R interface to TensorFlow Hub

We’re happy to announce that the primary model of tfhub is now on CRAN. tfhub is an R interface to TensorFlow Hub – a library for the publication, discovery, and consumption of reusable components of machine studying fashions. A module is a self-contained piece of a TensorFlow graph, together with its weights and belongings, that may be reused throughout completely different duties in a course of referred to as switch studying.

The CRAN model of tfhub will be put in with:

After putting in the R package deal that you must set up the TensorFlow Hub python package deal. You are able to do it by working:

Getting began

The important operate of tfhub is layer_hub which works similar to a keras layer however lets you load an entire pre-trained deep studying mannequin.

For instance you’ll be able to:

library(tfhub)
layer_mobilenet <- layer_hub(
  deal with = "https://tfhub.dev/google/tf2-preview/mobilenet_v2/classification/4"
)

It will obtain the MobileNet mannequin pre-trained on the ImageNet dataset. tfhub fashions are cached regionally and don’t have to be downloaded the subsequent time you utilize the identical mannequin.

Now you can use layer_mobilenet as a normal Keras layer. For instance you’ll be able to outline a mannequin:

library(keras)
enter <- layer_input(form = c(224, 224, 3))
output <- layer_mobilenet(enter)
mannequin <- keras_model(enter, output)
abstract(mannequin)

This mannequin can now be used to foretell Imagenet labels for a picture. For instance, let’s see the outcomes for the well-known Grace Hopper’s picture:

img <- image_load("https://blogs.rstudio.com/tensorflow/posts/photographs/grace-hopper.jpg", target_size = c(224,224)) %>% 
  image_to_array()
img <- img/255
dim(img) <- c(1, dim(img))
pred <- predict(mannequin, img)
imagenet_decode_predictions(pred[,-1,drop=FALSE])[[1]]

  class_name class_description    rating
1  n03763968  military_uniform 9.760404
2  n02817516          bearskin 5.922512
3  n04350905              swimsuit 5.729345
4  n03787032       mortarboard 5.400651
5  n03929855       pickelhaube 5.008665

TensorFlow Hub additionally affords many different pre-trained picture, textual content and video fashions.
All attainable fashions will be discovered on the TensorFlow hub web site.

Yow will discover extra examples of layer_hub utilization within the following articles on the TensorFlow for R web site:

Utilization with Recipes and the Function Spec API

tfhub additionally affords recipes steps to make
it simpler to make use of pre-trained deep studying fashions in your machine studying workflow.

For instance, you’ll be able to outline a recipe that makes use of a pre-trained textual content embedding mannequin with:

rec <- recipe(obscene ~ comment_text, knowledge = prepare) %>%
  step_pretrained_text_embedding(
    comment_text,
    deal with = "https://tfhub.dev/google/tf2-preview/gnews-swivel-20dim-with-oov/1"
  ) %>%
  step_bin2factor(obscene)

You’ll be able to see an entire working instance right here.

You can too use tfhub with the brand new Function Spec API applied in tfdatasets. You’ll be able to see an entire instance right here.

We hope our readers have enjoyable experimenting with Hub fashions and/or can put them to good use. When you run into any issues, tell us by creating a problem within the tfhub repository
