自 Transformers 出现以来，基于它的结构已经颠覆了自然语言处理和计算机视觉，带来各种非结构化数据业务场景和任务的巨大效果突破，接着大家把目光转向了结构化业务数据，它是否能在结构化表格数据上同样有惊人的效果表现呢？

答案是YES！亚马逊在论文中提出的 📘TabTransformer，是一种把结构调整后适应于结构化表格数据的网络结构，它更擅长于捕捉传统结构化表格数据中不同类型的数据信息，并将其结合以完成预估任务。下面ShowMeAI给大家讲解构建 TabTransformer 并将其应用于结构化数据上的过程。

💡 环境设置

本篇使用到的深度学习框架为TensorFlow，大家需要安装2.7或更高版本，我们还需要安装一下 📘TensorFlow插件addons，安装的过程大家可以通过下述命令完成：

pip install -U tensorflow tensorflow-addons

关于本篇代码实现中使用到的TensorFlow工具库，大家可以查看ShowMeAI制作的TensorFlow速查手册快学快用：

接下来我们导入工具库

import math
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
import tensorflow as tf
from tensorflow import keras
from tensorflow.keras import layers
import tensorflow_addons as tfa
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

💡 数据说明

ShowMeAI在本例中使用到的是 🏆美国人口普查收入数据集，任务是根据人口基本信息预测其年收入是否可能超过 50,000 美元，是一个二分类问题。

数据集可以在以下地址下载：

📘 https://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/datasets/Adult

📘 https://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/machine-learning-databases/adult/

数据从美国1994年人口普查数据库抽取而来，可以用来预测居民收入是否超过50K/year。该数据集类变量为年收入是否超过50k，属性变量包含年龄、工种、学历、职业、人种等重要信息，值得一提的是，14个属性变量中有7个类别型变量。数据集各属性是：其中序号0~13是属性，14是类别。

字段序号	字段名	含义	类型
0	age	年龄	Double
1	workclass	工作类型*	string
2	fnlwgt	序号	string
3	education	教育程度*	string
4	education_num	受教育时间	double
5	maritial_status	婚姻状况*	string
6	occupation	职业*	string
7	relationship	关系*	string
8	race	种族*	string
9	sex	性别*	string
10	capital_gain	资本收益	string
11	capital_loss	资本损失	string
12	hours_per_week	每周工作小时数	double
13	native_country	原籍*	string
14(label)	income	收入标签	string

我们先用pandas读取数据到dataframe中：

CSV_HEADER = [
    "age",
    "workclass",
    "fnlwgt",
    "education",
    "education_num",
    "marital_status",
    "occupation",
    "relationship",
    "race",
    "gender",
    "capital_gain",
    "capital_loss",
    "hours_per_week",
    "native_country",
    "income_bracket",
]

train_data_url = (
    "https://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/machine-learning-databases/adult/adult.data"
)
train_data = pd.read_csv(train_data_url, header=None, names=CSV_HEADER)

test_data_url = (
    "https://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/machine-learning-databases/adult/adult.test"
)
test_data = pd.read_csv(test_data_url, header=None, names=CSV_HEADER)

print(f"Train dataset shape: {train_data.shape}")
print(f"Test dataset shape: {test_data.shape}")
Train dataset shape: (32561, 15)
Test dataset shape: (16282, 15)

我们做点数据清洗，把测试集第一条记录剔除（它不是有效的数据示例），把类标签中的尾随的“点”去掉。

test_data = test_data[1:]
test_data.income_bracket = test_data.income_bracket.apply(
    lambda value: value.replace(".", "")
)

再把训练集和测试集存回单独的 CSV 文件中。

train_data_file = "train_data.csv"
test_data_file = "test_data.csv"

train_data.to_csv(train_data_file, index=False, header=False)
test_data.to_csv(test_data_file, index=False, header=False)

💡 模型原理

TabTransformer的模型架构如下所示：

我们可以看到，类别型的特征，很适合在 embedding 后，送入 transformer 模块进行深度交叉组合与信息挖掘，得到的信息与右侧的连续值特征进行拼接，再送入全连接的 MLP 模块进行组合和完成最后的任务（分类或者回归）。

💡 模型实现

📌 定义数据集元数据

要实现模型，我们先对输入数据字段，区分不同的类型（数值型特征与类别型特征）。我们会对不同类型的特征，使用不同的方式进行处理和完成特征工程（例如数值型的特征进行幅度缩放，类别型的特征进行编码处理）。

