简介

此示例演示了如何构建双编码器(也称为双塔)神经网络模型,以使用自然语言搜索图像。该模型的灵感来自 Alec Radford 等人提出的 CLIP 方法。该想法是共同训练视觉编码器和文本编码器,将图像及其标题的表示投影到同一个嵌入空间中,使得标题嵌入位于描述它们的图像的嵌入附近。

此示例需要 TensorFlow 2.4 或更高版本。此外,TensorFlow HubTensorFlow Text 是 BERT 模型所需的,而 TensorFlow Addons 是 AdamW 优化器所需的。可以使用以下命令安装这些库

pip install -q -U tensorflow-hub tensorflow-text tensorflow-addons

准备数据

我们将使用 MS-COCO 数据集来训练我们的双编码器模型。MS-COCO 包含超过 82,000 张图像,每张图像至少有 5 种不同的标题注释。该数据集通常用于 图像字幕 任务,但我们可以重新利用图像-标题对来训练我们的双编码器模型以进行图像搜索。

下载并解压缩数据

首先,让我们下载数据集,它包含两个压缩文件夹:一个包含图像,另一个包含相关的图像标题。请注意,压缩的图像文件夹大小为 13GB。

root_dir = "datasets"
annotations_dir = os.path.join(root_dir, "annotations")
images_dir = os.path.join(root_dir, "train2014")
tfrecords_dir = os.path.join(root_dir, "tfrecords")
annotation_file = os.path.join(annotations_dir, "captions_train2014.json")

# Download caption annotation files
if not os.path.exists(annotations_dir):
    annotation_zip = tf.keras.utils.get_file(
        "captions.zip",
        cache_dir=os.path.abspath("."),
        origin="http://images.cocodataset.org/annotations/annotations_trainval2014.zip",
        extract=True,
    )
    os.remove(annotation_zip)

# Download image files
if not os.path.exists(images_dir):
    image_zip = tf.keras.utils.get_file(
        "train2014.zip",
        cache_dir=os.path.abspath("."),
        origin="http://images.cocodataset.org/zips/train2014.zip",
        extract=True,
    )
    os.remove(image_zip)

print("Dataset is downloaded and extracted successfully.")

with open(annotation_file, "r") as f:
    annotations = json.load(f)["annotations"]

image_path_to_caption = collections.defaultdict(list)
for element in annotations:
    caption = f"{element['caption'].lower().rstrip('.')}"
    image_path = images_dir + "/COCO_train2014_" + "%012d.jpg" % (element["image_id"])
    image_path_to_caption[image_path].append(caption)

image_paths = list(image_path_to_caption.keys())
print(f"Number of images: {len(image_paths)}")

处理并将数据保存到 TFRecord 文件

您可以更改 sample_size 参数以控制将使用多少图像-标题对来训练双编码器模型。在此示例中,我们将 train_size 设置为 30,000 张图像,这约占数据集的 35%。我们为每张图像使用 2 个标题,因此产生了 60,000 个图像-标题对。训练集的大小会影响生成编码器的质量,但更多示例会导致更长的训练时间。

train_size = 30000
valid_size = 5000
captions_per_image = 2
images_per_file = 2000

train_image_paths = image_paths[:train_size]
num_train_files = int(np.ceil(train_size / images_per_file))
train_files_prefix = os.path.join(tfrecords_dir, "train")

valid_image_paths = image_paths[-valid_size:]
num_valid_files = int(np.ceil(valid_size / images_per_file))
valid_files_prefix = os.path.join(tfrecords_dir, "valid")

tf.io.gfile.makedirs(tfrecords_dir)


def bytes_feature(value):
    return tf.train.Feature(bytes_list=tf.train.BytesList(value=[value]))


def create_example(image_path, caption):
    feature = {
        "caption": bytes_feature(caption.encode()),
        "raw_image": bytes_feature(tf.io.read_file(image_path).numpy()),
    }
    return tf.train.Example(features=tf.train.Features(feature=feature))


def write_tfrecords(file_name, image_paths):
    caption_list = []
    image_path_list = []
    for image_path in image_paths:
        captions = image_path_to_caption[image_path][:captions_per_image]
        caption_list.extend(captions)
        image_path_list.extend([image_path] * len(captions))

    with tf.io.TFRecordWriter(file_name) as writer:
        for example_idx in range(len(image_path_list)):
            example = create_example(
                image_path_list[example_idx], caption_list[example_idx]
            )
            writer.write(example.SerializeToString())
    return example_idx + 1


def write_data(image_paths, num_files, files_prefix):
    example_counter = 0
    for file_idx in tqdm(range(num_files)):
        file_name = files_prefix + "-%02d.tfrecord" % (file_idx)
        start_idx = images_per_file * file_idx
        end_idx = start_idx + images_per_file
        example_counter += write_tfrecords(file_name, image_paths[start_idx:end_idx])
    return example_counter


train_example_count = write_data(train_image_paths, num_train_files, train_files_prefix)
print(f"{train_example_count} training examples were written to tfrecord files.")

