tfp.bijectors.Glow

Implements the Glow Bijector from Kingma & Dhariwal (2018)[1].

Inherits From: Composition, Bijector

Overview: Glow is a chain of bijectors which transforms a rank-1 tensor (vector) into a rank-3 tensor (e.g. an RGB image). Glow does this by chaining together an alternating series of "Blocks," "Squeezes," and "Exits" which are each themselves special chains of other bijectors. The intended use of Glow is as part of a tfp.distributions.TransformedDistribution, in which the base distribution over the vector space is used to generate samples in the image space. In the paper, an Independent Normal distribution is used as the base distribution.

A "Block" (implemented as the GlowBlock Bijector) performs much of the transformations which allow glow to produce sophisticated and complex mappings between the image space and the latent space and therefore achieve rich image generation performance. A Block is composed of num_steps_per_block steps, which are each implemented as a Chain containing an ActivationNormalization (ActNorm) bijector, followed by an (invertible) OneByOneConv bijector, and finally a coupling bijector. The coupling bijector is an instance of a RealNVP bijector, and uses the coupling_bijector_fn function to instantiate the coupling bijector function which is given to the RealNVP. This function returns a bijector which defines the coupling (e.g. Shift(Scale) for affine coupling or Shift for additive coupling).

A "Squeeze" converts spatial features into channel features. It is implemented using the Expand bijector. The difference in names is due to the fact that the forward function from glow is meant to ultimately correspond to sampling from a tfp.util.TransformedDistribution object, which would use Expand (Squeeze is just Invert(Expand)). The Expand bijector takes a tensor with shape [H, W, C] and returns a tensor with shape [2H, 2W, C / 4], such that each 2x2x1 spatial tile in the output is composed from a single 1x1x4 tile in the input tensor, as depicted in the figure below.

                     Forward pass (Expand)
                    ______        __________
                    \     \       \    \    \
                    \\     \ ----> \  1 \  2 \
                    \\\__1__\       \____\____\
                    \\\__2__\        \    \    \
                     \\__3__\  <----  \  3 \  4 \
                      \__4__\          \____\____\
                         Inverse pass (Squeeze)

This is implemented using a chain of Reshape -> Transpose -> Reshape bijectors. Note that on an inverse pass through the bijector, each Squeeze will cause the width/height of the image to decrease by a factor of 2. Therefore, the input image must be evenly divisible by 2 at least num_glow_blocks times, since it will pass through a Squeeze step that many times.

An "Exit" is simply a junction at which some of the tensor "exits" from the glow bijector and therefore avoids any further alteration. Each exit is implemented as a Blockwise bijector, where some channels are given to the rest of the glow model, and the rest are given to a bypass implemented using the Identity bijector. The fraction of channels to be removed at each exit is determined by the grab_after_block arg, indicates the fraction of remaining channels which join the identity bypass. The fraction is converted to an integer number of channels by multiplying by the remaining number of channels and rounding.

Additionally, at each exit, glow couples the tensor exiting the highway to the tensor continuing onward. This makes small scale features in the image dependent on larger scale features, since the larger scale features dictate the mean and scale of the distribution over the smaller scale features. This coupling is done similarly to the Coupling bijector in each step of the flow (i.e. using a RealNVP bijector). However for the exit bijector, the coupling is instantiated using exit_bijector_fn rather than coupling bijector fn, allowing for different behaviors between standard coupling and exit coupling. Also note that because the exit utilizes a coupling bijector, there are two special cases (all channels exiting and no channels exiting).

The full Glow bijector consists of num_glow_blocks Blocks each of which contains num_steps_per_block steps. Each step implements a coupling using bijector_coupling_fn. Between blocks, glow converts between spatial pixels and channels using the Expand Bijector, and splits channels out of the bijector using the Exit Bijector. The channels which have exited continue onward through Identity bijectors and those which have not exited are given to the next block. After passing through all Blocks, the tensor is reshaped to a rank-1 tensor with the same number of elements. This is where the distribution will be defined.

