Keras. Siamese network and triplet loss

I want to build a network that should be able to verificate images (e.g. human faces). As I understand, that the best solution for that is Siamese network with a triplet loss. I didn't found any ready-made implementations, so I decided to create my own.

But I have question about Keras. For example, here's the structure of the network:

network structure

And the code is something like that:

embedding = Sequential([
  Flatten(),
  Dense(1024, activation='relu'),
  Dense(64),
  Lambda(lambda x: K.l2_normalize(x, axis=-1))
])

input_a = Input(shape=shape, name='anchor')
input_p = Input(shape=shape, name='positive')
input_n = Input(shape=shape, name='negative')

emb_a = embedding(input_a)
emb_p = embedding(input_p)
emb_n = embedding(input_n)

out = Concatenate()([emb_a, emb_p, emp_n])

model = Model([input_a, input_p, input_n], out)

model.compile(optimizer='adam', loss=<triplet_loss>)

I defined only one embedding model. Does this mean that once the model starts training weights would be the same for each input?

If it is, how can I extract embedding weights from the model?

I will answer on how to extract the embeddings (reference from my Github post):

My trained siamese model looked like this: siamese_model.summary()

image

Note that my newly redefined model is basically the same as the one highlighted in yellow

I then redefined my model which I wanted to use for extracting embeddings (It should be the same model you defined except now it will not have those multiple inputs like siamese) which looked like this:

siamese_embeddings_model = build_siamese_model(input_shape)

siamese_embeddings_model .summary()

image

Then I just extracted the weights from my trained siamese model and set them into my new model

embeddings_weights = siamese_model.layers[-3].get_weights()

siamese_embeddings_model.set_weights(embeddings_weights )

Then you can supply the new Image to extract the embeddings from the new model

vector = siamese.predict(image)

len(vector[0]) it will print 150 because of my fine dense layer (which are the output vector)

Yes, In triplet loss function weights should be shared across all three networks, i.e Anchor, Positive and Negetive. In Tensorflow 1.x to achieve weight sharing you can use reuse=True in tf.layers.

But in Tensorflow 2.x since the tf.layers has been moved to tf.keras.layers and reuse functionality has been removed. To achieve weight sharing you can write a custom layer that takes the parent layer and reuses its weights.

Below is the sample example to do the same.

class SharedConv(tf.keras.layers.Layer):
    def __init__(
        self,
        filters,
        kernel_size,
        strides=None,
        padding=None,
        dilation_rates=None,
        activation=None,
        use_bias=True,
        **kwargs
    ):
        self.filters = filters
        self.kernel_size = kernel_size
        self.strides = strides
        self.padding = padding
        self.dilation_rates = dilation_rates
        self.activation = activation
        self.use_bias = use_bias
        super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)

   def build(self, input_shape):
       self.conv = Conv2D(
           self.filters,
           self.kernel_size,
           padding=self.padding,
           dilation_rate=self.dilation_rates[0]
       )
       self.net1 = Activation(self.activation)
       self.net2 = Activation(self.activation)

   def call(self, inputs, **kwargs):
       x1 = self.conv(inputs)
       x1 = self.act1(x1)
       x2 = tf.nn.conv2d(
                inputs,
                self.conv.weights[0], 
                padding=self.padding,
                strides=self.strides,
                dilations=self.dilation_rates[1]
              )
        if self.use_bias:
            x2 = x2 + self.conv.weights[1]
        x2 = self.act2(x2)
        return x1, x2
