RPDR Season 5 Word Crawl

By: work_of_art

Rules:

This crawl has 14 stops for each episode RuPaul’s Drag Race S5. The format of an episode is a mini challenge and a main challenge. If you do not win the main challenge, you have to lip sync for your life by doing a song sprint. If you fail the lip sync you return to the beginning of the crawl.

Still Life

A still life (plural: still lifes) is a work of art depicting mostly inanimate subject matter, typically commonplace objects which are either natural (food, flowers, dead animals, plants, rocks, shells, etc.) or man-made (drinking glasses, books, vases, jewelry, coins, pipes, etc.).

人工智慧能不能利用 NLP 技術搞懂人類能吃什麼呢？

電腦雖然會挑花生，但身為不食人間煙火的存在，其實電腦並不知道它挑出來的土豆仁是要被一種自稱為人類的無毛猴子吃掉的。如果電腦連什麼東西可以吃，什麼東西不能吃都搞不清楚，我們又怎麼能期待有一天，機器女僕能端上一盤熱騰騰的咖哩飯，請主人慢用呢？

搞不好它淋上去的是雅媽路補(YAMALUBE)的美味機油啊！

這是一隻想學習食物名稱的機器貓！

為了幫助機器貓學習人類的消化能力，我們當然可以雇請兩個工讀生，跑一趟生鮮超市，開始把所有他們想得到可以吃的食材以及菜色名稱全部列出來。但是這樣一方面很沒效率，二來…我們總會遇到有人覺得香菜是不是食物的人為偏差。

於是，我們決定拿出資料科學家的精神，用 PIXNET 的「美味食記」blog 資料集來處理一番，以便自動長出後續做機器學習時的基本素材。

實驗的假設是這樣的…

既然有這麼多篇 blog 都在講食記，那麼一個真正可以吃的食物，應該會常常在這些食記中多次出現才對吧？

比如說，如果「貝果」真的是一種可以吃的食物，那麼在這麼多篇的食記中，應該會常常被提到才是。相對地，像「蝙蝠」這種不太有人吃的東西，即便真的出現在食記裡，也不會太多次才對。這麼一來，基於這樣的假設，我們就能藉由「某個詞多次出現」這個條件，來讓偽機器貓好好學學什麼是「可以吃的」食物啦！

用比較「學術」一點的說法就是「文本經斷詞處理後的結果，應能呈現資料本身的特徵傾向」。也就是說，經過斷詞處理後，我們將取出「正確」的詞彙來統計一番。既然大家都是美味食記，那麼應該可以預期會有「很多食物的名稱」重覆出現吧！

為了抽出代表食物名稱的詞條，我們採用 4 種不同的 NLP 自然語言處理技術：Jieba 斷詞、中研院 CKIPTagger、Articut NLP 系統 以及 n-gram 加以處理以後，來計算看看「哪一種處理方式，最能呈現出文本內容的屬性特色呢？」

就像做料理也要先來個食材清單一樣，這次的實驗材料如下：

實驗名稱：以四種 NLP 工具抽取語料中「食物/菜名/餐點名稱」的比較

語料來源：痞客邦 2018 年資料集中「美味食記類」的所有貼文

語料大小：84'169 篇貼文，共約 1 億 6 千萬個字符。

抽詞方法：

簡述如下：

[斷詞] > [依POS/NER標記抽詞] > [依詞條長度和頻率排序] > [取詞條出現頻率前 200 名]

詳述如下：

#Articut 1. Articut lv2 斷詞 2. 抽取 <entity_nouny>, <entity_oov>, <entity_nounhead> 等標記的詞條 3. 依抽取出詞條的長度、頻率兩項降冪排序 4. 長度 2~9 之間的詞條每個長度各取前 200 個高頻詞來做人工評量"

#Jieba 1. Jieba 斷詞 2. 抽取 <n> 標記的詞條 3. 依抽取出詞條的長度、頻率兩項降冪排序 4. 長度 2~9 之間的詞條每個長度各取前 200 個高頻詞來做人工評量"

#CKIPTagger 1. CKIPTagger NER 抽取工具 2. 抽取 PRODUCT,WORK_OF_ART,PERSON,LAW,GPE,ORG,NORP,EVENT,FAC 等可能會有食物名在其中的標記的詞條 3. 依抽取出詞條的長度、頻率兩項降冪排序 4. 長度 2~9 之間的詞條每個長度各取前 200 個高頻詞來做人工評量"

