DeepHyperion-MNIST

Input test generator using illumination search algorithm

General Information

This folder contains the application of the DeepHyperion approach to the handwritten digit classification problem. This tool is developed in Python on top of the DEAP evolutionary computation framework. It has been tested on a machine featuring an i7 processor, 16 GB of RAM, an Nvidia GeForce 940MX GPU with 2GB of memory. These instructions are for Ubuntu 18.04 (bionic) OS and python 3.6.

Dependencies

NOTE: If you want to use DeepHyperion-MNIST easily without configuring your environment from scratch, you can also see Getting Started

Configuring Ubuntu

Pull an Ubuntu Docker image, run and configure it by typing in the terminal:

docker pull ubuntu:bionic
docker run -it --rm ubuntu:bionic
apt update && apt-get update
apt-get install -y software-properties-common

Installing git

Use the following command to install git:

apt install -y git

Copy the project into the docker container

To copy DeepHyperion-MNIST inside the docker container, open another console and run:

cd <DEEP_HYPERION_HOME>
docker cp DeepHyperion-MNIST/ <DOCKER_ID>:/

Where <DEEP_HYPERION_HOME> is the location in which you downloaded the artifact and <DOCKER_ID> is the ID of the ubuntu docker image just started.

You can find the id of the docker image using the following command:

docker ps -a

CONTAINER ID   IMAGE           COMMAND       CREATED          STATUS          PORTS     NAMES
13e590d65e60   ubuntu:bionic   "/bin/bash"   2 minutes ago   Up 2 minutes             recursing_bhabha

Installing Python 3.6

Install Python 3.6:

add-apt-repository ppa:deadsnakes/ppa
apt update
apt install -y python3.6

And check if it is correctly installed, by typing the following command:

python3 -V

Python 3.6.9

Check that the version of python matches 3.6.*.

Installing pip

Use the following commands to install pip and upgrade it to the latest version:

apt install -y python3-pip
python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip

Once the installation is complete, verify the installation by checking the pip version:

python3 -m pip --version

pip 21.1.1 from /usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/pip (python 3.6)

Creating a Python virtual environment

Install the venv module in the docker container:

apt install -y python3-venv

Create the python virtual environment:

cd /DeepHyperion-MNIST
python3 -m venv .venv

Activate the python virtual environment and updated pip again (venv comes with an old version of the tool):

. .venv/bin/activate
pip install --upgrade pip

Installing Python Binding to the Potrace library

Install Python Binding to the Potrace library.

apt install -y build-essential python-dev libagg-dev libpotrace-dev pkg-config

Install pypotrace (commit 76c76be2458eb2b56fcbd3bec79b1b4077e35d9e):

cd /
git clone https://github.com/flupke/pypotrace.git
cd pypotrace
git checkout 76c76be2458eb2b56fcbd3bec79b1b4077e35d9e
pip install numpy
pip install .

To install PyCairo and PyGObject, we follow the instructions provided by https://pygobject.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting_started.html#ubuntu-getting-started.

apt install -y python3-gi python3-gi-cairo gir1.2-gtk-3.0
apt install -y libgirepository1.0-dev gcc libcairo2-dev pkg-config python3-dev gir1.2-gtk-3.0 librsvg2-dev

Installing Other Dependencies

This tool has other dependencies, including tensorflow and deap, that can be installed via pip:

cd /DeepHyperion-MNIST
pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

Input

A trained model in h5 format. The default one is in the folder models;
A list of seeds used for the input generation. In this implementation, the seeds are indexes of elements of the MNIST dataset. The default list is in the file bootstraps_five;
properties.py containing the configuration of the tool selected by the user.

Run the Tool

To use the tool as DeepHyperion, in properties.py, set the parameters as follow:

SELECTIONOP    = str(os.getenv('DH_SELECTIONOP', 'random')) 
SELECTIONPROB    = float(os.getenv('DH_SELECTIONPROB', '0.0'))

To use the tool as DeepHyperion-CS, in properties.py, set the parameters as follow:

SELECTIONOP    = str(os.getenv('DH_SELECTIONOP', 'ranked')) 
SELECTIONPROB    = float(os.getenv('DH_SELECTIONPROB', '0.5'))

and then to run each of the tools use the following command:

python mapelites_mnist.py

Output

When the run is finished, the tool produces the following outputs in the logs folder:

maps representing inputs distribution;
json files containing the final reports of the run;
folders containing the generated inputs (in image format).

Troubleshooting

if pip cannot install the correct version of opencv-python check whether you upgraded pip correctly after you activate the virtual environment .venv
If tensorflow cannot be installed successfully, try to upgrade the pip version. Tensorflow cannot be installed by old versions of pip. We recommend the pip version 20.1.1.
If the import of cairo, potrace or other modules fails, check that the correct version is installed. The correct version is reported in the file requirements.txt. The version of a module can be checked with the following command:

pip3 show modulename | grep Version

To fix the problem and install a specific version, use the following command:

pip3 install 'modulename==moduleversion' --force-reinstall
