Using TensorFlow Recommenders with TFX

bookmark_border

A tutorial to train a TensorFlow Recommenders ranking model as a TFX pipeline.

Run in Google ColabView source on GitHubDownload notebook

In this notebook-based tutorial, we will create and run a TFX pipeline to train a ranking model to predict movie ratings using TensorFlow Recommenders (TFRS). The pipeline will consist of three essential TFX components: ExampleGen, Trainer and Pusher. The pipeline includes the most minimal ML workflow like importing data, training a model and exporting the trained TFRS ranking model.

Set Up

We first need to install the TFX Python package and download the dataset which we will use for our model.

Upgrade Pip

To avoid upgrading Pip in a system when running locally, check to make sure that we are running in Colab. Local systems can of course be upgraded separately.

import sys
if 'google.colab' in sys.modules:
  !pip install --upgrade pip

Install TFX

pip install -U tfx
pip install -U tensorflow-recommenders

Did you restart the runtime?

If you are using Google Colab, the first time that you run the cell above, you must restart the runtime by clicking above “RESTART RUNTIME” button or using “Runtime > Restart runtime …” menu. This is because of the way that Colab loads packages.

Before we define the pipeline, we need to write the model code for the Trainer component and save it in a file.

Check the TensorFlow and TFX versions.

Set up variables

There are some variables used to define a pipeline. You can customize these variables as you want. By default all output from the pipeline will be generated under the current directory. Instead of using the SchemaGen component to generate a schema, for this tutorial we will create a hardcoded schema.

import os

PIPELINE_NAME = 'TFRS-ranking'

# Directory where MovieLens 100K rating data lives
DATA_ROOT = os.path.join('data', PIPELINE_NAME)
# Output directory to store artifacts generated from the pipeline.
PIPELINE_ROOT = os.path.join('pipelines', PIPELINE_NAME)
# Path to a SQLite DB file to use as an MLMD storage.
METADATA_PATH = os.path.join('metadata', PIPELINE_NAME, 'metadata.db')
# Output directory where created models from the pipeline will be exported.
SERVING_MODEL_DIR = os.path.join('serving_model', PIPELINE_NAME)

from absl import logging
logging.set_verbosity(logging.INFO)  # Set default logging level.

Prepare example data

Since TFX does not currently support TensorFlow Datasets API, we will download the MovieLens 100K dataset manually for use in our TFX pipeline. The dataset we are using is MovieLens 100K Dataset.

There are four numeric features in this dataset:

  • userId
  • movieId
  • rating
  • timestamp

We will build a ranking model which predicts the rating of the movies. We will not use the timestamp feature.

Because TFX ExampleGen reads inputs from a directory, we need to create a directory and copy dataset to it.

wget https://files.grouplens.org/datasets/movielens/ml-100k.zip

Take a quick look at the CSV file.

head {DATA_ROOT}/ratings.csv
userId,movieId,rating,timestamp
196,242,3,881250949
186,302,3,891717742
22,377,1,878887116
244,51,2,880606923
166,346,1,886397596
298,474,4,884182806
115,265,2,881171488
253,465,5,891628467
305,451,3,886324817

You should be able to see four values. For example, the first example means user ‘196’ gives a rating of 3 to movie ‘242’.

Create a pipeline

TFX pipelines are defined using Python APIs. We will define a pipeline which consists of following three components.

  • CsvExampleGen: Reads in data files and convert them to TFX internal format for further processing. There are multiple ExampleGens for various formats. In this tutorial, we will use CsvExampleGen which takes CSV file input.
  • Trainer: Trains an ML model. Trainer component requires a model definition code from users. You can use TensorFlow APIs to specify how to train a model and save it in a _savedmodel format.
  • Pusher: Copies the trained model outside of the TFX pipeline. Pusher component can be thought of an deployment process of the trained ML model.

Before actually define the pipeline, we need to write a model code for the Trainer component first.

