Convert Tensor to numpy array

[nthakor]

I am trying to calculate ruc score after every epoch. For than the tensor object need to be converted to numpy array.
Following is the code I am trying.

# Launch the graph
with tf.Session() as sess:
    sess.run(init)

    # Training cycle
    for epoch in range(training_epochs):
        avg_cost = 0.
        total_batch = int(len(trX)/batch_size)
        # Loop over all batches
        for i in range(total_batch):
            batch_x, batch_y = trX[batch_size*i:batch_size*(i+1)],trY[batch_size*i:batch_size*(i+1)]
            # Run optimization op (backprop) and cost op (to get loss value)
            _, c = sess.run([optimizer, cost], feed_dict={x: batch_x,
                                                          y: batch_y})
            # Compute average loss
            avg_cost += c / total_batch
        # Display logs per epoch step
        if epoch % display_step == 0:
            print "Epoch:", '%04d' % (epoch+1), "cost=", \
                "{:.9f}".format(avg_cost)
            print roc_auc_score(teY,pred)

    print "Optimization Finished!"
    # Test model
    correct_prediction = tf.equal(tf.argmax(pred, 1), tf.argmax(y, 1))
    # Calculate accuracy
    accuracy = tf.reduce_mean(tf.cast(correct_prediction, "float"))
    print "Accuracy:", accuracy.eval({x: teX, y: teY})

It is giving following error:

TypeError: Expected sequence or array-like, got <class 'tensorflow.python.framework.ops.Tensor'>

Can you please tell how to convert tensor to numpy array.
I tried pred.eval() but it is showing error also.

To convert a tensor to numpy array, you have to run:

array = your_tensor.eval(session=your_session)

Resolved Thanks.

Hello,
I have the same problem, but I need to convert a tensor to a numpy arran in keras (without a tensorflow session). Can you help?

[b18arundhati]

Hi!
I have the same problem. @fmigas did you find any solution?

[fmigas]

Hi, No, I'm using keras (not tensor flow directly) and I went around this problem by using a simple code in keras that gets outputs and weights of selected layers (and in fact that was my objective). Franek 2017-12-27 9:52 GMT+01:00 Arundhati Banerjee <notifications@github.com>:

Oh ok. Thank you! I am also using keras, and actually wanted to use the output tensor from my model for Hamming loss evaluation (for which I intend to use sklearn metrics - hence the need to convert to the numpy array). Thanks, Arundhati

[samensah]

@fmigas @b18arundhati Hi!, did you guys manage to find a solution on the conversion from the tensor to numpy array in Keras? I'm having the same problem.

[b18arundhati]

Hi! No I did not find any direct method for the conversion. I was able to solve my problem using a workaround in Keras.

[eavidan]

we are using Tensorflow Serving and I have written the following function to convert the PredictResponse (tensor) back to numpy array if it helps

def predictResponse_into_nparray(response, output_tensor_name):
    dims = response.outputs[output_tensor_name].tensor_shape.dim
    shape = tuple(d.size for d in dims)
    print(shape)
    return np.reshape(response.outputs[output_tensor_name].float_val, shape)

[jonathand94]

for evaluating a tensor in Keras use Keras backend function "eval()" --> K.eval(my_tensor)
Check for documentation: https://keras.io/backend/

[ParekhVivek09]

Hi,@b18arundhati did you find any solution regarding this. I have the same environment in Keras.

[bfonta]

Try the following:

import tensorflow as tf
from tensorflow.python.keras import backend as K
sess = K.get_session()
array = sess.run(your_tensor)

[emnajaoua]

@b18arundhati can you please tell us what is your workaround. I am using tensor objects under keras, I want to convert them to arrays or lists so I can use them as input for another function. the output of that other function is so necessary since I am using it to calculate the loss.
I tried the solutions of @b-fontana @jonathand94 but still I get this error:
InvalidArgumentError: You must feed a value for placeholder tensor 'Placeholder' with dtype float and shape [?,36]
[[Node: Placeholder = Placeholderdtype=DT_FLOAT, shape=[?,36], _device="/job:localhost/replica:0/task:0/device:CPU:0"]]

Any suggestions please ?

[bfonta]

Can you post a minimal working example, showing the tensor you want to evaluate?
Anyways, depending on how you defined the tensor "your_tensor", you might have to provide additional values for some placeholders. You are probably trying to evaluate a tensor that is not completely defined when you do 'sess.run()'.

[emnajaoua]

@b-fontana Thank you for your respond. In fact, my case is a bit complicated. I am defining a function that represent a custom loss. This function is using as inputs numpy arrays. So I was trying to evaluate my tensors to be numpy arrays so I can process this function but that was not possible. Because I have to fed an actual value to my tensors for that. a better explanation is in this link keras-team/keras#4075.
Anyway, now I am working on rewriting my custom loss function with keras symbols or operations.

[ShantanuShinde]

To convert a tensor to numpy array, you have to run:

array = your_tensor.eval(session=your_session)

I used this. but the program hangs at the eval(). what is the problem?

[bfonta]

@Gameatro:

Try the following:

Check for documentation: https://keras.io/backend/

If this does not work, please paste a minimum working example so that we can reproduce your error.

Hi Everyone,
I'm trying to implement a custom metric in Keras, and I'm also having the problem to convert Tensor to Numpy.
All of the options below throws the error: "You must feed a value for placeholder tensor 'dense_3_target' with dtype float and shape [?,?]"
Did anyone find a solution yet?

from tensorflow.keras import backend as K
def custom_accuracy(y_true, y_pred):
sess = K.get_session()
y_true_np = sess.run(y_true) #1
y_true_np = y_true.eval(session=sess) #2
y_true_np = K.eval(y_true) #3
y_true_np = K.get_value(y_true) #4

[ahmedhosny]

The loss function is part of the graph - I believe everything needs to be implemented using keras backend or tf functions i.e. operate on tensors not numpy arrays.

[huangjiancong1]

To convert a tensor to numpy array, you have to run:

array = your_tensor.eval(session=your_session)

I think array = your_tensor.eval(session=your_session) can not work if there have different placeholder defined,

there should be define feed_dict={} in some way?

Did you solve this? I have the same problem

[ghost]

I have the same problem, but no possible to debug it. I tried to use Keras backend as suggested, but it didn't work.

Here is a MWE:

import numpy  as np 
import tensorflow as tf
import scipy.optimize 


# fixed parameters
kon = 0.01
mu  = 1.5
fi  = 0.5 
kappa = 22
w = 0.63

# varying parameters 
n=10000
x0 = tf.random.normal(shape=(n,), stddev=0.2)
x0 =np.exp(x0)
eps = tf.random.normal(shape=(n,), stddev=0.17)
z = tf.sigmoid(tf.random.normal(shape=(n,), stddev=0.22))

@tf.function 
def get_leisure(z, eps, x0):
    e_eps = tf.exp(eps)
    e_x0 = x0
    c_1=mu/fi * np.ones(n)
    c_2=(1-mu)*kappa * np.ones(n)
    c_3= 1 + (1/fi)
    c_4=mu*np.log(w*e_eps*e_x0/kon)+np.log(z)
    def fun(x):
        return c_1[0] * np.log(x) - c_2[0] * ((x) ** c_3)-c_4
    hvec = scipy.optimize.newton_krylov(fun, 0.5 * np.ones(n))
    return hvec
   
get_leisure(z,eps,x0)
