Python | Classify Handwritten Digits with Tensorflow (original) (raw)

Classifying handwritten digits is the basic problem of the machine learning and can be solved in many ways here we will implement them by using TensorFlow
Using a Linear Classifier Algorithm with tf.contrib.learn
linear classifier achieves the classification of handwritten digits by making a choice based on the value of a linear combination of the features also known as feature values and is typically presented to the machine in a vector called a feature vector.
Modules required :
NumPy:

$ pip install numpy

Matplotlib:

$ pip install matplotlib

Tensorflow:

$ pip install tensorflow

Steps to follow

Step 1 : Importing all dependence

Python3 `

import numpy as np import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import tensorflow as tf

learn = tf.contrib.learn

tf.logging.set_verbosity(tf.logging.ERROR)

`

Step 2 : Importing Dataset using MNIST Data

Python3 `

mnist = learn.datasets.load_dataset('mnist') data = mnist.train.images labels = np.asarray(mnist.train.labels, dtype=np.int32) test_data = mnist.test.images test_labels = np.asarray(mnist.test.labels, dtype=np.int32)

`

after this step a dataset of mnist will be downloaded.
output :

Extracting MNIST-data/train-images-idx3-ubyte.gz Extracting MNIST-data/train-labels-idx1-ubyte.gz Extracting MNIST-data/t10k-images-idx3-ubyte.gz Extracting MNIST-data/t10k-labels-idx1-ubyte.gz

Step 3 : Making dataset

Python3 `

max_examples = 10000 data = data[:max_examples] labels = labels[:max_examples]

`

Step 4 : Displaying dataset using MatplotLib

Python3 `

def display(i): img = test_data[i] plt.title('label : {}'.format(test_labels[i])) plt.imshow(img.reshape((28, 28)))

image in TensorFlow is 28 by 28 px

display(0)

`

To display data we can use this function - display(0)
output :

Step 5 : Fitting data, using linear classifier

Python3 `

feature_columns = learn.infer_real_valued_columns_from_input(data) classifier = learn.LinearClassifier(n_classes=10, feature_columns=feature_columns) classifier.fit(data, labels, batch_size=100, steps=1000)

`

Step 6 : Evaluate accuracy

Python3 `

classifier.evaluate(test_data, test_labels) print(classifier.evaluate(test_data, test_labels)["accuracy"])

`

Output :

0.9137

Step 7 : Predicting data

Python3 `

prediction = classifier.predict(np.array([test_data[0]], dtype=float), as_iterable=False) print("prediction : {}, label : {}".format(prediction, test_labels[0]) )

`

Output :

prediction : [7], label : 7

Full Code for classifying handwritten

Python3 `

importing libraries

import numpy as np import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import tensorflow as tf

learn = tf.contrib.learn tf.logging.set_verbosity(tf.logging.ERROR)\

importing dataset using MNIST

this is how mnist is used mnist contain test and train dataset

mnist = learn.datasets.load_dataset('mnist') data = mnist.train.images labels = np.asarray(mnist.train.labels, dtype = np.int32) test_data = mnist.test.images test_labels = np.asarray(mnist.test.labels, dtype = np.int32)

max_examples = 10000 data = data[:max_examples] labels = labels[:max_examples]

displaying dataset using Matplotlib

def display(i): img = test_data[i] plt.title('label : {}'.format(test_labels[i])) plt.imshow(img.reshape((28, 28)))

img in tf is 28 by 28 px

fitting linear classifier

feature_columns = learn.infer_real_valued_columns_from_input(data) classifier = learn.LinearClassifier(n_classes = 10, feature_columns = feature_columns) classifier.fit(data, labels, batch_size = 100, steps = 1000)

Evaluate accuracy

classifier.evaluate(test_data, test_labels) print(classifier.evaluate(test_data, test_labels)["accuracy"])

prediction = classifier.predict(np.array([test_data[0]], dtype=float), as_iterable=False) print("prediction : {}, label : {}".format(prediction, test_labels[0]) )

if prediction == test_labels[0]: display(0)

Using Deep learning with tf.keras
Deep learning is a subpart of machine learning and artificial intelligence which is also known as deep neural network this networks capable of learning unsupervised from provided data which is unorganized or unlabeled. today, we will implement a neural network in TensorFlow to classify handwritten digit.
Modules required :
NumPy:

$ pip install numpy

Matplotlib:

$ pip install matplotlib

Tensorflow:

$ pip install tensorflow

Steps to follow

Step 1 : Importing all dependence

Python3 `

import tensorflow as tf import numpy as np import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

`

Step 2 : Import data and normalize it

Python3 `

mnist = tf.keras.datasets.mnist (x_train,y_train) , (x_test,y_test) = mnist.load_data()

x_train = tf.keras.utils.normalize(x_train,axis=1) x_test = tf.keras.utils.normalize(x_test,axis=1)

`

Step 3 : view data

Python3 `

def draw(n): plt.imshow(n,cmap=plt.cm.binary) plt.show()

draw(x_train[0])

`

Step 4 : make a neural network and train it

Python3 `

#there are two types of models #sequential is most common, why?

model = tf.keras.models.Sequential()

model.add(tf.keras.layers.Flatten(input_shape=(28, 28))) #reshape

model.add(tf.keras.layers.Dense(128,activation=tf.nn.relu)) model.add(tf.keras.layers.Dense(128,activation=tf.nn.relu)) model.add(tf.keras.layers.Dense(10,activation=tf.nn.softmax))

model.compile(optimizer='adam', loss='sparse_categorical_crossentropy', metrics=['accuracy'] ) model.fit(x_train,y_train,epochs=3)

`

Step 5 : check model accuracy and loss

Python3 `

val_loss,val_acc = model.evaluate(x_test,y_test) print("loss-> ",val_loss,"\nacc-> ",val_acc)

`

Step 6 : prediction using model

Python3 `

predictions=model.predict([x_test]) print('label -> ',y_test[2]) print('prediction -> ',np.argmax(predictions[2]))

draw(x_test[2])

`

saving and testing model

saving the model

Python3 `

#saving the model

.h5 or .model can be used

model.save('epic_num_reader.h5')

`

loading the saved model

Python3 `

new_model = tf.keras.models.load_model('epic_num_reader.h5')

`

prediction using new model

Python3 `

predictions=new_model.predict([x_test])

print('label -> ',y_test[2]) print('prediction -> ',np.argmax(predictions[2]))

draw(x_test[2])
