I'm confused by the tf.layers.batch_normalization in tensorflow.
My code is as follows:
def my_net(x, num_classes, phase_train, scope):
x = tf.layers.conv2d(...)
x = tf.layers.batch_normalization(x, training=phase_train)
x = tf.nn.relu(x)
x = tf.layers.max_pooling2d(...)
# some other staffs
...
# return
return x
def train():
phase_train = tf.placeholder(tf.bool, name='phase_train')
image_node = tf.placeholder(tf.float32, shape=[batch_size, HEIGHT, WIDTH, 3])
images, labels = data_loader(train_set)
val_images, val_labels = data_loader(validation_set)
prediction_op = my_net(image_node, num_classes=2,phase_train=phase_train, scope='Branch1')
loss_op = loss(...)
# some other staffs
optimizer = tf.train.AdamOptimizer(base_learning_rate)
update_ops = tf.get_collection(tf.GraphKeys.UPDATE_OPS)
with tf.control_dependencies(update_ops):
train_op = optimizer.minimize(loss=total_loss, global_step=global_step)
sess = ...
coord = ...
while not coord.should_stop():
image_batch, label_batch = sess.run([images, labels])
_,loss_value= sess.run([train_op,loss_op], feed_dict={image_node:image_batch,label_node:label_batch,phase_train:True})
step = step+1
if step==NUM_TRAIN_SAMPLES:
for _ in range(NUM_VAL_SAMPLES/batch_size):
image_batch, label_batch = sess.run([val_images, val_labels])
prediction_batch = sess.run([prediction_op], feed_dict={image_node:image_batch,label_node:label_batch,phase_train:False})
val_accuracy = compute_accuracy(...)
def test():
phase_train = tf.placeholder(tf.bool, name='phase_train')
image_node = tf.placeholder(tf.float32, shape=[batch_size, HEIGHT, WIDTH, 3])
test_images, test_labels = data_loader(test_set)
prediction_op = my_net(image_node, num_classes=2,phase_train=phase_train, scope='Branch1')
# some staff to load the trained weights to the graph
saver.restore(...)
for _ in range(NUM_TEST_SAMPLES/batch_size):
image_batch, label_batch = sess.run([test_images, test_labels])
prediction_batch = sess.run([prediction_op], feed_dict={image_node:image_batch,label_node:label_batch,phase_train:False})
test_accuracy = compute_accuracy(...)
The training seems to work well and the val_accuracy is reasonable (say 0.70). The problem is: when I tried to use the trained model to do test (i.e., the test function), if the phase_train is set to False, the test_accuracy is very low (say, 0.000270), but when the phase_train is set to True, the test_accuracy seems right (say 0.69).
As far as I understood, the phase_train should be False in testing stage, right?
I'm not sure what the problem is. Do I misunderstand the batch normalization?
