How to change input values for weight classfication layer.

15 views (last 30 days)
I am using weigth classfication fucntion which given as example in MATALAB documentaion.
But whenI use it in my network it gives error "Error using 'backwardLoss' in Layer weightedClassificationLayer. The function threw an error and could not be executed". I think the error is due to input value but i am not sure where to change these valuse. The weighted classification function works well according to input valuse assigned in example.
the code I am using for weighted classification function
%%%%%%
classdef weightedClassificationLayer < nnet.layer.ClassificationLayer
properties
% Row vector of weights corresponding to the classes in the
% training data.
ClassWeights
end
methods
function layer = weightedClassificationLayer(classWeights, name)
% layer = weightedClassificationLayer(classWeights) creates a
% weighted cross entropy loss layer. classWeights is a row
% vector of weights corresponding to the classes in the order
% that they appear in the training data.
%
% layer = weightedClassificationLayer(classWeights, name)
% additionally specifies the layer name.
% Set class weights.
layer.ClassWeights = classWeights;
% Set layer name.
if nargin == 2
layer.Name = name;
end
% Set layer description
layer.Description = 'Weighted cross entropy';
end
function loss = forwardLoss(layer, Y, T)
% loss = forwardLoss(layer, Y, T) returns the weighted cross
% entropy loss between the predictions Y and the training
% targets T.
N = size(Y,4);
Y = squeeze(Y);
T = squeeze(T);
W = layer.ClassWeights;
loss = -sum(W*(T.*log(Y)))/N;
end
function dLdY = backwardLoss(layer, Y, T)
% dLdX = backwardLoss(layer, Y, T) returns the derivatives of
% the weighted cross entropy loss with respect to the
% predictions Y.
[~,~,K,N] = size(Y);
Y = squeeze(Y);
T = squeeze(T);
W = layer.ClassWeights;
dLdY = -(W'.*T./Y)/N;
dLdY = reshape(dLdY,[1 1 K N]);
end
end
end

This is a way to initialize 'classWeights'
classWeights = 1./countcats(YTrain);
classWeights = classWeights'/mean(classWeights);
and you can use it here:
Network = [
imageInputLayer([256 256 3],"Name","imageinput")
convolution2dLayer([3 3],2,"Name","conv","Padding","same")
reluLayer("Name","relu")
softmaxLayer("Name","softmax")
weightedClassificationLayer(classWeights)
];
I think this should solve the problem.

I am using two different image types( two classes A and B). Each Image has size: 256 by 256 by 3
%%%Start
imds = imageDatastore('Images','IncludeSubfolders',true,'LabelSource','foldernames');
[imdsTrain,imdsValidation] = splitEachLabel(imds,0.7,'randomized');
YTrain=imdsTrain.Labels;
YTrain = removecats(YTrain);
classWeights = 1./countcats(YTrain)
classWeights = classWeights'/mean(classWeights)
Network = [
imageInputLayer([256 256 3],"Name","data")
convolution2dLayer([3 3],16,"Name","conv1","BiasLearnRateFactor",2,"Stride",[4 4])
reluLayer("Name","relu1")
crossChannelNormalizationLayer(5,"Name","norm1","K",1)
maxPooling2dLayer([3 3],"Name","pool1","Stride",[2 2])
convolution2dLayer([3 3],32,"Name","conv","Padding","same")
reluLayer("Name","relu5")
maxPooling2dLayer([3 3],"Name","pool5","Stride",[2 2])
fullyConnectedLayer(2,"Name","fc8","BiasLearnRateFactor",2)
softmaxLayer("Name","prob")
weightedClassificationLayer("classWeights")
];
Options = trainingOptions('sgdm', ...
'MiniBatchSize',5, ...
'MaxEpochs',3, ...
'Shuffle','every-epoch', ...
'InitialLearnRate',1e-4, ...
'ValidationData',imdsValidation, ...
'ValidationFrequency',2100, ...
'Verbose',true, ...
'Plots','training-progress');
TrainedNetwork = trainNetwork(imdsTrain,Network,Options);

Hi Raza Ali,
Can you mention how are you using 'weightedClassificationLayer' in your network? Assuming you want to know the inputs to the constructor of this class:
'classWeights' and the layer's 'name' are the only inputs.
'classWeights'-. classWeights is a row vector of weights corresponding to the classes in the order that they appear in the training data.
'name' -additionally specifies the layer name.
Also this example might be of help
Hope this helps!

'ClassWeights', classWeights is a row vector of weights corresponding to the classes in the order that they appear in the training data.
how about the train data is shuffle? how to do that?

Try to use classWeights' instead of classWeights
And check if it works