#N-gram 1. N-gram 長字串優先統計 2. 依字串的長度、頻率兩項降冪排序 3. 長度 2~9 之間的詞條每個長度各取前 200 個高頻詞來做人工評量"

抽出來頻率前 200 名的詞條後，依詞條的長度分別評量。比如說「豆漿」就是二字詞，「超級無敵海景佛跳牆」就是九字詞。只是斷詞的話，其實沒有什麼用，所以我們依詞性 (POS) 和命名實體辨識 (NER) 的標記取出可能會有食物名的標記。免得中文裡有一堆常見的動詞或是地名都是二字詞，佔掉了寶貴的前 200 名的席位。

從這裡可以看出來，Articut (綠線)抽出來的詞條裡，有一大票的結果都真實地反映了「美味食記」的文件特性 – 30% 以上的常見詞是食物的名字。這就像是我們拿個網子去釣蝦場的池子裡撈，你應該可以預期撈到的東西裡，應該有不少蝦子才對！(當然其它��有竹籤、食餌、魚鉤…等雜物)。

因此，這個實驗簡單地說就是在做「我給你一個蝦池，用四種網子去撈，看看哪一種網子撈出來的蝦子最多！能撈得愈多的網子，就是好網子！」

也因為大部份的食物名稱都是「二字詞」，所以 Jieba 斷詞在二字詞這一關，也得到了不錯的分數。至於 Ngram 中的二字詞，因為本來就沒有 POS/NER 可用，因此我們可以發現它被許多的無關詞條給干擾了，讓準確度 (Accuracy) 下降了很多。

值得一提的是，雖然我們可以「只」用 CKIPTagger 的 PRODUCT 這一項來提高 Accuracy，但是這麼一來，散佈在其它 WORK_OF_ART, PERSON, LAW… 等項目中的食物名就會錯過了。因此我們為了和其它工具採用一個較為公平的起點，只要有食物名在其中的 POS/NER 類別，就全部採計進來。

除了二字詞、三字詞以外，由於食記裡有很多是餐廳裡的菜單上的餐點名稱。比如說像「咖哩可樂餅」(五字詞)、「芒果皇冠蛋糕」(六字詞)、「鮭魚明太子沙拉」(七字詞)、「法式油封櫻桃鴨腿」(八字詞)、「唐揚雞豆腐海澡沙拉」(九字詞)…等等，這些特殊的菜名，因為平常在其它「非美味食記」的文章中出現頻率很低，因此其它基於模型的工具都無法順利處理的長名食物。但這在 Articut 面前都不是問題，因為 Articut 就不是靠頻率模型在運作的呀！

在這次的計算中，我們不採計像「霸味薑母鴨」這類的詞條。為的是有的人覺得「這不是食物名，這是店名」。但它如果是店名的話，就更可能會出現在 CKIPTagger 的 FAC 這一類裡呀！我們不採計的話，豈不是對 CKIPTagger 不公平嗎？

於是，我們立刻啟動「工．人．智．慧」，再用人力讀一次四套 NLP 工具處理結果中，各個不同長度下的前 200 名常見詞。不同的是，這次「就算那個詞條明明是店名，只要裡面含有食物的名稱，我們也採計」吧！結果如下…

的確，藍線的 CKIPTagger 在五～九字長度的詞彙的分數提高了。表示 FAC 這個類別裡，的確有一些「店名+食物」的分數被加回來了。但在這個標準下，綠色的 Articut 的分數更高！

這表示，Articut 這種網子，在同一個蝦池裡撈的時候，不論是 2-gram 長度的小蝦米，還是 9-gram 尺寸的大龍蝦，它都撈得到！各種尺寸的結果都保持領先！

結論：

很明顯地，如果要選擇一個 NLP 處理工具來準備可以讓機器學習什麼是「食物名稱」的模型的話，採用 Articut 的結果，是可以大大地降低人工標記的時間和人力成本的。這麼一來，我們終於有一個良好的起點，可以教教上面那隻「偽」機器貓，人類都吃些什麼玩意兒了！

What my first Silver Medal taught me about Text Classification and Kaggle?

Kaggle is an excellent place for learning. And I learned a lot of things from the recently concluded competition on Quora Insincere questions classification in which I got a rank of 182/4037. In this post, I will try to provide a summary of the things I tried. I will also try to summarize the ideas which I missed but were a part of other winning solutions.

As a side note: if you want to know more about NLP, I would like to recommend this excellent course on Natural Language Processing in the Advanced machine learning specialization. You can start for free with the 7-day Free Trial. This course covers a wide range of tasks in Natural Language Processing from basic to advanced: sentiment analysis, summarization, dialogue state tracking, to name a few. You can start for free with the 7-day Free Trial.