## 数值特征字段
NUMERIC_FEATURE_NAMES = [
    "age",
    "education_num",
    "capital_gain",
    "capital_loss",
    "hours_per_week",
]
## 类别型特征字段及其取值列表
CATEGORICAL_FEATURES_WITH_VOCABULARY = {
    "workclass": sorted(list(train_data["workclass"].unique())),
    "education": sorted(list(train_data["education"].unique())),
    "marital_status": sorted(list(train_data["marital_status"].unique())),
    "occupation": sorted(list(train_data["occupation"].unique())),
    "relationship": sorted(list(train_data["relationship"].unique())),
    "race": sorted(list(train_data["race"].unique())),
    "gender": sorted(list(train_data["gender"].unique())),
    "native_country": sorted(list(train_data["native_country"].unique())),
}
## 权重字段
WEIGHT_COLUMN_NAME = "fnlwgt"
## 类别型字段名称
CATEGORICAL_FEATURE_NAMES = list(CATEGORICAL_FEATURES_WITH_VOCABULARY.keys())
## 所有的输入特征
FEATURE_NAMES = NUMERIC_FEATURE_NAMES + CATEGORICAL_FEATURE_NAMES
## 默认填充的取值
COLUMN_DEFAULTS = [
    [0.0] if feature_name in NUMERIC_FEATURE_NAMES + [WEIGHT_COLUMN_NAME] else ["NA"]
    for feature_name in CSV_HEADER
]
## 目标字段
TARGET_FEATURE_NAME = "income_bracket"
## 目标字段取值
TARGET_LABELS = [" <=50K", " >50K"]

📌 配置超参数

我们为神经网络的结构和训练过程的超参数进行设置，如下。

# 学习率
LEARNING_RATE = 0.001
# 学习率衰减
WEIGHT_DECAY = 0.0001
# 随机失活 概率参数
DROPOUT_RATE = 0.2
# 批数据大小
BATCH_SIZE = 265
# 总训练轮次数
NUM_EPOCHS = 15

# transformer块的数量
NUM_TRANSFORMER_BLOCKS = 3
# 注意力头的数量
NUM_HEADS = 4
# 类别型embedding嵌入的维度
EMBEDDING_DIMS = 16
# MLP隐层单元数量
MLP_HIDDEN_UNITS_FACTORS = [
    2,
    1,
]
# MLP块的数量
NUM_MLP_BLOCKS = 2

📌 实现数据读取管道

下面我们定义一个输入函数，它负责读取和解析文件，并对特征和标签处理，放入 tf.data.Dataset，以便后续训练和评估。

target_label_lookup = layers.StringLookup(
    vocabulary=TARGET_LABELS, mask_token=None, num_oov_indices=0
)


def prepare_example(features, target):
    target_index = target_label_lookup(target)
    weights = features.pop(WEIGHT_COLUMN_NAME)
    return features, target_index, weights

# 从csv中读取数据
def get_dataset_from_csv(csv_file_path, batch_size=128, shuffle=False):
    dataset = tf.data.experimental.make_csv_dataset(
        csv_file_path,
        batch_size=batch_size,
        column_names=CSV_HEADER,
        column_defaults=COLUMN_DEFAULTS,
        label_name=TARGET_FEATURE_NAME,
        num_epochs=1,
        header=False,
        na_value="?",
        shuffle=shuffle,
    ).map(prepare_example, num_parallel_calls=tf.data.AUTOTUNE, deterministic=False)
    return dataset.cache()

📌 模型构建与评估

def run_experiment(
    model,
    train_data_file,
    test_data_file,
    num_epochs,
    learning_rate,
    weight_decay,
    batch_size,
):
    # 优化器
    optimizer = tfa.optimizers.AdamW(
        learning_rate=learning_rate, weight_decay=weight_decay
    )
    # 模型编译
    model.compile(
        optimizer=optimizer,
        loss=keras.losses.BinaryCrossentropy(),
        metrics=[keras.metrics.BinaryAccuracy(name="accuracy")],
    )
    # 训练集与验证集
    train_dataset = get_dataset_from_csv(train_data_file, batch_size, shuffle=True)
    validation_dataset = get_dataset_from_csv(test_data_file, batch_size)
    
    # 模型训练
    print("Start training the model...")
    history = model.fit(
        train_dataset, epochs=num_epochs, validation_data=validation_dataset
    )
    print("Model training finished")
    
    # 模型评估
    _, accuracy = model.evaluate(validation_dataset, verbose=0)

    print(f"Validation accuracy: {round(accuracy * 100, 2)}%")

    return history

① 创建模型输入

基于 TensorFlow 的输入要求，我们将模型的输入定义为字典，其中『key/键』是特征名称，『value/值』为 keras.layers.Input具有相应特征形状的张量和数据类型。

def create_model_inputs():
    inputs = {}
    for feature_name in FEATURE_NAMES:
        if feature_name in NUMERIC_FEATURE_NAMES:
            inputs[feature_name] = layers.Input(
                name=feature_name, shape=(), dtype=tf.float32
            )
        else:
            inputs[feature_name] = layers.Input(
                name=feature_name, shape=(), dtype=tf.string
            )
    return inputs