A schematic diagram of Glow is shown below. The forward function of the bijector starts from the bottom and goes upward, while the inverse function starts from the top and proceeds downward.

The default configuration for glow is meant to replicate the architecture in [1] for generating images from CIFAR-10.

Example usage:


from functools import reduce
from operator import mul
import tensorflow as tf
import tensorflow_datasets as tfds
import tensorflow_probability as tfp
tfb = tfp.bijectors
tfd = tfp.distributions

data, info = tfds.load('cifar10', with_info=True)
train_data, test_data = data['train'], data['test']

preprocess = lambda x: tf.cast(x['image'], tf.float32)
train_data = train_data.batch(4).map(preprocess)
test_data = test_data.batch(4).map(preprocess)

x = next(iter(train_data))

glow = tfb.Glow(output_shape=info.features['image'].shape,
                coupling_bijector_fn=tfb.GlowDefaultNetwork,
                exit_bijector_fn=tfb.GlowDefaultExitNetwork)

z_shape = glow.inverse_event_shape(info.features['image'].shape)

pz = tfd.Sample(tfd.Normal(0., 1.), z_shape)

# Calling glow on distribution p(z) creates our glow distribution over images.
px = glow(pz)

# Take samples from the distribution to get images from your dataset
images = px.sample(4)

# Map images to positions in the distribution
z = glow.inverse(x)

# Get the z's corresponding to each spatial scale. To do this, we have to
# find out how many zs are passed through blockwise at each stage that were
# not passed at the previous stage. This is encoded in the second element of
# each list of blockwise splits. However because the bijector iteratively
# converts spatial pixels to channels, we also need to multiply the size of
# that second element by the number of spatial-to-channel conversions that the
# tensor receives after exiting (including after any alteration).
ztake = [bs[1] * 4**(i+2) for i, bs in enumerate(glow.blockwise_splits)]
total_z_taken = sum(ztake)
split_sizes = [z_shape.as_list()[0]-total_z_taken] + ztake
zsplits = tf.split(z, num_or_size_splits=split_sizes, axis=-1)

output_shape A list of integers, specifying the event shape of the output, of the bijectors forward pass (the image). Specified as [H, W, C]. Default Value: (32, 32, 3)
num_glow_blocks An integer, specifying how many downsampling levels to include in the model. This must divide equally into both H and W, otherwise the bijector would not be invertible. Default Value: 3
num_steps_per_block An integer specifying how many Affine Coupling and 1x1 convolution layers to include at each level of the spatial hierarchy. Default Value: 32 (i.e. the value used in the original glow paper).
coupling_bijector_fn A function which takes the argument input_shape and returns a callable neural network (e.g. a keras.Sequential). The network should either return a tensor with the same event shape as input_shape (this will employ additive coupling), a tensor with the same height and width as input_shape but twice the number of channels (this will employ affine coupling), or a bijector which takes in a tensor with event shape input_shape, and returns a tensor with shape input_shape.
exit_bijector_fn Similar to coupling_bijector_fn, exit_bijector_fn is a function which takes the argument input_shape and output_chan and returns a callable neural network. The neural network it returns should take a tensor of shape input_shape as the input, and return one of three options: A tensor with output_chan channels, a tensor with 2 * output_chan channels, or a bijector. Additional details can be found in the documentation for ExitBijector.
grab_after_block A tuple of floats, specifying what fraction of the remaining channels to remove following each glow block. Glow will take the integer floor of this number multiplied by the remaining number of channels. The default is half at each spatial hierarchy. Default value: None (this will take out half of the channels after each block.
use_actnorm A bool deciding whether or not to use actnorm. Data-dependent initialization is used to initialize this layer. Default value: False
seed A seed to control randomness in the 1x1 convolution initialization. Default value: None (i.e., non-reproducible sampling).
validate_args Python bool indicating whether arguments should be checked for correctness. Default value: False
name Python str, name given to ops managed by this object. Default value: 'glow'.