valid_example_count = write_data(valid_image_paths, num_valid_files, valid_files_prefix)
print(f"{valid_example_count} evaluation examples were written to tfrecord files.")

创建用于训练和评估的 tf.data.Dataset

feature_description = {
    "caption": tf.io.FixedLenFeature([], tf.string),
    "raw_image": tf.io.FixedLenFeature([], tf.string),
}


def read_example(example):
    features = tf.io.parse_single_example(example, feature_description)
    raw_image = features.pop("raw_image")
    features["image"] = tf.image.resize(
        tf.image.decode_jpeg(raw_image, channels=3), size=(299, 299)
    )
    return features


def get_dataset(file_pattern, batch_size):

    return (
        tf.data.TFRecordDataset(tf.data.Dataset.list_files(file_pattern))
        .map(
            read_example,
            num_parallel_calls=tf.data.AUTOTUNE,
            deterministic=False,
        )
        .shuffle(batch_size * 10)
        .prefetch(buffer_size=tf.data.AUTOTUNE)
        .batch(batch_size)
    )

实现投影头

投影头用于将图像和文本嵌入转换为具有相同维度的同一个嵌入空间。

def project_embeddings(
    embeddings, num_projection_layers, projection_dims, dropout_rate
):
    projected_embeddings = layers.Dense(units=projection_dims)(embeddings)
    for _ in range(num_projection_layers):
        x = tf.nn.gelu(projected_embeddings)
        x = layers.Dense(projection_dims)(x)
        x = layers.Dropout(dropout_rate)(x)
        x = layers.Add()([projected_embeddings, x])
        projected_embeddings = layers.LayerNormalization()(x)
    return projected_embeddings

实现视觉编码器

在此示例中,我们使用 Xception(来自 Keras Applications)作为视觉编码器的基础。

def create_vision_encoder(
    num_projection_layers, projection_dims, dropout_rate, trainable=False
):
    # Load the pre-trained Xception model to be used as the base encoder.
    xception = keras.applications.Xception(
        include_top=False, weights="imagenet", pooling="avg"
    )
    # Set the trainability of the base encoder.
    for layer in xception.layers:
        layer.trainable = trainable
    # Receive the images as inputs.
    inputs = layers.Input(shape=(299, 299, 3), name="image_input")
    # Preprocess the input image.
    xception_input = tf.keras.applications.xception.preprocess_input(inputs)
    # Generate the embeddings for the images using the xception model.
    embeddings = xception(xception_input)
    # Project the embeddings produced by the model.
    outputs = project_embeddings(
        embeddings, num_projection_layers, projection_dims, dropout_rate
    )
    # Create the vision encoder model.
    return keras.Model(inputs, outputs, name="vision_encoder")

实现文本编码器

我们使用来自 TensorFlow HubBERT 作为文本编码器

def create_text_encoder(
    num_projection_layers, projection_dims, dropout_rate, trainable=False
):
    # Load the BERT preprocessing module.
    preprocess = hub.KerasLayer(
        "https://tfhub.dev/tensorflow/bert_en_uncased_preprocess/2",
        name="text_preprocessing",
    )
    # Load the pre-trained BERT model to be used as the base encoder.
    bert = hub.KerasLayer(
        "https://tfhub.dev/tensorflow/small_bert/bert_en_uncased_L-4_H-512_A-8/1",
        "bert",
    )
    # Set the trainability of the base encoder.
    bert.trainable = trainable
    # Receive the text as inputs.
    inputs = layers.Input(shape=(), dtype=tf.string, name="text_input")
    # Preprocess the text.
    bert_inputs = preprocess(inputs)
    # Generate embeddings for the preprocessed text using the BERT model.
    embeddings = bert(bert_inputs)["pooled_output"]
    # Project the embeddings produced by the model.
    outputs = project_embeddings(
        embeddings, num_projection_layers, projection_dims, dropout_rate
    )
    # Create the text encoder model.
    return keras.Model(inputs, outputs, name="text_encoder")

