This project is a collection of various Deep Learning algorithms implemented using the TensorFlow library. This
package is intended as a command line utility you can use to quickly train and evaluate popular Deep Learning models
and maybe use them as benchmark/baseline in comparison to your custom models/datasets.

Cmd example usage::

python command_line/run_rbm.py --dataset custom --main_dir rbm-models --model_name my.Awesome.RBM --t

This command trains a RBM with 250 hidden units using the provided training and validation sets, and the specified training parameters. For the default training parameters please see command_line/run_rbm.py. The TensorFlow

Deep Belief Network

Stack of Restricted Boltzmann Machines used to build a Deep Network for supervised learning.
Cmd example usage::
python command_line/run_dbn.py --dataset mnist --main_dir dbn-models --model_name my-deeper-dbn

This command trains a DBN on the MNIST dataset. Two RBMs are used in the pretraining phase, the first is 784-512
and the second is 512-256. The training parameters of the RBMs can be specified layer-wise: for example we can
specify the learning rate for each layer with: rbm_learning_rate 0.005,0.1. In this case the fine-tuning phase uses
dropout and the ReLU activation function.

Deep Autoencoder

Stack of Restricted Boltzmann Machines used to build a Deep Network for unsupervised learning.
Cmd example usage::
python command_line/run_deep_autoencoder.py --dataset cifar10 --cifar_dir path/to/cifar10 --main_dir

This command trains a Deep Autoencoder built as a stack of RBMs on the cifar10 dataset. The layers in the finetuning
phase are 3072 -> 8192 -> 2048 -> 512 -> 256 -> 512 -> 2048 -> 8192 -> 3072, thats pretty deep.

Denoising Autoencoder

Cmd example usage::

python command_line/run_autoencoder.py --n_components 1024 --batch_size 64 --num_epochs 20 --verbose

This command trains a Denoising Autoencoder on MNIST with 1024 hidden units, sigmoid activation function
for the encoder and the decoder, and 50% masking noise. You can also initialize an Autoencoder to an already trained model by passing the parameters to its build_model() method. If you are using the command
line, you can add the options --weights /path/to/file.npy, --h_bias /path/to/file.npy and
--v_bias /path/to/file.npy. If you want to save the reconstructions of your model, you can add the option
--save_reconstructions /path/to/file.npy and the reconstruction of the test set will be saved. You
can also save the parameters of the model by adding the option --save_paramenters /path/to/file. Three
files will be generated: file-enc_w.npy, file-enc_b.npy and file-dec_b.npy.

CHAPTER 11

Stacked Denoising Autoencoder

Stack of Denoising Autoencoders used to build a Deep Network for supervised learning.
Cmd example usage::

python command_line/run_stacked_autoencoder_supervised.py --dae_layers 1024,784,512,256 --dae_batch_s

This command trains a Stack of Denoising Autoencoders 784 <-> 1024, 1024 <-> 784, 784 <-> 512, 512 <-> 256,
and then performs supervised finetuning with ReLU units. This basic command trains the model on the training set
(MNIST in this case), and print the accuracy on the test set. If in addition to the accuracy you want also the predicted
labels on the test set, just add the option --save_predictions /path/to/file.npy. You can also get the
output of each layer on the test set. This can be useful to analyze the learned model and to visualized the learned
features. This can be done by adding the --save_layers_output /path/to/file. The files will be saved
in the form file-layer-1.npy, file-layer-n.npy.

Chapter 11. Stacked Denoising Autoencoder

CHAPTER 12

Stacked Deep Autoencoder

Stack of Denoising Autoencoders used to build a Deep Network for unsupervised learning.
Cmd example usage::

python command_line/run_stacked_autoencoder_unsupervised.py --dae_layers 512,256,128 --dae_batch_size

This command trains a Stack of Denoising Autoencoders 784 <-> 512, 512 <-> 256, 256 <-> 128, and from there
it constructs the Deep Autoencoder model. The final architecture of the model is 784 <-> 512, 512 <-> 256, 256
<-> 128, 128 <-> 256, 256 <-> 512, 512 <-> 784. If you want to get the reconstructions of the test set performed
by the trained model you can add the option --save_reconstructions /path/to/file.npy. Like for
the Stacked Denoising Autoencoder, you can get the layers output by calling --save_layers_output_test
/path/to/file for the test set and --save_layers_output_train /path/to/file for the train set.
The Deep Autoencoder accepts, in addition to train validation and test sets, reference sets. These are used as reference
samples for the model. For example, if you want to reconstruct frontal faces from non-frontal faces, you can pass the
non-frontal faces as train/valid/test set and the frontal faces as train/valid/test reference. If you dont pass reference
sets, they will be set equal to the train/valid/test set.

Utilities

Each model has the following utilities:

--seed n: set numpy and tensorflow random number generators to n
--restore_previous_model: restore a previously trained model with the same model_name and
model architecture of the current model. Note: when using this feature with models that support pretraining (e.g. stacked_denoising_autoencoder) you should keep the --do_pretrain option to true and set the
--num_epochs option to 0.