Methods

copy

View source

Creates a copy of the bijector.

Args
**override_parameters_kwargs String/value dictionary of initialization arguments to override with new values.

Returns
bijector A new instance of type(self) initialized from the union of self.parameters and override_parameters_kwargs, i.e., dict(self.parameters, **override_parameters_kwargs).

experimental_batch_shape

View source

Returns the batch shape of this bijector for inputs of the given rank.

The batch shape of a bijector decribes the set of distinct transformations it represents on events of a given size. For example: the bijector tfb.Scale([1., 2.]) has batch shape [2] for scalar events (event_ndims = 0), because applying it to a scalar event produces two scalar outputs, the result of two different scaling transformations. The same bijector has batch shape [] for vector events, because applying it to a vector produces (via elementwise multiplication) a single vector output.

Bijectors that operate independently on multiple state parts, such as tfb.JointMap, must broadcast to a coherent batch shape. Some events may not be valid: for example, the bijector tfd.JointMap([tfb.Scale([1., 2.]), tfb.Scale([1., 2., 3.])]) does not produce a valid batch shape when event_ndims = [0, 0], since the batch shapes of the two parts are inconsistent. The same bijector does define valid batch shapes of [], [2], and [3] if event_ndims is [1, 1], [0, 1], or [1, 0], respectively.

Since transforming a single event produces a scalar log-det-Jacobian, the batch shape of a bijector with non-constant Jacobian is expected to equal the shape of forward_log_det_jacobian(x, event_ndims=x_event_ndims) or inverse_log_det_jacobian(y, event_ndims=y_event_ndims), for x or y of the specified ndims.

Args
x_event_ndims Optional Python int (structure) number of dimensions in a probabilistic event passed to forward; this must be greater than or equal to self.forward_min_event_ndims. If None, defaults to self.forward_min_event_ndims. Mutually exclusive with y_event_ndims. Default value: None.
y_event_ndims Optional Python int (structure) number of dimensions in a probabilistic event passed to inverse; this must be greater than or equal to self.inverse_min_event_ndims. Mutually exclusive with x_event_ndims. Default value: None.

Returns

experimental_batch_shape_tensor

View source

Returns the batch shape of this bijector for inputs of the given rank.

The batch shape of a bijector decribes the set of distinct transformations it represents on events of a given size. For example: the bijector tfb.Scale([1., 2.]) has batch shape [2] for scalar events (event_ndims = 0), because applying it to a scalar event produces two scalar outputs, the result of two different scaling transformations. The same bijector has batch shape [] for vector events, because applying it to a vector produces (via elementwise multiplication) a single vector output.

Bijectors that operate independently on multiple state parts, such as tfb.JointMap, must broadcast to a coherent batch shape. Some events may not be valid: for example, the bijector tfd.JointMap([tfb.Scale([1., 2.]), tfb.Scale([1., 2., 3.])]) does not produce a valid batch shape when event_ndims = [0, 0], since the batch shapes of the two parts are inconsistent. The same bijector does define valid batch shapes of [], [2], and [3] if event_ndims is [1, 1], [0, 1], or [1, 0], respectively.

Since transforming a single event produces a scalar log-det-Jacobian, the batch shape of a bijector with non-constant Jacobian is expected to equal the shape of forward_log_det_jacobian(x, event_ndims=x_event_ndims) or inverse_log_det_jacobian(y, event_ndims=y_event_ndims), for x or y of the specified ndims.

Args
x_event_ndims Optional Python int (structure) number of dimensions in a probabilistic event passed to forward; this must be greater than or equal to self.forward_min_event_ndims. If None, defaults to self.forward_min_event_ndims. Mutually exclusive with y_event_ndims. Default value: None.
y_event_ndims Optional Python int (structure) number of dimensions in a probabilistic event passed to inverse; this must be greater than or equal to self.inverse_min_event_ndims. Mutually exclusive with x_event_ndims. Default value: None.

