如何使用 Dataset API 读取变长列表的 TFRecords 文件?

How to use Dataset API to read TFRecords file of lists of variant length?

我想使用 Tensorflow 的数据集 API 来读取变长列表的 TFRecords 文件。这是我的代码。

def _int64_feature(value):
    # value must be a numpy array.
    return tf.train.Feature(int64_list=tf.train.Int64List(value=value))
def main1():
    # Write an array to TFrecord.
    # a is an array which contains lists of variant length.
    a = np.array([[0, 54, 91, 153, 177],
                 [0, 50, 89, 147, 196],
                 [0, 38, 79, 157],
                 [0, 49, 89, 147, 177],
                 [0, 32, 73, 145]])

    writer = tf.python_io.TFRecordWriter('file')

    for i in range(a.shape[0]): # i = 0 ~ 4
        x_train = a[i]
        feature = {'i': _int64_feature(np.array([i])), 'data': _int64_feature(x_train)}

        # Create an example protocol buffer
        example = tf.train.Example(features=tf.train.Features(feature=feature))

        # Serialize to string and write on the file
        writer.write(example.SerializeToString())

    writer.close()

    # Check TFRocord file.
    record_iterator = tf.python_io.tf_record_iterator(path='file')
    for string_record in record_iterator:
        example = tf.train.Example()
        example.ParseFromString(string_record)

        i = (example.features.feature['i'].int64_list.value)
        data = (example.features.feature['data'].int64_list.value)
        #data = np.fromstring(data_string, dtype=np.int64)
        print(i, data)

    # Use Dataset API to read the TFRecord file.
    def _parse_function(example_proto):
        keys_to_features = {'i'   :tf.FixedLenFeature([], tf.int64),
                            'data':tf.FixedLenFeature([], tf.int64)}
        parsed_features = tf.parse_single_example(example_proto, keys_to_features)
        return parsed_features['i'], parsed_features['data']

    ds = tf.data.TFRecordDataset('file')
    iterator = ds.map(_parse_function).make_one_shot_iterator()
    i, data = iterator.get_next()
    with tf.Session() as sess:
        print(i.eval())
        print(data.eval())

检查 TFRecord 文件

[0] [0, 54, 91, 153, 177]
[1] [0, 50, 89, 147, 196]
[2] [0, 38, 79, 157]
[3] [0, 49, 89, 147, 177]
[4] [0, 32, 73, 145]

但是当我尝试使用 Dataset API 读取 TFRecord 文件时出现以下错误。

tensorflow.python.framework.errors_impl.InvalidArgumentError: Name: , Key: data, Index: 0. Number of int64 values != expected. Values size: 5 but output shape: []

谢谢。
更新: 我尝试使用以下代码读取带有 Dataset API 的 TFRecord,但都失败了。

def _parse_function(example_proto):
    keys_to_features = {'i'   :tf.FixedLenFeature([], tf.int64),
                        'data':tf.VarLenFeature(tf.int64)}
    parsed_features = tf.parse_single_example(example_proto, keys_to_features)
    return parsed_features['i'], parsed_features['data']

ds = tf.data.TFRecordDataset('file')
iterator = ds.map(_parse_function).make_one_shot_iterator()
i, data = iterator.get_next()
with tf.Session() as sess:
    print(sess.run([i, data]))

def _parse_function(example_proto):
    keys_to_features = {'i'   :tf.VarLenFeature(tf.int64),
                        'data':tf.VarLenFeature(tf.int64)}
    parsed_features = tf.parse_single_example(example_proto, keys_to_features)
    return parsed_features['i'], parsed_features['data']

ds = tf.data.TFRecordDataset('file')
iterator = ds.map(_parse_function).make_one_shot_iterator()
i, data = iterator.get_next()
with tf.Session() as sess:
    print(sess.run([i, data]))

错误很简单。您的 data 不是 FixedLenFeature,而是 VarLenFeature。替换你的行:

 'data':tf.FixedLenFeature([], tf.int64)}

 'data':tf.VarLenFeature(tf.int64)}

此外,当您调用 print(i.eval())print(data.eval()) 时,您将调用迭代器两次。第一个 print 将打印 0,但第二个将打印第二行的值 [ 0, 50, 89, 147, 196]。您可以执行 print(sess.run([i, data])) 从同一行中获取 idata

经过数小时的搜索和尝试,我相信答案已经浮出水面。下面是我的代码。

def _int64_feature(value):
    # value must be a numpy array.
    return tf.train.Feature(int64_list=tf.train.Int64List(value=value.flatten()))

# Write an array to TFrecord.
# a is an array which contains lists of variant length.
a = np.array([[0, 54, 91, 153, 177],
              [0, 50, 89, 147, 196],
              [0, 38, 79, 157],
              [0, 49, 89, 147, 177],
              [0, 32, 73, 145]])

writer = tf.python_io.TFRecordWriter('file')

for i in range(a.shape[0]): # i = 0 ~ 4
    x_train = np.array(a[i])
    feature = {'i'   : _int64_feature(np.array([i])), 
               'data': _int64_feature(x_train)}

    # Create an example protocol buffer
    example = tf.train.Example(features=tf.train.Features(feature=feature))

    # Serialize to string and write on the file
    writer.write(example.SerializeToString())

writer.close()

# Check TFRocord file.
record_iterator = tf.python_io.tf_record_iterator(path='file')
for string_record in record_iterator:
    example = tf.train.Example()
    example.ParseFromString(string_record)

    i = (example.features.feature['i'].int64_list.value)
    data = (example.features.feature['data'].int64_list.value)
    print(i, data)

# Use Dataset API to read the TFRecord file.
filenames = ["file"]
dataset = tf.data.TFRecordDataset(filenames)
def _parse_function(example_proto):
    keys_to_features = {'i':tf.VarLenFeature(tf.int64),
                        'data':tf.VarLenFeature(tf.int64)}
    parsed_features = tf.parse_single_example(example_proto, keys_to_features)
    return tf.sparse_tensor_to_dense(parsed_features['i']), \
           tf.sparse_tensor_to_dense(parsed_features['data'])
# Parse the record into tensors.
dataset = dataset.map(_parse_function)
# Shuffle the dataset
dataset = dataset.shuffle(buffer_size=1)
# Repeat the input indefinitly
dataset = dataset.repeat()  
# Generate batches
dataset = dataset.batch(1)
# Create a one-shot iterator
iterator = dataset.make_one_shot_iterator()
i, data = iterator.get_next()
with tf.Session() as sess:
    print(sess.run([i, data]))
    print(sess.run([i, data]))
    print(sess.run([i, data]))

有几点需要注意。
1. 这个问题很有帮助。
2. tf.VarLenFeature会return SparseTensor,所以需要用tf.sparse_tensor_to_dense转成dense张量。
3、我的代码里,parse_single_example()不能换成parse_example(),烦了我一天。我不知道为什么 parse_example() 不起作用。有知道原因的请赐教
