from pca_plotter import PCAPlotter

print('TensorFlow version:', tf.__version__)
TensorFlow version: 2.1.0

Understanding the Approach

This appraoch is taken from the popular FaceNet paper.

We have a CNN model called EmbeddingModel:

CNN

We use three images for each training example: 1. person1_image1.jpg (Anchor Example, represented below in green) 2. person1_image2.jpg (Positive Example, in blue) 3. person2_image1.jpg (Negative Example, in red).

Embeddings

Siamese Network

All the three images of an example pass through the model, and we get the three Embeddings: One for the Anchor Example, one for the Positive Example, and one for the Negative Example.

Siamese Network

The three instances of the EmbeddingModel shown above are not different instances. It's the same, shared model instance - i.e. the parameters are shared, and are updated for all the three paths simultaneously.

Task 7: Triplet Loss

A loss function that tries to pull the Embeddings of Anchor and Positive Examples closer, and tries to push the Embeddings of Anchor and Negative Examples away from each other.

Root mean square difference between Anchor and Positive examples in a batch of N images is: $ \[\begin{equation} d_p = \sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=0}^{N-1}(f(a_i) - f(p_i))^2}{N}} \end{equation}\] $

Root mean square difference between Anchor and Negative examples in a batch of N images is: $ \[\begin{equation} d_n = \sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=0}^{N-1}(f(a_i) - f(n_i))^2}{N}} \end{equation}\] $

For each example, we want: $ \[\begin{equation} d_p \leq d_n \end{equation}\] $

Therefore, $ \[\begin{equation} d_p - d_n \leq 0 \end{equation}\] $

This condition is quite easily satisfied during the training.

We will make it non-trivial by adding a margin (alpha): $ \[\begin{equation} d_p - d_n + \alpha \leq 0 \end{equation}\] $

Given the condition above, the Triplet Loss L is defined as: $ \[\begin{equation} L = max(d_p - d_n + \alpha, 0) \end{equation}\] $

    negative_dist = tf.reduce_mean(tf.square(anchor - negative), axis=1)