Returns
batch_shape_tensor integer Tensor batch shape of this bijector for a value with the given event rank.

experimental_compute_density_correction

View source

Density correction for this transformation wrt the tangent space, at x.

Subclasses of Bijector may call the most specific applicable method of TangentSpace, based on whether the transformation is dimension-preserving, coordinate-wise, a projection, or something more general. The backward-compatible assumption is that the transformation is dimension-preserving (goes from R^n to R^n).

Args
x Tensor (structure). The point at which to calculate the density.
tangent_space TangentSpace or one of its subclasses. The tangent to the support manifold at x.
backward_compat bool specifying whether to assume that the Bijector is dimension-preserving.
**kwargs Optional keyword arguments forwarded to tangent space methods.

Returns

Raises
TypeError if backward_compat is False but no method of TangentSpace has been called explicitly.

Returns the forward Bijector evaluation, i.e., X = g(Y).

Args
x Tensor (structure). The input to the 'forward' evaluation.
name The name to give this op.
**kwargs Named arguments forwarded to subclass implementation.

Returns

Raises
TypeError if self.dtype is specified and x.dtype is not self.dtype.
NotImplementedError if _forward is not implemented.

forward_dtype

Returns the dtype returned by forward for the provided input.

forward_event_ndims

View source

Returns the number of event dimensions produced by forward.

Args
event_ndims Structure of Python and/or Tensor ints, and/or None values. The structure should match that of self.forward_min_event_ndims, and all non-None values must be greater than or equal to the corresponding value in self.forward_min_event_ndims.
**kwargs Optional keyword arguments forwarded to nested bijectors.

Returns
forward_event_ndims Structure of integers and/or None values matching self.inverse_min_event_ndims. These are computed using 'prefer static' semantics: if any inputs are None, some or all of the outputs may be None, indicating that the output dimension could not be inferred (conversely, if all inputs are non-None, all outputs will be non-None). If all input event_ndims are Python ints, all of the (non-None) outputs will be Python ints; otherwise, some or all of the outputs may be Tensor ints.

Args
x Tensor (structure). The input to the 'forward' Jacobian determinant evaluation.
event_ndims Optional number of dimensions in the probabilistic events being transformed; this must be greater than or equal to self.forward_min_event_ndims. If event_ndims is specified, the log Jacobian determinant is summed to produce a scalar log-determinant for each event. Otherwise (if event_ndims is None), no reduction is performed. Multipart bijectors require structured event_ndims, such that the batch rank rank(y[i]) - event_ndims[i] is the same for all elements i of the structured input. In most cases (with the exception of tfb.JointMap) they further require that event_ndims[i] - self.inverse_min_event_ndims[i] is the same for all elements i of the structured input. Default value: None (equivalent to self.forward_min_event_ndims).
name The name to give this op.
**kwargs Named arguments forwarded to subclass implementation.

Returns
Tensor (structure), if this bijector is injective. If not injective this is not implemented.

Raises
TypeError if y's dtype is incompatible with the expected output dtype.

**kwargs Optional keyword arguments forwarded to nested bijectors.

Returns
inverse_event_ndims Structure of integers and/or None values matching self.forward_min_event_ndims. These are computed using 'prefer static' semantics: if any inputs are None, some or all of the outputs may be None, indicating that the output dimension could not be inferred (conversely, if all inputs are non-None, all outputs will be non-None). If all input event_ndims are Python ints, all of the (non-None) outputs will be Python ints; otherwise, some or all of the outputs may be Tensor ints.

inverse_log_det_jacobian

View source

Returns the (log o det o Jacobian o inverse)(y).

Mathematically, returns: log(det(dX/dY))(Y). (Recall that: X=g^{-1}(Y).)

Note that forward_log_det_jacobian is the negative of this function, evaluated at g^{-1}(y).

