XOR Implementation in Tensorflow

12 Jul, 2021
In this article, we’ll learn how to implement an XOR gate in Tensorflow. Before we move onto Tensorflow implementation we’ll have a look at how the XOR Gate Truth Table to get a deep understanding about XOR.
X
Y
X (XOR) Y
0
0
0
0
1
1
1
0
1

1
0
From the above truth table, we come to know that the output of the gate is 1 only when one of the inputs is 1. If both the inputs are identical then the output is 0. Now that we know how an XOR gate works let us start with the implementation of XOR using Tensorflow.
We’ll start with the implementation of XOR using tensorflow.
Step 1: Importing all the required libraries. Here we are using tensorflow and numpy. 
import tensorflow.compat.v1 as tf
tf.disable_v2_behaviour()
import numpy as np
Step 2: Create placeholders for input and output. The input will be of the shape (4 X 2) and output will be of the shape (4 × 1).
X = tf.placeholder(dtype=tf.float32, shape=(4,2))
Y = tf.placeholder(dtype=tf.float32, shape=(4,1))
Step 3: Create training input and output. 
INPUT_XOR = [[0,0],[0,1],[1,0],[1,1]]
OUTPUT_XOR = [[0],[1],[1],[0]]
Step 4: Give a standard learning rate and the number of epochs that the model should train for.
learning_rate = 0.01
epochs = 10000
Step 5: Create a hidden layer for the model. The hidden layers have weights and biases. The operation of the hidden layer is to multiply the input provided with the weights and then add biases to the product. This answer is then given to a Relu activation function to give the output to the next layer.
with tf.variable_scope(‘hidden’):
    h_w = tf.Variable(tf.truncated_normal([2, 2]), name=’weights’)
    h_b = tf.Variable(tf.truncated_normal([4, 2]), name=’biases’)
    h = tf.nn.relu(tf.matmul(X, h_w) + h_b)
Step 6: Create an Output Layer for the model. The output layer similar to the hidden layers has weights and biases and does the same functionalities but instead of a Relu Activation, we use the Sigmoid Activation function to get outputs between 0 and 1.
 with tf.variable_scope(‘output’):
    o_w = tf.Variable(tf.truncated_normal([2, 1]), name=’weights’)
    o_b = tf.Variable(tf.truncated_normal([4, 1]), name=’biases’)
    Y_estimation = tf.nn.sigmoid(tf.matmul(h, o_w) + o_b)
Step 7: Create a loss/cost function. This calculates the cost for the model to train on the given data. Here we do RMSE of the predicted output value and the actual output value. RMSE — Root Mean Square Error.
with tf.variable_scope('cost'):
    cost = tf.reduce_mean(tf.squared_difference(Y_estimation, Y))
Step 8: Create a training variable to train the model with the given cost/loss function with an ADAM Optimizer with the given learning rate in order to minimize the loss.
with tf.variable_scope('train'):
    train = tf.train.AdamOptimizer(learning_rate).minimize(cost)
Step 9: Now that all the required things are initialized we’ll start a Tensorflow Session and start Training by initializing all the variables declared above.
with tf.Session() as session:
    session.run(tf.global_variables_initializer())
    print("Training Started")
Step 10: Train the model and give out predictions. Here we run the training on input and output since we are doing supervised learning. Then we calculate cost for every 1000 epochs and in the end predict the output and test it against the actual output.
log_count_frac = epochs/10
    for epoch in range(epochs):
    
        # Training the base network
        session.run(train, feed_dict={X: INPUT_XOR, Y:OUTPUT_XOR})

        # log training parameters
        # Print cost for every 1000 epochs
        if epoch % log_count_frac == 0:
            cost_results = session.run(cost, feed_dict={X: INPUT_XOR, Y:OUTPUT_XOR})
            print("Cost of Training at epoch {0} is {1}".format(epoch, cost_results))

    print("Training Completed !")
    Y_test = session.run(Y_estimation, feed_dict={X:INPUT_XOR})
    print(np.round(Y_test, decimals=1))
Below is the complete implementation.
