附录:批量训练

超大型数据集可能不适合分配给进程的内存。在前面的步骤中,我们设置了一个流水线,用于将整个数据集引入内存、准备数据,并将工作集传递给训练函数。而是会提供一个替代训练函数 (fit_generator),用于批量拉取数据。这样,我们就可以仅对数据中的一小部分(batch_size 的倍数)应用数据流水线中的转换。在实验期间,我们针对 DBPediaAmazon 评价Ag NewsYelp 评价等数据集使用了批处理(GitHub 中的代码)。

以下代码说明了如何生成数据批次并将其提供给 fit_generator

def _data_generator(x, y, num_features, batch_size):
    """Generates batches of vectorized texts for training/validation.

    # Arguments

    num_batches = num_samples // batch_size
    if num_samples % batch_size:
