Learning Objectives
In this notebook, we'll be using Keras to create a wide and deep model to predict the weight of a baby before it is born.
We'll start by defining the CSV column names, label column, and column defaults for our data inputs. Then, we'll construct a tf.data Dataset of features and the label from the CSV files and create inputs layers for the raw features. Next, we'll set up feature columns for the model inputs and build a wide and deep neural network in Keras. We'll create a custom evaluation metric and build our wide and deep model. Finally, we'll train and evaluate our model.
Each learning objective will correspond to a #TODO in this student lab notebook -- try to complete this notebook first and then review the solution notebook.

In the seventh lab of this series 4a_sample_babyweight, we sampled from BigQuery our train, eval, and test CSV files. Verify that they exist, otherwise go back to that lab and create them.
In [ ]:
%%bash
ls *.csv
In [ ]:
%%bash
head -5 *.csv
Now that we have verified that our CSV files exist, we need to set a few things that we will be using in our input function.
CSV_COLUMNS are going to be our header names of our columns. Make sure that they are in the same order as in the CSV filesLABEL_COLUMN is the header name of the column that is our label. We will need to know this to pop it from our features dictionary.DEFAULTS is a list with the same length as CSV_COLUMNS, i.e. there is a default for each column in our CSVs. Each element is a list itself with the default value for that CSV column.
In [ ]:
# Determine CSV, label, and key columns
# TODO: Create list of string column headers, make sure order matches.
CSV_COLUMNS = [""]
# TODO: Add string name for label column
LABEL_COLUMN = ""
# Set default values for each CSV column as a list of lists.
# Treat is_male and plurality as strings.
DEFAULTS = []
Next, we will write an input_fn to read the data. Since we are reading from CSV files we can save ourself from trying to recreate the wheel and can use tf.data.experimental.make_csv_dataset. This will create a CSV dataset object. However we will need to divide the columns up into features and a label. We can do this by applying the map method to our dataset and popping our label column off of our dictionary of feature tensors.
In [ ]:
def features_and_labels(row_data):
"""Splits features and labels from feature dictionary.
Args:
row_data: Dictionary of CSV column names and tensor values.
Returns:
Dictionary of feature tensors and label tensor.
"""
label = row_data.pop(LABEL_COLUMN)
return row_data, label # features, label
def load_dataset(pattern, batch_size=1, mode='eval'):
"""Loads dataset using the tf.data API from CSV files.
Args:
pattern: str, file pattern to glob into list of files.
batch_size: int, the number of examples per batch.
mode: 'eval' | 'train' to determine if training or evaluating.

`Dataset` object.
"""
# TODO: Make a CSV dataset
dataset = tf.data.experimental.make_csv_dataset()
# TODO: Map dataset to features and label
dataset = dataset.map() # features, label
# Shuffle and repeat for training
if mode == 'train':
dataset = dataset.shuffle(buffer_size=1000).repeat()
# Take advantage of multi-threading; 1=AUTOTUNE
dataset = dataset.prefetch(buffer_size=1)
return dataset
We'll need to get the data read in by our input function to our model function, but just how do we go about connecting the dots? We can use Keras input layers (tf.Keras.layers.Input) by defining:
In [ ]:
def create_input_layers():
"""Creates dictionary of input layers for each feature.
Returns:
Dictionary of `tf.Keras.layers.Input` layers for each feature.
"""
# TODO: Create dictionary of tf.keras.layers.Input for each dense feature
deep_inputs = {}
# TODO: Create dictionary of tf.keras.layers.Input for each sparse feature
wide_inputs = {}
inputs = {**wide_inputs, **deep_inputs}
return inputs
In [ ]:
def create_feature_columns(nembeds):
"""Creates wide and deep dictionaries of feature columns from inputs.
Args:
nembeds: int, number of dimensions to embed categorical column down to.
Returns:
Wide and deep dictionaries of feature columns.
"""
# TODO: Create deep feature columns for numeric features
deep_fc = {}
# TODO: Create wide feature columns for categorical features
wide_fc = {}
# TODO: Bucketize the float fields. This makes them wide
# TODO: Cross all the wide cols, have to do the crossing before we one-hot
# TODO: Embed cross and add to deep feature columns
return wide_fc, deep_fc
So we've figured out how to get our inputs ready for machine learning but now we need to connect them to our desired output. Our model architecture is what links the two together. We need to create a wide and deep model now. The wide side will just be a linear regression or dense layer. For the deep side, let's create some hidden dense layers. All of this will end with a single dense output layer. This is regression so make sure the output layer activation is correct and that the shape is right.
In [ ]:
def get_model_outputs(wide_inputs, deep_inputs, dnn_hidden_units):
"""Creates model architecture and returns outputs.
Args:
wide_inputs: Dense tensor used as inputs to wide side of model.
deep_inputs: Dense tensor used as inputs to deep side of model.
dnn_hidden_units: List of integers where length is number of hidden
layers and ith element is the number of neurons at ith layer.
Returns:
Dense tensor output from the model.
"""
# Hidden layers for the deep side
layers = [int(x) for x in dnn_hidden_units]
deep = deep_inputs
# TODO: Create DNN model for the deep side
deep_out =
# TODO: Create linear model for the wide side
wide_out =
# Concatenate the two sides
both = tf.keras.layers.concatenate(
inputs=[deep_out, wide_out], name="both")
# TODO: Create final output layer
return output
We want to make sure that we have some useful way to measure model performance for us. Since this is regression, we would like to know the RMSE of the model on our evaluation dataset, however, this does not exist as a standard evaluation metric, so we'll have to create our own by using the true and predicted labels.
In [ ]:
def rmse(y_true, y_pred):
"""Calculates RMSE evaluation metric.
Args:
y_true: tensor, true labels.
y_pred: tensor, predicted labels.
Returns:
Tensor with value of RMSE between true and predicted labels.
"""
# TODO: Calculate RMSE from true and predicted labels
pass
Excellent! We've assembled all of the pieces, now we just need to tie them all together into a Keras Model. This is NOT a simple feedforward model with no branching, side inputs, etc. so we can't use Keras' Sequential Model API. We're instead going to use Keras' Functional Model API. Here we will build the model using tf.keras.models.Model giving our inputs and outputs and then compile our model with an optimizer, a loss function, and evaluation metrics.
In [ ]:

We can visualize the wide and deep network using the Keras plot_model utility.

We've built our Keras model using our inputs from our CSV files and the architecture we designed. Let's now run our model by training our model parameters and periodically running an evaluation to track how well we are doing on outside data as training goes on. We'll need to load both our train and eval datasets and send those to our model through the fit method. Make sure you have the right pattern, batch size, and mode when loading the data. Also, don't forget to add the callback to TensorBoard.
