Let us see backend module and utils model in this blog.

backend module

backend module is used for keras backend operations. By default, keras runs on top of TensorFlow backend. If you want, you can switch to other backends like Theano or CNTK. Defualt backend configuration is defined inside your root directory under .keras/keras.json file.

Keras backend module can be imported using below code

>>> from keras import backend as k
If we are using default backend TensorFlow, then the below function returns TensorFlow based information as specified below −
>>> k.backend()
'tensorflow'
>>> k.epsilon()
1e-07
>>> k.image_data_format()
'channels_last'
>>> k.floatx()
'float32'
Let us understand some of the significant backend functions used for data analysis in brief −
get_uid()
It is the identifier for the default graph. It is defined below −
>>> k.get_uid(prefix='')
1
>>> k.get_uid(prefix='') 2
reset_uids
It is used resets the uid value.
>>> k.reset_uids()
Now, again execute the get_uid(). This will be reset and change again to 1.
>>> k.get_uid(prefix='')
1
placeholder
It is used instantiates a placeholder tensor. Simple placeholder to hold 3-D shape is shown below −
>>> data = k.placeholder(shape = (1,3,3))
>>> data
<tf.Tensor 'Placeholder_9:0' shape = (1, 3, 3) dtype = float32>
If you use int_shape(), it will show the shape.
>>> k.int_shape(data) (1, 3, 3)
dot
It is used to multiply two tensors. Consider a and b are two tensors and c will be the outcome of multiply of ab. Assume a shape is (4,2) and b shape is (2,3). It is defined below,
>>> a = k.placeholder(shape = (4,2))
>>> b = k.placeholder(shape = (2,3))
>>> c = k.dot(a,b)
>>> c
<tf.Tensor 'MatMul_3:0' shape = (4, 3) dtype = float32>
>>>
ones
It is used to initialize all as one value.
>>> res = k.ones(shape = (2,2))
#print the value
>>> k.eval(res)
array([[1., 1.], [1., 1.]], dtype = float32)
batch_dot
It is used to perform the product of two data in batches. Input dimension must be 2 or higher. It is shown below −
>>> a_batch = k.ones(shape = (2,3))
>>> b_batch = k.ones(shape = (3,2))
>>> c_batch = k.batch_dot(a_batch,b_batch)
>>> c_batch
<tf.Tensor 'ExpandDims:0' shape = (2, 1) dtype = float32>
variable
It is used to initializes a variable. Let us perform simple transpose operation in this variable.
>>> data = k.variable([[10,20,30,40],[50,60,70,80]])
#variable initialized here
>>> result = k.transpose(data)
>>> print(result)
Tensor("transpose_6:0", shape = (4, 2), dtype = float32)
>>> print(k.eval(result))
[[10. 50.]
[20. 60.]
[30. 70.]
[40. 80.]]
If you want to access from numpy −
>>> data = np.array([[10,20,30,40],[50,60,70,80]])
>>> print(np.transpose(data))
[[10 50]
[20 60]
[30 70]
[40 80]]
>>> res = k.variable(value = data)
>>> print(res)
<tf.Variable 'Variable_7:0' shape = (2, 4) dtype = float32_ref>
is_sparse(tensor)
It is used to check whether the tensor is sparse or not.
>>> a = k.placeholder((2, 2), sparse=True)
>>> print(a) SparseTensor(indices =
Tensor("Placeholder_8:0",
shape = (?, 2), dtype = int64),
values = Tensor("Placeholder_7:0", shape = (?,),
dtype = float32), dense_shape = Tensor("Const:0", shape = (2,), dtype = int64))
>>> print(k.is_sparse(a)) True
to_dense()
It is used to converts sparse into dense.
>>> b = k.to_dense(a)
>>> print(b) Tensor("SparseToDense:0", shape = (2, 2), dtype = float32)
>>> print(k.is_sparse(b)) False
random_uniform_variable
It is used to initialize using uniform distribution concept.
k.random_uniform_variable(shape, mean, scale)
Here,
shape − denotes the rows and columns in the format of tuples.
mean − mean of uniform distribution.
scale − standard deviation of uniform distribution.
Let us have a look at the below example usage −
>>> a = k.random_uniform_variable(shape = (2, 3), low=0, high = 1)
>>> b = k. random_uniform_variable(shape = (3,2), low = 0, high = 1)
>>> c = k.dot(a, b)
>>> k.int_shape(c)
(2, 2)
utils module
utils provides useful utilities function for deep learning. Some of the methods provided by the utils module is as follows −
HDF5Matrix
It is used to represent the input data in HDF5 format.
from keras.utils import HDF5Matrix data = HDF5Matrix('data.hdf5', 'data')
to_categorical
It is used to convert class vector into binary class matrix.
>>> from keras.utils import to_categorical
>>> labels = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]
>>> to_categorical(labels)
array([[1., 0., 0., 0., 0., 0., 0., 0., 0., 0.],
[0., 1., 0., 0., 0., 0., 0., 0., 0., 0.],
[0., 0., 1., 0., 0., 0., 0., 0., 0., 0.],
[0., 0., 0., 1., 0., 0., 0., 0., 0., 0.],
[0., 0., 0., 0., 1., 0., 0., 0., 0., 0.],
[0., 0., 0., 0., 0., 1., 0., 0., 0., 0.],
[0., 0., 0., 0., 0., 0., 1., 0., 0., 0.],
[0., 0., 0., 0., 0., 0., 0., 1., 0., 0.],
[0., 0., 0., 0., 0., 0., 0., 0., 1., 0.],
[0., 0., 0., 0., 0., 0., 0., 0., 0., 1.]], dtype = float32)
>>> from keras.utils import normalize
>>> normalize([1, 2, 3, 4, 5])
array([[0.13483997, 0.26967994, 0.40451992, 0.53935989, 0.67419986]])
print_summary
It is used to print the summary of the model.
from keras.utils import print_summary print_summary(model)
plot_model
It is used to create the model representation in dot format and save it to file.
from keras.utils import plot_model
plot_model(model,to_file = 'image.png')
This plot_model will generate an image to understand the performance of model.