② 编码特征

我们定义一个encode_inputs函数，返回encoded_categorical_feature_list和 numerical_feature_list。我们将分类特征编码为嵌入，使用固定的embedding_dims对于所有功能，无论他们的词汇量大小。这是 Transformer 模型所必需的。

def encode_inputs(inputs, embedding_dims):

    encoded_categorical_feature_list = []
    numerical_feature_list = []

    for feature_name in inputs:
        if feature_name in CATEGORICAL_FEATURE_NAMES:

            # 获取类别型特征的不同取值(vocabulary)
            vocabulary = CATEGORICAL_FEATURES_WITH_VOCABULARY[feature_name]

            # 构建lookup table去构建 类别型取值 和 索引 的相互映射
            lookup = layers.StringLookup(
                vocabulary=vocabulary,
                mask_token=None,
                num_oov_indices=0,
                output_mode="int",
            )

            # 类别型字符串取值 转为 整型索引
            encoded_feature = lookup(inputs[feature_name])

            # 构建embedding层
            embedding = layers.Embedding(
                input_dim=len(vocabulary), output_dim=embedding_dims
            )

            # 为索引构建embedding嵌入
            encoded_categorical_feature = embedding(encoded_feature)
            encoded_categorical_feature_list.append(encoded_categorical_feature)

        else:

            # 数值型特征
            numerical_feature = tf.expand_dims(inputs[feature_name], -1)
            numerical_feature_list.append(numerical_feature)

    return encoded_categorical_feature_list, numerical_feature_list

③ MLP模块实现

网络中不可或缺的部分是 MLP 全连接板块，下面是它的简单实现：

def create_mlp(hidden_units, dropout_rate, activation, normalization_layer, name=None):

    mlp_layers = []
    for units in hidden_units:
        mlp_layers.append(normalization_layer),
        mlp_layers.append(layers.Dense(units, activation=activation))
        mlp_layers.append(layers.Dropout(dropout_rate))

    return keras.Sequential(mlp_layers, name=name)

④ 模型实现1：基线模型

为了对比效果，我们先简单使用MLP（多层前馈网络）进行建模，代码和注释如下。

def create_baseline_model(
    embedding_dims, num_mlp_blocks, mlp_hidden_units_factors, dropout_rate
):

    # 创建输入.
    inputs = create_model_inputs()
    # 特征编码
    encoded_categorical_feature_list, numerical_feature_list = encode_inputs(
        inputs, embedding_dims
    )
    # 拼接所有特征
    features = layers.concatenate(
        encoded_categorical_feature_list + numerical_feature_list
    )
    # 前向计算
    feedforward_units = [features.shape[-1]]

    # 构建全连接，并且添加跳跃连接(skip-connection)
    for layer_idx in range(num_mlp_blocks):
        features = create_mlp(
            hidden_units=feedforward_units,
            dropout_rate=dropout_rate,
            activation=keras.activations.gelu,
            normalization_layer=layers.LayerNormalization(epsilon=1e-6),
            name=f"feedforward_{layer_idx}",
        )(features)

    # MLP全连接的隐层结果
    mlp_hidden_units = [
        factor * features.shape[-1] for factor in mlp_hidden_units_factors
    ]
    # 最终的MLP网络
    features = create_mlp(
        hidden_units=mlp_hidden_units,
        dropout_rate=dropout_rate,
        activation=keras.activations.selu,
        normalization_layer=layers.BatchNormalization(),
        name="MLP",
    )(features)

    # 添加sigmoid构建二分类器
    outputs = layers.Dense(units=1, activation="sigmoid", name="sigmoid")(features)
    model = keras.Model(inputs=inputs, outputs=outputs)
    return model

# 完整的模型
baseline_model = create_baseline_model(
    embedding_dims=EMBEDDING_DIMS,
    num_mlp_blocks=NUM_MLP_BLOCKS,
    mlp_hidden_units_factors=MLP_HIDDEN_UNITS_FACTORS,
    dropout_rate=DROPOUT_RATE,
)

print("Total model weights:", baseline_model.count_params())
keras.utils.plot_model(baseline_model, show_shapes=True, rankdir="LR")
# Total model weights: 109629

上述模型构建完成之后，我们通过plot_model操作，绘制出模型结构如下：

接下来我们训练和评估一下基线模型：

history = run_experiment(
    model=baseline_model,
    train_data_file=train_data_file,
    test_data_file=test_data_file,
    num_epochs=NUM_EPOCHS,
    learning_rate=LEARNING_RATE,
    weight_decay=WEIGHT_DECAY,
    batch_size=BATCH_SIZE,
)