So first a little bit of summary about the competition for the uninitiated. In this competition, we had to develop models that identify and flag insincere questions. The challenge was not only a test for performance but also a test of efficient code writing skills. As it was a kernel competition with limited outside data options, competitors were limited to use only the word embeddings provided by the competition organizers. That means we were not allowed to use State of the art models like BERT. We were also limited in the sense that all our models should run in a time of 2 hours. So say bye bye to stacking and monster ensembles though some solutions were able to do this by making their code ultra-efficient. More on this later.

Some Kaggle Learnings:

There were a couple of learnings about kaggle as a whole that I would like to share before jumping into my final solution:

1. Always trust your CV

One of the things that genuinely baffled a lot of people in this competition was that a good CV score did not necessarily translate well to a good LB score. The main reason for this was small test dataset(only 65k rows) in the first stage(around 15% of total test data).

A common theme on discussion forums was focussing on which submissions we should select as the final submission:

The one having the best local CV? or

The one having the best LB?

And while it seems simple to say to trust your CV, common sense goes for a toss when you see that your LB score is going down or remaining constant whenever your Local CV score increases.

Luckily I didn’t end up making the mistake of not trusting my CV score. Owing to a lot of excellent posts on Kaggle discussion board, I selected a kernel with Public LB score of 0.697 and a Local CV of 0.701, which was around >1200 rank on Public LB as of the final submission. It achieved a score of 0.702 and ranked 182 on the private LB.

While this seems like a straightforward choice post-facto, it was a hard decision to make at a time when you have at your disposal some public kernels having Public LB score >= 0.70

2. Use the code from public kernels but check for errors

This Pytorch kernel by Benjamin Minixhofer is awesome. It made the base of many of my submissions for this competition. But this kernel had a mistake. It didn’t implement spatial dropout in the right way. You can find the correct implementation of spatial dropout in my post here or on my kernel. Implementing spatial dropout in the right way gave a boost of around 0.004 to the local CV.

Nonetheless, I learned pytorch using this kernel, and I am grateful to him for the same.

3. Don’t trust everything that goes on the discussion forums

I will talk about two things here:

Seed tuning: While in the middle of the competition, everyone was trying to get the best possible rank on the public LB. It is just human nature. A lot of discussions was around good seeds and bad seeds for neural network initialization. While it seems okay in the first look, the conversation went a stage further where people started tuning seeds in the kernel as a hyper param. Some discussions even went on to say that it was a valid strategy. And that is where a large amount of overfitting to public LB started happening. The same submission would score 0.704 from 0.699 just by changing the seed. For a reference, that meant you could go from anywhere near 400-500 rank to top 50 only by changing seed in a public kernel. And that spelled disaster. Some people did that. They went up the public LB. Went crashing out at the private stage.

CV score disclosure on discussion forums: We always try to gauge our performance against other people. In a lot of discussions, people provided their CV scores and corresponding Public LB scores. The scores were all over the place and not comparable due to Different CV schemes, No of folds in CV, Metric reported, Overfitting or just plain Wrong implementation of Cross-Validation. But they ended up influencing a lot of starters and newcomers.

4. On that note, be active on Discussion forums and check public kernels regularly

You can learn a lot just by being part of discussion forums and following public kernels. This competition had a lot of excellent public kernels on embeddings by SRK, Models by Shujian, and Preprocessing by Theo Viel which gave everyone a headstart. As the competition progressed, the discussions also evolved. There were discussions on speeding up the code, working approaches, F1 threshold finders, and other exciting topics which kept me occupied with new ideas and improvements.

Even after the end, while reading up discussions on solutions overview, I learned a lot. And I would say it is very ** vital to check out the winning solutions.**

5. Share a lot

Sharing is everything on Kaggle. People have shared their codes as well as their ideas while competing as well as after the competition ended. It is only together that we can go forward. I like blogging, so I am sharing the knowledge via a series of blog posts on text classification. The first post talked about the different preprocessing techniques that work with Deep learning models and increasing embeddings coverage. In the second post, I talked through some basic conventional models like TFIDF, Count Vectorizer, Hashing, etc. that have been used in text classification and tried to access their performance to create a baseline. In the third post, I will delve deeper into Deep learning models and the various architectures we could use to solve the text Classification problem. To make this post platform generic I will try to write code in both Keras and Pytorch. We will try to use various other models which we were not able to use in this competition like ULMFit transfer learning approaches in the fourth post in the series.

