Study Notes

Laboratory Work #7

  • Subject: Neural Networks
  • Topic: Siamese Networks Design
  • Variant: 9
  • Student: Pidhornyy B.V.

KMNIST Dataset Loading

  • Data: KMIST (or similar) dataset loaded
  • Source: Downloaded files
  • Methods: Python libraries (idx2numpy, tensorflow)
  • Data Preprocessing: Images normalized (divided by 255.0), data expanded to 4D (added a dimension to make it a suitable shape for the neural networks)

Pairs Creation Function

  • Purpose: Creates positive and negative image pairs
  • Input: Images (x), labels (y)
  • Output: Pairs of image arrays (array of pairs), corresponding labels (array of labels)
  • Process:
    • Calculates number of unique labels (+1)
    • Iterates through the images
    • For each image, randomly selects a positive pair and a negative pair (ensuring the labels are different)
    • Returns results as numpy arrays

Base Network Creation

  • Function: Creates a convolutional neural network to extract features from images
  • Input Shape: Shape of the image as input
  • Structure: Uses convolutional layers, max pooling, dense layers and batch normalization for feature extraction, applying L2 regularization to avoid overfitting
  • Output: A model that takes an image as input and returns feature embedding of the input image

Siamese Network Definition

  • input_a, input_b = Two inputs for the model to receive two images at the same time to compare them
  • processed_a, processed_b= processed outputs of the base network for input_a and input_b
  • distance = distance function for the feature embedding to find the differences, calculate the absolute value between the features
  • outputs = sigmoid activation function for the distance to classify whether the images are similar or different
    • Model: Siamese network (model combines the 2 inputs – processed outputs, distance and sigmoid activation)

Model Compilation

  • Loss: Binary cross-entropy loss for comparing pairs of images
  • Optimizer: Adam optimization algorithm (specified with learning rate 0.0001)
  • Metrics: Accuracy measurement for calculating the accuracy of the model
