使用MindSpore的线性神经网络拟合非线性函数

技术背景

在前面的几篇博客中，我们分别介绍了MindSpore的CPU版本在Docker下的安装与配置方案、MindSpore的线性函数拟合以及MindSpore后来新推出的GPU版本的Docker编程环境解决方案。这里我们在线性拟合的基础上，再介绍一下MindSpore中使用线性神经网络来拟合多变量非线性函数的解决方案。

环境配置

在按照这篇博客中的方法进行安装和配置之后，可以在本地的docker镜像仓库中找到一个mindspore的镜像：

[dechin-manjaro gitlab]# docker images
REPOSITORY                                                 TAG                  IMAGE ID     
mindspore                                                  latest               3a6951d9b900 

由于运行Docker容器的时候最好是可以绑定本地的一个目录，所以可以用pwd先看一下本地的执行目录：

[dechin@dechin-manjaro mindspore]$ pwd
/home/dechin/projects/2021-python/mindspore

然后可以根据上述的名称和路径信息，创建一个新的docker容器环境：

[dechin-manjaro mindspore]# docker run -it --rm -v /home/dechin/projects/2021-python/mindspore:/home mindspore

这里运行的时候加了--rm选项，表示关闭容器后就删除容器，是一个一次性容器的选项。如果不加这个选项的话，会在docker ps -a下看到众多的被保存下来的容器环境，这会浪费不必要的资源。因此如果不对环境进行变更的话，建议还是加上--rm选项。

非线性函数拟合

在前面这篇博客中我们所拟合的是一个简单的线性函数：

\[y=ax+b \]

那么在这里我们先考虑一个最简单的非线性函数的场景：

\[y=ax^2+b \]

同样的还是两个参数，需要注意的是，如果要用线性神经网络来拟合非线性的函数，那么在给出参数的时候就要给出非线性的入参，以下是完整的代码（如果需要展示结果更好看的话可以参考上面提到的线性函数拟合的博客，这里我们为了提速，删除了很多非比要的模块）：

# test_nonlinear.py

from mindspore import context
context.set_context(mode=context.GRAPH_MODE, device_target="CPU")
import numpy as np
from mindspore import dataset as ds
from mindspore import nn, Tensor, Model
import time
from mindspore.train.callback import Callback, LossMonitor

def get_data(num, a=2.0, b=3.0):
    for _ in range(num):
        x = np.random.uniform(-1.0, 1.0)
        noise = np.random.normal(0, 0.03)
        z = a * x ** 2 + b + noise
        # 返回数据的时候就返回数据的平方
        yield np.array([x**2]).astype(np.float32), np.array([z]).astype(np.float32)

def create_dataset(num_data, batch_size=16, repeat_size=1):
    input_data = ds.GeneratorDataset(list(get_data(num_data)), column_names=['x','z'])
    input_data = input_data.batch(batch_size)
    input_data = input_data.repeat(repeat_size)
    return input_data

data_number = 1600 # 一共产生1600组数据
batch_number = 16 # 分为16组分别进行优化
repeat_number = 2 # 重复2次，可以取到更低的损失函数值

ds_train = create_dataset(data_number, batch_size=batch_number, repeat_size=repeat_number)
dict_datasets = next(ds_train.create_dict_iterator())

class LinearNet(nn.Cell):
    def __init__(self):
        super(LinearNet, self).__init__()
        self.fc = nn.Dense(1, 1, 0.02, 0.02)

    def construct(self, x):
        x = self.fc(x)
        return x

net = LinearNet()
model_params = net.trainable_params()
print ('Param Shape is: {}'.format(len(model_params)))
for net_param in net.trainable_params():
    print(net_param, net_param.asnumpy())
net_loss = nn.loss.MSELoss()

# 设定优化算法，常用的是Momentum和ADAM
optim = nn.Momentum(net.trainable_params(), learning_rate=0.005, momentum=0.9)
model = Model(net, net_loss, optim)

epoch = 1
# 设定每8个batch训练完成后就播报一次，这里一共播报25次
model.train(epoch, ds_train, callbacks=[LossMonitor(8)], dataset_sink_mode=False)

for net_param in net.trainable_params():
    print(net_param, net_param.asnumpy())

在容器内直接用python来运行这个代码：

最后优化的结果为\(f(x)=1.8488435x+3.0522664\)，可以看到距离我们所预期的\(f(x)=2x+3\)已经是非常接近的，但是最后具体能训练到多少的精度，其实很大程度上跟训练集有关，这里因为训练集的范围取的比较小，可能会有一定的影响。

多变量函数拟合

不论是前面提到的线性函数拟合的场景，或者是上一个章节中单变量非线性函数的拟合，其实都只有1个输入参数，本章节介绍的场景有2个入参，这里我们要拟合的函数模型是：

\[z(x,y)=ax^2+by^3+c \]