It might take me a little time to write the whole series. Till then you can take a look at my other posts too: What Kagglers are using for Text Classification, which talks about various deep learning models in use in NLP and how to switch from Keras to Pytorch.

6. Beware of trolls :)

We were going along happily towards the end of the competition with two weeks left. Scores were increasing slowly. The top players were somewhat stagnant. And then came Pavel and team with a Public LB score of 0.782. The next group had an LB score of 0.713. Such a huge difference. I was so sure that there was some leakage in the data which nobody has caught yet except for Pavel. I spent nearly half a day to do EDA again.

In the end, it turned out that what they did was scraping — nicely played!

They also have some pretty awesome ideas around including additional data, which could have worked but did not in this competition.

My Final Solution:

My main focus was on meta-feature engineering and on increasing embedding coverage and quality. That means I did not play much with various Neural Net architectures. Here are the things that I included in my final submission:

I noticed that Glove embeddings were doing good on the local CV but not on LB, while meta embeddings(mean of glove and paragram) were doing good on LB but not that good on the CV. I took a mixed approach so some of my models are trained with only glove embedding and some on meta embeddings.

Included four more features in embedding. Thus my embedding was a 304-dimensional vector. The four new values corresponded to title case flag, uppercase flag, Textblob word polarity, textblob word subjectivity

Found out NER tokens from the whole train and test data using spacy and kept the tokens and the entities in a dict. I used this dict to create extra features like counts of GPE, PERSON, ORG, NORP, WORK_OF_ART.Added some value and were highly correlated with the target.

Other features that I used include total_length,capitals,words_vs_unique as well as some engineered features like sum_feat(sum of expletives), question_start_with_why, question_start_with_how_or_what, question_start_with_do_or_are. Might not have added much value but still kept them.

My final solution consisted of a stacked ensemble for four models. I stacked the four models using Logistic regression(with positive weights and 0 intercept) and gave the weights as a list in the final kernel.

You can find the kernel for my final submission here.

Tips and Tricks used in other solutions:

1. Increasing Embeddings Coverage:

In the third place solution kernel, wowfattie uses stemming, lemmatization, capitalize, lower, uppercase, as well as embedding of the nearest word using a spell checker to get embeddings for all words in his vocab. Such a great idea. I liked this solution the best as it can do what I was trying to do and finished at a pretty good place. Also, the code is very clean.

from nltk.stem import PorterStemmer ps = PorterStemmer() from nltk.stem.lancaster import LancasterStemmer lc = LancasterStemmer() from nltk.stem import SnowballStemmer sb = SnowballStemmer("english") def load_glove(word_dict, lemma_dict): EMBEDDING_FILE = '../input/embeddings/glove.840B.300d/glove.840B.300d.txt' def get_coefs(word,*arr): return word, np.asarray(arr, dtype='float32') embeddings_index = dict(get_coefs(*o.split(" ")) for o in open(EMBEDDING_FILE)) embed_size = 300 nb_words = len(word_dict)+1 embedding_matrix = np.zeros((nb_words, embed_size), dtype=np.float32) unknown_vector = np.zeros((embed_size,), dtype=np.float32) - 1. print(unknown_vector[:5]) for key in tqdm(word_dict): word = key embedding_vector = embeddings_index.get(word) if embedding_vector is not None: embedding_matrix[word_dict[key]] = embedding_vector continue word = key.lower() embedding_vector = embeddings_index.get(word) if embedding_vector is not None: embedding_matrix[word_dict[key]] = embedding_vector continue word = key.upper() embedding_vector = embeddings_index.get(word) if embedding_vector is not None: embedding_matrix[word_dict[key]] = embedding_vector continue word = key.capitalize() embedding_vector = embeddings_index.get(word) if embedding_vector is not None: embedding_matrix[word_dict[key]] = embedding_vector continue word = ps.stem(key) embedding_vector = embeddings_index.get(word) if embedding_vector is not None: embedding_matrix[word_dict[key]] = embedding_vector continue word = lc.stem(key) embedding_vector = embeddings_index.get(word) if embedding_vector is not None: embedding_matrix[word_dict[key]] = embedding_vector continue word = sb.stem(key) embedding_vector = embeddings_index.get(word) if embedding_vector is not None: embedding_matrix[word_dict[key]] = embedding_vector continue word = lemma_dict[key] embedding_vector = embeddings_index.get(word) if embedding_vector is not None: embedding_matrix[word_dict[key]] = embedding_vector continue if len(key) > 1: word = correction(key) embedding_vector = embeddings_index.get(word) if embedding_vector is not None: embedding_matrix[word_dict[key]] = embedding_vector continue embedding_matrix[word_dict[key]] = unknown_vector return embedding_matrix, nb_words

2. Checkpoint Ensembling:

Get a lot of models at no cost. Most of the winning solutions have some version of checkpoint ensembling. For the third place solution, the predictions are a weighted average of predictions after the 4th epoch and predictions after the 5th epoch. I got this idea but forgot to implement it in my ensemble based kernel submission.

