3, 3, activation='relu', input_shape=(1, 28, 28))) \
                .add(MaxPooling2D(pool_size=(2, 2))).add(Flatten()).add(Dense(10, activation='softmax')))

Train model using Spark ML Pipelines

classifier = NNClassifier(model, CrossEntropyCriterion(),transformer).setLearningRate(0.003) \
                .setBatchSize(40).setMaxEpoch(1).setFeaturesCol("image").setCachingSample(False)
nnModel = classifier.fit(df)

Model Serving

Using the POJO model serving API, you can productionize model serving and infernece in any Java based frameworks (e.g., Spring Framework, Apache Storm, Kafka or Flink, etc.), as illustrated below:

import com.intel.analytics.zoo.pipeline.inference.AbstractInferenceModel;
import com.intel.analytics.zoo.pipeline.inference.JTensor;

public class TextClassificationModel extends AbstractInferenceModel {
    public TextClassificationModel() {
        super();
    }
}

TextClassificationModel model = new TextClassificationModel();
model.load(modelPath, weightPath);

List<JTensor> inputs = preprocess(...);
List<List<JTensor>> result = model.predict(inputs);
...

Analytics Zoo provides several built-in deep learning models that you can use for a variety of problem types, such as object detection, image classification, text classification, recommendation, etc.