Write model training code

We will build a simple ranking model to predict movie ratings. This model training code will be saved to a separate file.

In this tutorial we will use Generic Trainer of TFX which support Keras-based models. You need to write a Python file containing run_fn function, which is the entrypoint for the Trainer component.

_trainer_module_file = 'tfrs_ranking_trainer.py'

The ranking model we use is almost exactly the same as in the Basic Ranking tutorial. The only difference is that we use movie IDs instead of movie titles in the candidate tower.

Writing tfrs_ranking_trainer.py

Now you have completed all preparation steps to build the TFX pipeline.

Write a pipeline definition

We define a function to create a TFX pipeline. A Pipeline object represents a TFX pipeline which can be run using one of pipeline orchestration systems that TFX supports.

def _create_pipeline(pipeline_name: str, pipeline_root: str, data_root: str,
                     module_file: str, serving_model_dir: str,
                     metadata_path: str) -> tfx.dsl.Pipeline:
  """Creates a three component pipeline with TFX."""
  # Brings data into the pipeline.
  example_gen = tfx.components.CsvExampleGen(input_base=data_root)

  # Uses user-provided Python function that trains a model.
  trainer = tfx.components.Trainer(
      module_file=module_file,
      examples=example_gen.outputs['examples'],
      train_args=tfx.proto.TrainArgs(num_steps=12),
      eval_args=tfx.proto.EvalArgs(num_steps=24))

  # Pushes the model to a filesystem destination.
  pusher = tfx.components.Pusher(
      model=trainer.outputs['model'],
      push_destination=tfx.proto.PushDestination(
          filesystem=tfx.proto.PushDestination.Filesystem(
              base_directory=serving_model_dir)))

  # Following three components will be included in the pipeline.
  components = [
      example_gen,
      trainer,
      pusher,
  ]

  return tfx.dsl.Pipeline(
      pipeline_name=pipeline_name,
      pipeline_root=pipeline_root,
      metadata_connection_config=tfx.orchestration.metadata
      .sqlite_metadata_connection_config(metadata_path),
      components=components)

Run the pipeline

TFX supports multiple orchestrators to run pipelines. In this tutorial we will use LocalDagRunner which is included in the TFX Python package and runs pipelines on local environment.

Now we create a LocalDagRunner and pass a Pipeline object created from the function we already defined.

The pipeline runs directly and you can see logs for the progress of the pipeline including ML model training.

tfx.orchestration.LocalDagRunner().run(
  _create_pipeline(
      pipeline_name=PIPELINE_NAME,
      pipeline_root=PIPELINE_ROOT,
      data_root=DATA_ROOT,
      module_file=_trainer_module_file,
      serving_model_dir=SERVING_MODEL_DIR,
      metadata_path=METADATA_PATH))

INFO:absl:Component Pusher is finished.

You should see “INFO:absl:Component Pusher is finished.” at the end of the logs if the pipeline finished successfully. Because Pusher component is the last component of the pipeline.

The pusher component pushes the trained model to the SERVING_MODEL_DIR which is the serving_model/TFRS-ranking directory if you did not change the variables in the previous steps. You can see the result from the file browser in the left-side panel in Colab, or using the following command:

# List files in created model directory.
ls -R {SERVING_MODEL_DIR}
serving_model/TFRS-ranking:
1671023059

serving_model/TFRS-ranking/1671023059:
assets  keras_metadata.pb  saved_model.pb  variables

serving_model/TFRS-ranking/1671023059/variables:
variables.data-00000-of-00001  variables.index

Now we can test the ranking model by computing predictions for a user and a movie:

import glob
# Load the latest model for testing
loaded = tf.saved_model.load(max(glob.glob(os.path.join(SERVING_MODEL_DIR, '*/')), key=os.path.getmtime))
print(loaded({'userId': [[42]], 'movieId': [[15]]}).numpy())
