## Introduction

This example shows how to do text classification starting from raw text (as
a set of text files on disk). We demonstrate the workflow on the IMDB sentiment
classification dataset (unprocessed version). We use the `TextVectorization` layer for
 word splitting & indexing.
"""

"""
## Setup
"""

import os

os.environ["KERAS_BACKEND"] = "tensorflow"

import keras
import tensorflow as tf
import numpy as np
from keras import layers

"""
## Load the data: IMDB movie review sentiment classification

Let's download the data and inspect its structure.
"""

"""shell
curl -O https://ai.stanford.edu/~amaas/data/sentiment/aclImdb_v1.tar.gz
tar -xf aclImdb_v1.tar.gz
"""

"""
The `aclImdb` folder contains a `train` and `test` subfolder:
"""

"""shell
ls aclImdb
"""

"""shell
ls aclImdb/test
"""

"""shell
ls aclImdb/train
"""

"""
The `aclImdb/train/pos` and `aclImdb/train/neg` folders contain text files, each of
 which represents one review (either positive or negative):
"""

"""shell
cat aclImdb/train/pos/6248_7.txt
"""

"""
We are only interested in the `pos` and `neg` subfolders, so let's delete the other subfolder that has text files in it:
"""

"""shell
rm -r aclImdb/train/unsup
"""

"""
You can use the utility `keras.utils.text_dataset_from_directory` to
generate a labeled `tf.data.Dataset` object from a set of text files on disk filed
 into class-specific folders.

Let's use it to generate the training, validation, and test datasets. The validation
and training datasets are generated from two subsets of the `train` directory, with 20%
of samples going to the validation dataset and 80% going to the training dataset.

Having a validation dataset in addition to the test dataset is useful for tuning
hyperparameters, such as the model architecture, for which the test dataset should not
be used.

Before putting the model out into the real world however, it should be retrained using all
available training data (without creating a validation dataset), so its performance is maximized.

When using the `validation_split` & `subset` arguments, make sure to either specify a
random seed, or to pass `shuffle=False`, so that the validation & training splits you
get have no overlap.

Let's preview a few samples:
"""

# It's important to take a look at your raw data to ensure your normalization
# and tokenization will work as expected. We can do that by taking a few
# examples from the training set and looking at them.

# we can just evaluate these tensors using .numpy()
# instead of needing to evaluate them in a Session/Graph context.

## Prepare the data

In particular, we remove `<br />` tags.
"""

import string
import re


# Having looked at our data above, we see that the raw text contains HTML break
# tags of the form '<br />'. These tags will not be removed by the default
# standardizer (which doesn't strip HTML). Because of this, we will need to
# create a custom standardization function.

# Now that we have our custom standardization, we can instantiate our text
# vectorization layer. We are using this layer to normalize, split, and map
# strings to integers, so we set our 'output_mode' to 'int'.
# Note that we're using the default split function,
# and the custom standardization defined above.
# We also set an explicit maximum sequence length, since the CNNs later in our
# model won't support ragged sequences.

)

# Now that the vectorize_layer has been created, call `adapt` on a text-only
# dataset to create the vocabulary. You don't have to batch, but for very large
# datasets this means you're not keeping spare copies of the dataset in memory.

# Let's make a text-only dataset (no labels):
text_ds = raw_train_ds.map(lambda x, y: x)
# Let's call `adapt`:
vectorize_layer.adapt(text_ds)

"""
## Two options to vectorize the data

There are 2 ways we can use our text vectorization layer:

**Option 1: Make it part of the model**, so as to obtain a model that processes raw
 strings, like this:
"""

"""

```python
text_input = keras.Input(shape=(1,), dtype=tf.string, name='text')
x = vectorize_layer(text_input)
x = layers.Embedding(max_features + 1, embedding_dim)(x)
...
```

**Option 2: Apply it to the text dataset** to obtain a dataset of word indices, then
 feed it into a model that expects integer sequences as inputs.

An important difference between the two is that option 2 enables you to do
**asynchronous CPU processing and buffering** of your data when training on GPU.
So if you're training the model on GPU, you probably want to go with this option to get
 the best performance. This is what we will do below.

If we were to export our model to production, we'd ship a model that accepts raw
strings as input, like in the code snippet for option 1 above. This can be done after
 training. We do this in the last section.