以下是完整的代码实例：

# test_nonlinear.py

from mindspore import context
context.set_context(mode=context.GRAPH_MODE, device_target="CPU")
import numpy as np
from mindspore import dataset as ds
from mindspore import nn, Tensor, Model
import time
from mindspore.train.callback import Callback, LossMonitor

def get_data(num, a=2.0, b=3.0, c=5.0):
    for _ in range(num):
        x = np.random.uniform(-1.0, 1.0)
        y = np.random.uniform(-1.0, 1.0)
        noise = np.random.normal(0, 0.03)
        z = a * x ** 2 + b * y ** 3 + c + noise
        # 返回参数的时候压缩在一个数组内
        yield np.array([x**2,y**3]).astype(np.float32), np.array([z]).astype(np.float32)

def create_dataset(num_data, batch_size=16, repeat_size=1):
    input_data = ds.GeneratorDataset(list(get_data(num_data)), column_names=['x','z'])
    input_data = input_data.batch(batch_size)
    input_data = input_data.repeat(repeat_size)
    return input_data

data_number = 1600
batch_number = 16
repeat_number = 2

ds_train = create_dataset(data_number, batch_size=batch_number, repeat_size=repeat_number)
dict_datasets = next(ds_train.create_dict_iterator())

class LinearNet(nn.Cell):
    def __init__(self):
        super(LinearNet, self).__init__()
        # 神经网络的input和output维度设置为2,1
        self.fc = nn.Dense(2, 1, 0.02, 0.02)

    def construct(self, x):
        x = self.fc(x)
        return x

net = LinearNet()
model_params = net.trainable_params()
print ('Param Shape is: {}'.format(len(model_params)))
for net_param in net.trainable_params():
    print(net_param, net_param.asnumpy())
net_loss = nn.loss.MSELoss()

optim = nn.Momentum(net.trainable_params(), learning_rate=0.005, momentum=0.9)
model = Model(net, net_loss, optim)

epoch = 1
model.train(epoch, ds_train, callbacks=[LossMonitor(8)], dataset_sink_mode=False)

for net_param in net.trainable_params():
    print(net_param, net_param.asnumpy())

然后用同样的方法来运行：

root@9f9358769573:/home# python test_nonlinear.py

Parameter (name=fc.weight) [[1.9629341 2.9065483]]

这里得到的结果\(z(x,y)=1.9629341x^2+2.9065483y^3+5.004186\)跟我们所预期的结果\(z(x,y)=2x^2+3y^3+5\)也是非常接近的。

其他的函数类型

使用上一章节中所介绍的方法，不仅可以拟合多参数、多幂次的函数，同样的可以拟合一些其他的初等函数，比如：

\[z(x,y)=ax^2+b\ sin(y)+c \]

完整的代码如下所示：

# test_nonlinear.py

from mindspore import context
context.set_context(mode=context.GRAPH_MODE, device_target="CPU")
import numpy as np
from mindspore import dataset as ds
from mindspore import nn, Tensor, Model
import time
from mindspore.train.callback import Callback, LossMonitor

def get_data(num, a=4.0, b=2.0, c=7.0):
    for _ in range(num):
        x = np.random.uniform(-1.0, 1.0)
        y = np.random.uniform(-1.0, 1.0)
        noise = np.random.normal(0, 0.03)
        z = a * x ** 2 + b * np.sin(y) + c + noise
        yield np.array([x**2,np.sin(y)]).astype(np.float32), np.array([z]).astype(np.float32)

def create_dataset(num_data, batch_size=16, repeat_size=1):
    input_data = ds.GeneratorDataset(list(get_data(num_data)), column_names=['x','z'])
    input_data = input_data.batch(batch_size)
    input_data = input_data.repeat(repeat_size)
    return input_data

data_number = 1600
batch_number = 16
repeat_number = 2

ds_train = create_dataset(data_number, batch_size=batch_number, repeat_size=repeat_number)
dict_datasets = next(ds_train.create_dict_iterator())

class LinearNet(nn.Cell):
    def __init__(self):
        super(LinearNet, self).__init__()
        self.fc = nn.Dense(2, 1, 0.02, 0.02)

    def construct(self, x):
        x = self.fc(x)
        return x

net = LinearNet()
model_params = net.trainable_params()
print ('Param Shape is: {}'.format(len(model_params)))
for net_param in net.trainable_params():
    print(net_param, net_param.asnumpy())
net_loss = nn.loss.MSELoss()

optim = nn.Momentum(net.trainable_params(), learning_rate=0.005, momentum=0.9)
model = Model(net, net_loss, optim)

epoch = 1
model.train(epoch, ds_train, callbacks=[LossMonitor(8)], dataset_sink_mode=False)

for net_param in net.trainable_params():
    print(net_param, net_param.asnumpy())

还是同样的执行方法：

Parameter (name=fc.weight) [[3.6814337 1.9820771]]
Parameter (name=fc.bias) [7.106203]

得到的结果是\(z(x,y)=3.6814337x^2+1.9820771sin(y)+7.106203\)，而我们所预期的结果为：\(z(x,y)=4x^2+2sin(y)+7\)。

总结概要

基于前面所介绍的MindSpore框架使用线性神经网络来拟合线性函数的一个方案，这里我们将其推广到多参数、多幂次的函数，甚至是一些初等的函数。但是对于更加复杂的嵌套函数，可能还要思考一下更加普适的解决方案。