输出的训练过程日志如下：

我们可以看到基线模型(全连接MLP网络)实现了约 82% 的验证准确度。

⑤ 模型实现2：TabTransformer

TabTransformer 架构的工作原理如下：

所有类别型特征都被编码为嵌入，使用相同的 embedding_dims。
将列嵌入（每个类别型特征的一个嵌入向量）添加类别型特征嵌入中。
嵌入的类别型特征被输入到一系列的 Transformer 块中。每个 Transformer 块由一个多头自注意力层和一个前馈层组成。
最终 Transformer 层的输出，与输入的数值型特征连接，并输入到最终的 MLP 块中。
尾部由一个 softmax结构完成分类。

def create_tabtransformer_classifier(
    num_transformer_blocks,
    num_heads,
    embedding_dims,
    mlp_hidden_units_factors,
    dropout_rate,
    use_column_embedding=False,
):

    # 构建输入
    inputs = create_model_inputs()
    # 编码特征
    encoded_categorical_feature_list, numerical_feature_list = encode_inputs(
        inputs, embedding_dims
    )
    # 堆叠类别型特征的embeddings，为输入Tansformer做准备
    encoded_categorical_features = tf.stack(encoded_categorical_feature_list, axis=1)
    # 拼接数值型特征
    numerical_features = layers.concatenate(numerical_feature_list)

    # embedding
    if use_column_embedding:
        num_columns = encoded_categorical_features.shape[1]
        column_embedding = layers.Embedding(
            input_dim=num_columns, output_dim=embedding_dims
        )
        column_indices = tf.range(start=0, limit=num_columns, delta=1)
        encoded_categorical_features = encoded_categorical_features + column_embedding(
            column_indices
        )

    # 构建Transformer块
    for block_idx in range(num_transformer_blocks):
        # 多头自注意力
        attention_output = layers.MultiHeadAttention(
            num_heads=num_heads,
            key_dim=embedding_dims,
            dropout=dropout_rate,
            name=f"multihead_attention_{block_idx}",
        )(encoded_categorical_features, encoded_categorical_features)
        # 第1个跳接/Skip connection
        x = layers.Add(name=f"skip_connection1_{block_idx}")(
            [attention_output, encoded_categorical_features]
        )
        # 第1个层归一化/Layer normalization
        x = layers.LayerNormalization(name=f"layer_norm1_{block_idx}", epsilon=1e-6)(x)
        # 全连接层
        feedforward_output = create_mlp(
            hidden_units=[embedding_dims],
            dropout_rate=dropout_rate,
            activation=keras.activations.gelu,
            normalization_layer=layers.LayerNormalization(epsilon=1e-6),
            name=f"feedforward_{block_idx}",
        )(x)
        # 第2个跳接/Skip connection
        x = layers.Add(name=f"skip_connection2_{block_idx}")([feedforward_output, x])
        # 第2个层归一化/Layer normalization
        encoded_categorical_features = layers.LayerNormalization(
            name=f"layer_norm2_{block_idx}", epsilon=1e-6
        )(x)

    # 展平embeddings
    categorical_features = layers.Flatten()(encoded_categorical_features)
    # 对数值型特征做层归一化
    numerical_features = layers.LayerNormalization(epsilon=1e-6)(numerical_features)
    # 拼接作为最终MLP的输入
    features = layers.concatenate([categorical_features, numerical_features])

    # 计算MLP隐层单元
    mlp_hidden_units = [
        factor * features.shape[-1] for factor in mlp_hidden_units_factors
    ]
    # 构建最终的MLP.
    features = create_mlp(
        hidden_units=mlp_hidden_units,
        dropout_rate=dropout_rate,
        activation=keras.activations.selu,
        normalization_layer=layers.BatchNormalization(),
        name="MLP",
    )(features)

    # 添加sigmoid构建二分类
    outputs = layers.Dense(units=1, activation="sigmoid", name="sigmoid")(features)
    model = keras.Model(inputs=inputs, outputs=outputs)
    return model


tabtransformer_model = create_tabtransformer_classifier(
    num_transformer_blocks=NUM_TRANSFORMER_BLOCKS,
    num_heads=NUM_HEADS,
    embedding_dims=EMBEDDING_DIMS,
    mlp_hidden_units_factors=MLP_HIDDEN_UNITS_FACTORS,
    dropout_rate=DROPOUT_RATE,
)

print("Total model weights:", tabtransformer_model.count_params())
keras.utils.plot_model(tabtransformer_model, show_shapes=True, rankdir="LR")
#Total model weights: 87479

最终输出的模型结构示意图如下（因为模型结构较深，总体很长，点击放大）

下面我们训练和评估一下TabTransformer 模型的效果：

history = run_experiment(
    model=tabtransformer_model,
    train_data_file=train_data_file,
    test_data_file=test_data_file,
    num_epochs=NUM_EPOCHS,
    learning_rate=LEARNING_RATE,