实现双编码器

为了计算损失,我们将批次中每个 caption_iimages_j 之间的成对点积相似度计算为预测值。caption_iimage_j 之间的目标相似度计算为(caption_icaption_j 之间的点积相似度)和(image_iimage_j 之间的点积相似度)的平均值。然后,我们使用交叉熵来计算目标和预测之间的损失。

class DualEncoder(keras.Model):
    def __init__(self, text_encoder, image_encoder, temperature=1.0, **kwargs):
        super().__init__(**kwargs)
        self.text_encoder = text_encoder
        self.image_encoder = image_encoder
        self.temperature = temperature
        self.loss_tracker = keras.metrics.Mean(name="loss")

    @property
    def metrics(self):
        return [self.loss_tracker]

    def call(self, features, training=False):
        # Place each encoder on a separate GPU (if available).
        # TF will fallback on available devices if there are fewer than 2 GPUs.
        with tf.device("/gpu:0"):
            # Get the embeddings for the captions.
            caption_embeddings = text_encoder(features["caption"], training=training)
        with tf.device("/gpu:1"):
            # Get the embeddings for the images.
            image_embeddings = vision_encoder(features["image"], training=training)
        return caption_embeddings, image_embeddings

    def compute_loss(self, caption_embeddings, image_embeddings):
        # logits[i][j] is the dot_similarity(caption_i, image_j).
        logits = (
            tf.matmul(caption_embeddings, image_embeddings, transpose_b=True)
            / self.temperature
        )
        # images_similarity[i][j] is the dot_similarity(image_i, image_j).
        images_similarity = tf.matmul(
            image_embeddings, image_embeddings, transpose_b=True
        )
        # captions_similarity[i][j] is the dot_similarity(caption_i, caption_j).
        captions_similarity = tf.matmul(
            caption_embeddings, caption_embeddings, transpose_b=True
        )
        # targets[i][j] = avarage dot_similarity(caption_i, caption_j) and dot_similarity(image_i, image_j).
        targets = keras.activations.softmax(
            (captions_similarity + images_similarity) / (2 * self.temperature)
        )
        # Compute the loss for the captions using crossentropy
        captions_loss = keras.losses.categorical_crossentropy(
            y_true=targets, y_pred=logits, from_logits=True
        )
        # Compute the loss for the images using crossentropy
        images_loss = keras.losses.categorical_crossentropy(
            y_true=tf.transpose(targets), y_pred=tf.transpose(logits), from_logits=True
        )
        # Return the mean of the loss over the batch.
        return (captions_loss + images_loss) / 2

    def train_step(self, features):
        with tf.GradientTape() as tape:
            # Forward pass
            caption_embeddings, image_embeddings = self(features, training=True)
            loss = self.compute_loss(caption_embeddings, image_embeddings)
        # Backward pass
        gradients = tape.gradient(loss, self.trainable_variables)
        self.optimizer.apply_gradients(zip(gradients, self.trainable_variables))
        # Monitor loss
        self.loss_tracker.update_state(loss)
        return {"loss": self.loss_tracker.result()}

    def test_step(self, features):
        caption_embeddings, image_embeddings = self(features, training=False)
        loss = self.compute_loss(caption_embeddings, image_embeddings)
        self.loss_tracker.update_state(loss)
        return {"loss": self.loss_tracker.result()}

训练双编码器模型

在此实验中,我们冻结了文本和图像的基本编码器,只使投影头可训练。

num_epochs = 5  # In practice, train for at least 30 epochs
batch_size = 256

vision_encoder = create_vision_encoder(
    num_projection_layers=1, projection_dims=256, dropout_rate=0.1
)
text_encoder = create_text_encoder(
    num_projection_layers=1, projection_dims=256, dropout_rate=0.1
)
dual_encoder = DualEncoder(text_encoder, vision_encoder, temperature=0.05)
dual_encoder.compile(
    optimizer=tfa.optimizers.AdamW(learning_rate=0.001, weight_decay=0.001)
)

请注意,使用 60,000 个图像-标题对(批次大小为 256)训练模型,使用 V100 GPU 加速器大约需要 12 分钟/轮。如果可用 2 个 GPU,则轮次大约需要 8 分钟。

