Variational autoencoder was proposed in 2013 by Knigma and Welling at Google and Qualcomm. A variational autoencoder (VAE) provides a probabilistic manner for describing an observation in latent space. Thus, rather than building an encoder that outputs a single value to describe each latent state attribute, we’ll formulate our encoder to describe a probability distribution for each latent attribute.

It has many applications such as data compression, synthetic data creation etc.

Architecture:

Autoencoders are a type of neural network that learns the data encodings from the dataset in an unsupervised way. It basically contains two parts: the first one is an encoder which is similar to the convolution neural network except for the last layer. The aim of the encoder to learn efficient data encoding from the dataset and pass it into a bottleneck architecture. The other part of the autoencoder is a decoder that uses latent space in the bottleneck layer to regenerate the images similar to the dataset. These results backpropagate from the neural network in the form of the loss function.

Variational autoencoder is different from autoencoder in a way such that it provides a statistic manner for describing the samples of the dataset in latent space. Therefore, in variational autoencoder, the encoder outputs a probability distribution in the bottleneck layer instead of a single output value.

Mathematics behind variational autoencoder:

Variational autoencoder uses KL-divergence as its loss function, the goal of this is to minimize the difference between a supposed distribution and original distribution of dataset.

Suppose we have a distribution z and we want to generate the observation x from it.  In other words, we want to calculate 

p\left( {z|x} \right)
 

We can do it by following way:

p\left( {z|x} \right) = \frac{{p\left( {x|z} \right)p\left( z \right)}}{{p\left( x \right)}}
 

But, the calculation of p(x) can be quite difficult

p\left( x \right) = \int {p\left( {x|z} \right)p\left(z\right)dz}
 

This usually makes it an intractable distribution. Hence, we need to approximate p(z|x) to q(z|x) to make it a tractable distribution. To better approximate p(z|x) to q(z|x), we will minimize the KL-divergence loss which calculates how similar two distributions are:

\min KL\left( {q\left( {z|x} \right)||p\left( {z|x} \right)} \right)
 

By simplifying, the above minimization problem is equivalent to the following maximization problem :

{E_{q\left( {z|x} \right)}}\log p\left( {x|z} \right) - KL\left( {q\left( {z|x} \right)||p\left( z \right)} \right)
 

The first term represents the reconstruction likelihood and the other term ensures that our learned distribution q is similar to the true prior distribution p.

 

Thus our total loss consists of two terms, one is reconstruction error and other is KL-divergence loss:

Loss = L\left( {x, \hat x} \right) + \sum\limits_j {KL\left( {{q_j}\left( {z|x} \right)||p\left( z \right)} \right)}
 

Implementation:

 

In this implementation, we will be using the Fashion-MNIST dataset, this dataset is already available in keras.datasets API, so we don’t need to add or upload manually.

 

  • First, we need to import the necessary packages to our python environment. we will be using Keras package with tensorflow as a backend.

Code: 

python3




# code
import numpy as np
import tensorflow as tf
from tensorflow import keras
from tensorflow.keras import Input, Model
from tensorflow.keras.layers import Layer, Conv2D, Flatten, Dense, Reshape, Conv2DTranspose
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

  • For variational autoencoders, we need to define the architecture of two parts encoder and decoder but first, we will define the bottleneck layer of architecture, the sampling layer.
Code: 
python3



# this sampling layer is the bottleneck layer of variational autoencoder,
# it uses the output from two dense layers z_mean and z_log_var as input,
# convert them into normal distribution and pass them to the decoder layer
class Sampling(Layer):
 
    def call(self, inputs):
        z_mean, z_log_var = inputs
        batch = tf.shape(z_mean)[0]
        dim = tf.shape(z_mean)[1]
        epsilon = tf.keras.backend.random_normal(shape =(batch, dim))
        return z_mean + tf.exp(0.5 * z_log_var) * epsilon
  • Now, we define the architecture of encoder part of our autoencoder, this part takes images as input and encodes their representation in the Sampling layer.
Code: 
python3



# Define Encoder Model
latent_dim = 2
 
encoder_inputs = Input(shape =(28, 28, 1))
x = Conv2D(32, 3, activation ="relu", strides = 2, padding ="same")(encoder_inputs)
x = Conv2D(64, 3, activation ="relu", strides = 2, padding ="same")(x)
x = Flatten()(x)
x = Dense(16, activation ="relu")(x)
z_mean = Dense(latent_dim, name ="z_mean")(x)
z_log_var = Dense(latent_dim, name ="z_log_var")(x)
z = Sampling()([z_mean, z_log_var])
encoder = Model(encoder_inputs, [z_mean, z_log_var, z], name ="encoder")
encoder.summary()
Model: "encoder"

  • Now, we define the architecture of decoder part of our autoencoder, this part takes the output of the sampling layer as input and output an image of size (28, 28, 1) .
Code: 
python3



# Define Decoder Architecture

  • In this step, we combine the model and define the training procedure with loss functions.
Code: 
python3



# this class takes encoder and decoder models and
# define the complete variational autoencoder architecture
class VAE(keras.Model):
    def __init__(self, encoder, decoder, **kwargs):
        super(VAE, self).__init__(**kwargs)
        self.encoder = encoder
        self.decoder = decoder
 
    def train_step(self, data):
        if isinstance(data, tuple):
            data = data[0]
        with tf.GradientTape() as tape:
            z_mean, z_log_var, z = encoder(data)
            reconstruction = decoder(z)
            reconstruction_loss = tf.reduce_mean(
                keras.losses.binary_crossentropy(data, reconstruction)
            )
            reconstruction_loss *= 28 * 28
            kl_loss = 1 + z_log_var - tf.square(z_mean) - tf.exp(z_log_var)
            kl_loss = tf.reduce_mean(kl_loss)
            kl_loss *= -0.5
            total_loss = reconstruction_loss + kl_loss
        grads = tape.gradient(total_loss, self.trainable_weights)
        self.optimizer.apply_gradients(zip(grads, self.trainable_weights))
        return {
            "loss": total_loss,
            "reconstruction_loss": reconstruction_loss,
            "kl_loss": kl_loss,
        }
  • Now it’s the right time to train our variational autoencoder model, we will train it for 100 epochs.  But first we need to import the fashion MNIST dataset.
Code: 
python3



# load fashion mnist dataset  from  keras.dataset API
(x_train, _), (x_test, _) = keras.datasets.fashion_mnist.load_data()
fmnist_images = np.concatenate([x_train, x_test], axis = 0)
# expand dimension to add  a color map dimension
fmnist_images = np.expand_dims(fmnist_images, -1).astype("float32") / 255
 
# compile and train the model
vae = VAE(encoder, decoder)
vae.compile(optimizer ='rmsprop')
vae.fit(fmnist_images, epochs = 100, batch_size = 64)

  • In this step, we display training results, we will be displaying these results according to their values in latent space vectors.

python3

    # of images classes in the latent space

  • To get a more clear view of our representational latent vectors values, we will be plotting the scatter plot of training data on the basis of their values of corresponding latent dimensions generated from the encoder .
Code: 
python3



def plot_label_clusters(encoder, decoder, data, test_lab):
    z_mean, _, _ = encoder.predict(data)
    plt.figure(figsize =(12, 10))
    sc = plt.scatter(z_mean[:, 0], z_mean[:, 1], c = test_lab)
    cbar = plt.colorbar(sc, ticks = range(10))
    cbar.ax.set_yticklabels([labels.get(i) for i in range(10)])
    plt.xlabel("z[0]")
    plt.ylabel("z[1]")
    plt.show()
