DLPy - SAS Viya Deep Learning API for Python

SAS Deep Learning Icon

An efficient way to apply deep learning methods to image, text, and audio data.

SAS Viya Version Python Version Python Version

Overview

DLPy is a high-level Python library for the SAS Deep learning features available in SAS Viya. DLPy is designed to provide an efficient way to apply deep learning methods to image, text, and audio data. DLPy APIs are created following the Keras APIs with a touch of PyTorch flavor.

Recently Added Features

  • DLPy now supports the DLModelzoo action through the use of MZModel.
  • Real-time plots for hyper-parameter tuning are available with DLModelzoo.
  • New examples are available for APIs with DLModelzoo.
  • Segmentation models can produce PNG/base64 output.
  • Additional pre-defined network architectures are available. Examples include ENet and Efficient-Net.

Prerequisites

  • You must use Python version 3.3 or greater.
  • You must install SAS Scripting Wrapper for Analytics Transfer (SWAT) for Python. You can install the package from PyPI by using the command pip install swat.
  • You must have access to a SAS Viya 4.0 environment that has Machine Learning licensed.
  • To use time series APIs, you must have access to either SAS Econometrics or SAS Visual Forecasting.
  • You must have a user login to your SAS Viya back-end. See your system administrator for details if you do not have a SAS Viya account.
  • It is recommended that you install the open source graph visualization software called Graphviz to enable graphic visualizations of the DLPy deep learning models.
  • Install DLPy using pip install sas-dlpy.

SAS Viya and DLPY Versions

DLPy versions are aligned with SAS Viya versions. Below is the versions matrix.

DLPy SAS Viya
1.3.x 4.0
1.2.x 3.5
1.1.x 3.4
1.0.x 3.4

The table above can be read as follows: DLPy versions between 1.0 (inclusive) to 1.1 (exclusive) are designed to work with the SAS Viya 3.4.

External Libraries

The following versions of external libraries are supported:

  • ONNX: versions >= 1.5.0
  • Keras: versions >= 2.1.3

Getting Started

To connect to a SAS Viya server, import SWAT and use the swat.CAS class to create a connection:

Note: The default CAS port is 5570.

>>> import swat
>>> sess = swat.CAS('mycloud.example.com', 5570)

Next, import the DLPy package, and then build a simple convolutional neural network (CNN) model.

Import DLPy model functions:

>>> from dlpy import Model, Sequential
>>> from dlpy.layers import *

Use DLPy to create a sequential model and name it Simple_CNN:

>>> model1 = Sequential(sess, model_table = 'Simple_CNN')

Define an input layer to add to model1:

# The input shape contains RGB images (3 channels)
# The model images are 224 px in height and 224 px in width

>>> model1.add(InputLayer(3,224,224))

NOTE: Input layer added.

Add a 2-D convolution layer and a pooling layer:

# Add 2-Dimensional Convolution Layer to model1
# that has 8 filters and a kernel size of 7. 

>>> model1.add(Conv2d(8,7))

NOTE: Convolutional layer added.

# Add Pooling Layer of size 2

>>> model1.add(Pooling(2))

NOTE: Pooling layer added.

Add an additional pair of 2-D convolution and pooling layers:

# Add another 2D convolution Layer that has 8 filters and a kernel size of 7 

>>> model1.add(Conv2d(8,7))

NOTE: Convolutional layer added.

# Add a pooling layer of size 2 to # complete the second pair of layers. 

>>> model1.add(Pooling(2))

NOTE: Pooling layer added.

Add a fully connected layer:

# Add Fully-Connected Layer with 16 units

>>> model1.add(Dense(16))

NOTE: Fully-connected layer added.

Finally, add the output layer:

# Add an output layer that has 2 nodes and uses
# the Softmax activation function 

>>> model1.add(OutputLayer(act='softmax',n=2))

NOTE: Output layer added.
NOTE: Model compiled successfully
