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 elements 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 totally different duties in a course of often known as switch studying.

The CRAN model of tfhub might be put in with:

After putting in the R bundle you should set up the TensorFlow Hub python bundle. You are able to do it by working:

Getting began

The important perform of tfhub is layer_hub which works identical to a keras layer however means that you can load a whole pre-trained deep studying mannequin.

For instance you may:

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 must be downloaded the following time you employ the identical mannequin.

Now you can use layer_mobilenet as a typical Keras layer. For instance you may 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 photograph:

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              go well with 5.729345
4  n03787032       mortarboard 5.400651
5  n03929855       pickelhaube 5.008665

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

You could find extra examples of layer_hub utilization within the following articles on the TensorFlow for R web site:

Utilization with Recipes and the Characteristic Spec API

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

For instance, you may outline a recipe that makes use of a pre-trained textual content embedding mannequin with:

rec <- recipe(obscene ~ comment_text, knowledge = practice) %>%
  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 a whole working instance right here.

You may as well use tfhub with the brand new Characteristic Spec API applied in tfdatasets. You’ll be able to see a whole instance right here.

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