使用自然语言查询搜索图像

然后,我们可以通过以下步骤检索与自然语言查询相对应的图像

  1. 通过将图像馈送到 vision_encoder 中来生成图像嵌入。
  2. 将自然语言查询馈送到 text_encoder 中以生成查询嵌入。
  3. 计算查询嵌入和索引中图像嵌入之间的相似度,以检索最佳匹配的索引。
  4. 查找最佳匹配图像的路径以显示它们。

请注意,在训练完 dual encoder 后,只会使用微调后的 vision_encodertext_encoder 模型,而 dual_encoder 模型将被丢弃。

生成图像嵌入

我们将加载图像并将其输入 vision_encoder 以生成其嵌入。在大规模系统中,此步骤是使用并行数据处理框架(例如 Apache SparkApache Beam)执行的。生成图像嵌入可能需要几分钟。

print("Loading vision and text encoders...")
vision_encoder = keras.models.load_model("vision_encoder")
text_encoder = keras.models.load_model("text_encoder")
print("Models are loaded.")


def read_image(image_path):
    image_array = tf.image.decode_jpeg(tf.io.read_file(image_path), channels=3)
    return tf.image.resize(image_array, (299, 299))


print(f"Generating embeddings for {len(image_paths)} images...")
image_embeddings = vision_encoder.predict(
    tf.data.Dataset.from_tensor_slices(image_paths).map(read_image).batch(batch_size),
    verbose=1,
)
print(f"Image embeddings shape: {image_embeddings.shape}.")

Generating embeddings for 82783 images...
324/324 [==============================] - 437s 1s/step
Image embeddings shape: (82783, 256).

检索相关图像

在本示例中,我们通过计算输入查询嵌入与图像嵌入之间的点积相似度来使用精确匹配,并检索前 k 个匹配项。但是,在实时使用场景中,使用 ScaNNAnnoyFaiss 等框架的近似相似度匹配更适合处理大量图像。

def find_matches(image_embeddings, queries, k=9, normalize=True):
    # Get the embedding for the query.
    query_embedding = text_encoder(tf.convert_to_tensor(queries))
    # Normalize the query and the image embeddings.
    if normalize:
        image_embeddings = tf.math.l2_normalize(image_embeddings, axis=1)
        query_embedding = tf.math.l2_normalize(query_embedding, axis=1)
    # Compute the dot product between the query and the image embeddings.
    dot_similarity = tf.matmul(query_embedding, image_embeddings, transpose_b=True)
    # Retrieve top k indices.
    results = tf.math.top_k(dot_similarity, k).indices.numpy()
    # Return matching image paths.
    return [[image_paths[idx] for idx in indices] for indices in results]

query 变量设置为要搜索的图像类型。尝试诸如“一盘健康的食物”、“戴着帽子的女人走在人行道上”、“一只鸟靠近水边”或“野生动物站在田野里”之类的内容。

query = "a family standing next to the ocean on a sandy beach with a surf board"
matches = find_matches(image_embeddings, [query], normalize=True)[0]

plt.figure(figsize=(20, 20))
for i in range(9):
    ax = plt.subplot(3, 3, i + 1)
    plt.imshow(mpimg.imread(matches[i]))
    plt.axis("off")

评估检索质量

为了评估双编码器模型,我们使用标题作为查询。我们使用训练样本外的图像和标题来评估检索质量,使用前 k 准确率。如果给定标题的关联图像在排名前 k 的匹配项中检索到,则计为真预测。

def compute_top_k_accuracy(image_paths, k=100):
    hits = 0
    num_batches = int(np.ceil(len(image_paths) / batch_size))
    for idx in tqdm(range(num_batches)):
        start_idx = idx * batch_size
        end_idx = start_idx + batch_size
        current_image_paths = image_paths[start_idx:end_idx]
        queries = [
            image_path_to_caption[image_path][0] for image_path in current_image_paths
        ]
        result = find_matches(image_embeddings, queries, k)
        hits += sum(
            [
                image_path in matches
                for (image_path, matches) in list(zip(current_image_paths, result))
            ]
        )

    return hits / len(image_paths)


print("Scoring training data...")
train_accuracy = compute_top_k_accuracy(train_image_paths)
print(f"Train accuracy: {round(train_accuracy * 100, 3)}%")

print("Scoring evaluation data...")