A lot of winning solutions ended up using weighted meta embeddings where they provided a higher weight to the Glove embedding. Some solutions also used concatenated embeddings.

4. Model Architecture:

One surprising thing I saw people doing was to use a 1Dconv layer just after the Bidirectional layer. For example, This is the architecture used by the team that placed first in the competition.

5. Bucketing/Variable Sequence Length and increased hidden units:

Another thing I noticed is the increased number of hidden units as compared to many public kernels. Most of the public kernels used a hidden unit size of 60 due to time constraints. I used 80 units at the cost of training one less network. A lot of high scoring kernels were able to use a higher number of hidden units owing to variable sequence length idea or bucketing. From the 1st place kernel discussion:

We do not pad sequences to the same length based on the whole data, but just on a batch level. That means we conduct padding and truncation on the data generator level for each batch separately, so that length of the sentences in a batch can vary in size. Additionally, we further improved this by not truncating based on the length of the longest sequence in the batch but based on the 95% percentile of lengths within the sequence. This improved runtime heavily and kept accuracy quite robust on single model level, and improved it by being able to average more models.

Also from 7th place discussion:

Bucketing is to make a minibatch from instances that have similar lengths to alleviate the cost of padding. This makes the training speed more than 3x faster, and thus I can run 9 epochs for each split of 5-fold.

Thus the use of this technique also allowed some competitors to fit many more epochs in less time and run more models at the same time. Pretty Neat!

6. For those winners who didn’t use bucketing, Maxlen = 72 was too large:

Most of us saw a distribution of question length and took the length that covered maximum questions fully as the maxlen parameter. I never tried to tune it, but it seems like it could have been tuned. One of the tricks was to use maxlen ranging from 35 to 60. This made the kernels run a lot faster.

7. Time taking models/complex architectures like Capsule were mostly not used:

Most of the winning solutions didn’t use capsule networks as they took a lot of time to train.

8. Backprop errors on embeddings weights in last few epochs:

Another thing I saw was in the 18th place kernel which uses a single model

if epoch >= 3: model.embedding.embeddings.weight.requires_grad = True

Conclusion:

It was a good and long 2-month competition, and I learned a lot about Text and NLP during this time. I want to emphasize here is that I ended up trying a lot of things that didn’t work before reaching my final solution. It was a little frustrating at times, but in the end, I was happy that I ended up with the best data science practices. Would also like to thank Kaggle master Kazanova who along with some of his friends released a “How to win a data science competition” Coursera course. I learned a lot from this course.

Let me know in the comments if you think something is missing/wrong or if I could add more tips/tricks for this competition.

(It is determined by adding together the values for all the letters in your full birth name.) . * Your Destiny number is 7 :         Your destiny requires you to be a seeker of deeper truths & to separate yourself in some way from everyday, mundane concerns so that you may concentrate on understanding the underlying causes & deeper meanings, the hidden side of life . Studious, introspective, analytical & deep, you are drawn to the study of psychology, philosophy, religion & metaphysics, or to scientific investigation . You are thoughtful, intuitive & insightful & have much to offer people who ask serious questions & are seeking wisdom, but "naturally" you have no taste for superficial interactions & light sociability . Sensitive, discriminating & something of a perfectionist, you choose carefully who you associate with & how you spend your time . Periods of solitude (for quiet reflection, meditation, or study) are very necessary for you . You are also inclined to be gloomy at times (considering the state of the world & such) & find retreating to nature, especially to the ocean, will restore your spirits . . . ღ❤ღ ◌ೋ ℳ𝐚ħ𝔪σ𝔲đ ╰♀╮ ❤✿❤ #Love, #Harmony & #Prosperity ✨🌌💕 . #Awareness #Astrology #Authenticity #Integrity #Work_of_Art #TrueSelf #Originality #Spirituality #LifePurpose #SoulHappiness 🌻 #Energy #Perspective #Enlightenment ♀️ #Nothing_But_The_Best ♂️ https://www.instagram.com/astromouda/p/BxWSRMinbUQ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=104hettmsrhal
