This is the second part in a series of notes on my exploration of the recently released Google QuickDraw dataset, using the concurrently released SketchRNN model.
In the previous note, we set up our development environment, downloaded a subset of the data along with some pre-trained models, and developed some utilities for visualizing the data in the notebook. We retain most of the code from previous note and omit the expository code and markdown cells.
The QuickDraw dataset is curated from the millions of drawings contributed by over 15 million people around the world who participated in the "Quick, Draw!" A.I. Experiment, in which they were given the challenge of drawing objects belonging to a particular class (such as "cat") in under 20 seconds.
SketchRNN is a very impressive generative model that was trained to produce vector drawings using this dataset. It was of particular interest to me because it cleverly combines many of the latest tools and techniques recently developed in machine learning, such as Variational Autoencoders, HyperLSTMs (a HyperNetwork for LSTM), Autoregressive models, Layer Normalization, Recurrent Dropout, the Adam optimizer, and others.

The helper functions for encoding a sketch to some latent code $z$ and then decoding it back to a sketch were provided in the original notebook. I just made some minor syntactic changes and removed the behaviour of plotting as a side-effect.
In [73]:
def encode(input_strokes):
strokes = to_big_strokes(input_strokes).tolist()
strokes.insert(0, [0, 0, 1, 0, 0])
seq_len = [len(input_strokes)]

Now we get a random sample from the test dataset
In [120]:
sketch = test_set.random_sample()
In [138]:
fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(3, 3),
subplot_kw=dict(xticks=[],
yticks=[],
frame_on=False))
draw(sketch, ax=ax)
plt.show()
We project it into the 128-dimensional latent space using the pre-trained encoder
In [183]:
z = encode(sketch)
z.shape
Out[183]:
Now we can reconstruct the original sketch from the learned latent representation using the pre-trained decoder, with temperature $\tau=0.8$. The temperature parameter controls the level of randomness in the samples generated by the model, which becomes deterministic as $\tau \to 0$, and produces samples that are the most likely point in the probability density function. See pg. 7 of the original paper for further discussion of the effects the temperature parameter has on the sampling process.
In [216]:
sketch_reconstructed = decode(z, temperature=.6)
sketch_reconstructed.shape
Out[216]:
In [217]:
fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(3, 3),
subplot_kw=dict(xticks=[],
yticks=[],
frame_on=False))
draw(sketch_reconstructed, ax=ax)
plt.show()
The grid of drawings below consists of samples of the reconstructed drawings at various settings of the temperature parameter. The first column is the original drawing, and each of the remaining columns are 5 samples of the reconstructed drawing with $\tau$ increasing from 0.1 to 0.9.
In [182]:
fig, ax_arr = plt.subplots(nrows=5,
ncols=10,
figsize=(8, 4),
subplot_kw=dict(xticks=[],
yticks=[],
frame_on=False))
fig.tight_layout()
for row_num, ax_row in enumerate(ax_arr):
for col_num, ax in enumerate(ax_row):
if not col_num:
draw(sketch, ax=ax)
xlabel = 'original'
else:
t = col_num / 10.
draw(decode(z, temperature=t), ax=ax)
xlabel = r'$\tau={}$'.format(t)
if row_num+1 == len(ax_arr):
ax.set_xlabel(xlabel)
plt.show()
At the lowest setting of the temperature at $\tau=0.1$, we see the samples consistently share a similar appearance - they all look like vertical strokes emanating from a fluffy cloud. However, they are also consistently dissimilar to the original sketch. In this sense, the samples from the models seems to exhibit high bias and low variance. As we increase the variance in the samples by increasing $\tau$, we start to find some samples that resemble our original sketch. But when we increase $\tau$ a little too much, beyond say 0.8, we begin to see a little too much randomness in the samples.

Unfortunately, the strokes that make up a sketch have been normalized with the Ramer–Douglas–Peucker algorithm, which is a simple stroke simplification process. This means the strokes aren't quite the same as the that which the human originally used to construct the sketch. Moreover, the timing of each stroke are also important to understanding patterns in how humans draw quick sketches. While timestamp data is provided in the full QuickDraw dataset, they are not preserved in the modified version of the dataset used by SketchRNN.