Args
y Tensor (structure). The input to the 'inverse' Jacobian determinant evaluation.
event_ndims Optional number of dimensions in the probabilistic events being transformed; this must be greater than or equal to self.inverse_min_event_ndims. If event_ndims is specified, the log Jacobian determinant is summed to produce a scalar log-determinant for each event. Otherwise (if event_ndims is None), no reduction is performed. Multipart bijectors require structured event_ndims, such that the batch rank rank(y[i]) - event_ndims[i] is the same for all elements i of the structured input. In most cases (with the exception of tfb.JointMap) they further require that event_ndims[i] - self.inverse_min_event_ndims[i] is the same for all elements i of the structured input. Default value: None (equivalent to self.inverse_min_event_ndims).
name The name to give this op.
**kwargs Named arguments forwarded to subclass implementation.

Returns
ildj Tensor, if this bijector is injective. If not injective, returns the tuple of local log det Jacobians, log(det(Dg_i^{-1}(y))), where g_i is the restriction of g to the ith partition Di.

Raises
TypeError if x's dtype is incompatible with the expected inverse-dtype.
NotImplementedError if _inverse_log_det_jacobian is not implemented.
ValueError if the value of event_ndims is not valid for this bijector.

parameter_properties

View source

Returns a dict mapping constructor arg names to property annotations.

This dict should include an entry for each of the bijector's Tensor-valued constructor arguments.

Args
dtype Optional float dtype to assume for continuous-valued parameters. Some constraining bijectors require advance knowledge of the dtype because certain constants (e.g., tfb.Softplus.low) must be instantiated with the same dtype as the values to be transformed.

Returns
parameter_properties A str ->tfp.python.internal.parameter_properties.ParameterPropertiesdict mapping constructor argument names toParameterProperties` instances.

with_name_scope

Decorator to automatically enter the module name scope.

class MyModule(tf.Module):
  @tf.Module.with_name_scope
  def __call__(self, x):
    if not hasattr(self, &#x27;w'):
      self.w = tf.Variable(tf.random.normal([x.shape[1], 3]))
    return tf.matmul(x, self.w)

Using the above module would produce tf.Variables and tf.Tensors whose names included the module name:

mod = MyModule()
mod(tf.ones([1, 2]))
<tf.Tensor: shape=(1, 3), dtype=float32, numpy=..., dtype=float32)>
mod.w
<tf.Variable &#x27;my_module/Variable:0' shape=(2, 3) dtype=float32,
numpy=..., dtype=float32)>

Args
method The method to wrap.

Returns
The original method wrapped such that it enters the module's name scope.

__call__

View source

Applies or composes the Bijector, depending on input type.

This is a convenience function which applies the Bijector instance in three different ways, depending on the input:

  1. If the input is a tfd.Distribution instance, return tfd.TransformedDistribution(distribution=input, bijector=self).
  2. If the input is a tfb.Bijector instance, return tfb.Chain([self, input]).
  3. Otherwise, return self.forward(input)

Args
value A tfd.Distribution, tfb.Bijector, or a (structure of) Tensor.
name Python str name given to ops created by this function.
**kwargs Additional keyword arguments passed into the created tfd.TransformedDistribution, tfb.Bijector, or self.forward.

Returns
composition A tfd.TransformedDistribution if the input was a tfd.Distribution, a tfb.Chain if the input was a tfb.Bijector, or a (structure of) Tensor computed by self.forward.

Examples

sigmoid = tfb.Reciprocal()(
    tfb.Shift(shift=1.)(
      tfb.Exp()(
        tfb.Scale(scale=-1.))))
# ==> `tfb.Chain([
#         tfb.Reciprocal(),
#         tfb.Shift(shift=1.),
#         tfb.Exp(),
#         tfb.Scale(scale=-1.),
#      ])`  # ie, `tfb.Sigmoid()`

log_normal = tfb.Exp()(tfd.Normal(0, 1))
# ==> `tfd.TransformedDistribution(tfd.Normal(0, 1), tfb.Exp())`

tfb.Exp()([-1., 0., 1.])
# ==> tf.exp([-1., 0., 1.])
