Lesson 1 official topic

if you defined the classes/categories in the order [‘cucumber’,‘zucchini’] then zucchini would be preds[1] … I had the same issue, I just flipped the indexing but yes it threw me off for a bit. @brismith answer makes sense.

To add to great responses above. There is an alternative approach: instead of generating negative examples one can view this as outlier detection problem. For example you can train an autoencoder to embed your “positive” data into reduced dimension vector. You will have some kind of cluster in the embedding space corresponding to a positive class. The embeddings for negative data should fall further away from the cluster center. Then you can classify all the data-points far from cluster center as negatives.

Depending on your particular problem one or both of this approaches can be applicable. If you have particular task in mind you can share it and people who worked on similar problems before will likely share some experience

I think you made the same mistake I always do - forgot to make it public! Click ‘edit’, then the share arrow, and set it to public.

Thanks Jeremy. I have made it public and updated url now.

Thanks @brismith, your suggestion worked now I’m getting correct probability.
@mike.moloch , I didn’t explicitly set the order of classes anywhere in the notebook .Seems the order is picked up alphabetically.

This still doesn’t work for me, btw, but glad you seem to have found the source of the error, in any case!

If you want to get all the labels aligned to the probabilities you can use dls.vocab to get the vocabulary from the dataloader. This has a method o2i for converting a vocab name to its corresponding index.

For example

print(f"Probability it's a zucchini : {probs[dls.vocab.o2i['zucchini']]:0.2%}")

Or if you want to print all the labels and probabilities in order of descending likelihood

for prob, label in sorted(zip(probs, dls.vocab), reverse=True):
    print(f'{label}: {prob:0.2%}')

Great - I see it now :slight_smile:

That’s a bit too advanced a topic for lesson 1 IMO. Feel free to ask it again in lesson 7 though!

Many thanks for your thoughtful comment. Rather than deleting, I’ll put my thoughts here in a reply since it’s useful to set some boundaries around our forum discussions.

In general, I’d like to avoid politically-oriented discussions on these forums, since they can take over everything else. Whilst it would be nice if mask-wearing was not a political discussion, that’s not the case… masks have become very politicised unfortunately. Therefore, let’s avoid discussing it here.

I’m having difficulty with learn.export() I’ve tried it on the Is it a bird? model on both my own machine and Kaggle server. I get an error: TypeError: can't pickle _thread.lock objects I’ve used this command successfully in prior versions of the course. I’ve gone back to some of those nbs and now the command fails with the same error. I’ve looked through the documentation to see if the signature of the function has changed and that doesn’t seem to be the case.

Can anyone suggest what has changed or more likely what I am doing wrong?

EDIT: Several other observations subsequent to the error after using learn.export():

  1. Even though there is an error, the file export.pkl is created.
  2. learn. show_results() now fails with: ValueError: This DataLoader does not contain any batches
  3. nvidia-smi indicates that the error has not released the memory from the process, which must be shutdown with kill -9 PID

I can report that I tried this on the Bird kaggle kernel and get the same error, fastai version is 2.6.2

On my local setup fastai version is 2.6.0 (the 4/25/22 paperspace container) and I don’t get this error.

EDIT: I upgraded my local fastai to 2.6.2 and now I’m getting the same error when doing learn.export()

Thanks @mike.moloch. So it’s not just me.
I would also add that even though export.pkl is created, it fails to load with load_image(‘export.pkl’). The error is: UnidentifiedImageError: cannot identify image file 'export.pkl'

Yup, getting this on the latest as well.

In the meantime, if you instead pip install fastai==2.6.0 you should be able to continue working for now (I’m sure a fix will be forthcoming).

Thanks for letting me know - will work on a fix now.

OK should be fixed now in v2.6.3

Thanks! works like a charm! I was able to save and load a pickled model.

Now that’s a fast fix! Many thanks.
