Q: Preprocess huge data with a custom data generator function for keras Actually I'm building a keras model and I have a dataset in the msg format with over 10 million instances with 40 features which are all categorical. For the moment i'm using just a sample of it since reading all the dataset and encoding it is impossbile to fit into the memory. Here a part of the code i'm using:
import pandas as pd
from category_encoders import BinaryEncoder as be
from sklearn.preprocessing import StandardScaler

def model():
   model = Sequential()
   model.add(Dense(120, input_dim=233, kernel_initializer='uniform', activation='selu'))
   model.add(Dense(12, kernel_initializer='uniform', activation='sigmoid'))
   model.compile(SGD(lr=0.008),loss='mean_squared_error', metrics=['accuracy'])
   return model

def addrDataLoading():

   data=pd.read_msgpack('datum.msg')
   data=data.dropna(subset=['s_address','d_address'])
   data=data.sample(300000) # taking a sample of all the dataset to make the    encoding possible
   y=data[['s_address','d_address']]
   x=data.drop(['s_address','d_address'],1)

   encX = be().fit(x, y)
   numeric_X= encX.transform(x)
   encY=be().fit(y,y)
   numeric_Y=encY.transform(y)
   scaler=StandardScaler()
   X_all=scaler.fit_transform(numeric_X)
   x_train=X_all[0:250000,:]
   y_train=numeric_Y.iloc[0:250000,:]
   x_val=X_all[250000:,:]
   y_val=numeric_Y.iloc[250000:,:]

   return x_train,y_train,x_val,y_val

x_train,y_train,x_val,y_val=addrDataLoading()

model.fit(x_train, y_train,validation_data=(x_val,y_val),nb_epoch=20, batch_size=200)

So my question is how to use a custom data generator function to read and process all the data I have and not just a sample, and then use fit_generator() function to train my model?
EDIT
This is a sample of the data:
netData
I think that taking different samples from the data results in different encoding dimensions.
For this sample there's 16 different categories: 4 addresses (3 bit), 4 hostnames (3 bit ), 1 subnetmask (1 bit), 5 infrastructures (3 bit ), 1 accesszone(1 bit ), so the binary encoding will give us 11 bit and the new dimension of the data is 11 previously 5. So let's say for another sample in the address column we have 8 different categories this will give 4 bit in binary and we let the same number of categories in the other columns so the overall encoding will result in 12 dimensions. I believe that what's  causing the problem.

A:
Slightly slow solution (repeating the same actions)
Edit - fit BinatyEncoder before create generators
Drop NA first and work with clean data further to avoid reassignments of data frame.
data = pd.read_msgpack('datum.msg')
data.dropna(subset=['s_address','d_address']).to_msgpack('datum_clean.msg')

In this solution data_generator can process same data multiple times. If it's not critical, you can use this solution.
Define function which reads the data snd splits index to train and test. It won't consume a lot of memory.
import pandas as pd
from category_encoders import BinaryEncoder as be
from sklearn.preprocessing import StandardScaler
from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
import numpy as np

def model():
   #some code defining the model

def train_test_index_split():
    # if there's enough memory to add one more column
    data = pd.read_msgpack('datum_cleaned.msg')
    train_idx, test_idx = train_test_split(data.index)
    return data, train_idx, test_idx

data, train_idx, test_idx = train_test_index_split()

Define and initialize data generator, both for train and validation
def data_generator(data, encX, encY,  bathc_size, n_steps, index):
    # EDIT: As the data was cleaned, you don't need dropna
    # data = data.dropna(subset=['s_address','d_address'])
    for i in range(n_steps):
        batch_idx = np.random.choice(index, batch_size)
        sample = data.loc[batch_idx]
        y = sample[['s_address', 'd_address']]
        x = sample.drop(['s_address', 'd_address'], 1)
        numeric_X = encX.transform(x)
        numeric_Y = encY.transform(y)
        scaler = StandardScaler()
        X_all = scaler.fit_transform(numeric_X)
        yield X_all, numeric_Y

Edited part now train binary encoders. You should sub-sample your data to create representative training set for encoders. I guess error with the shape of the data was caused by incorrecly trained BinaryEncoder (Error when checking input: expected dense_9_input to have shape (233,) but got array with shape (234,)):
def get_minimal_unique_frame(df):
    return (pd.Series([df[column].unique() for column in df], index=df.columns)
           .apply(pd.Series)  # tranform list on unique values to pd.Series
           .T  # transope frame: columns is columns again
           .fillna(method='ffill'))  # fill NaNs with last value

x = get_minimal_unique_frame(data.drop(['s_address', 'd_address'], 1))
y = get_minimal_unique_frame(data[['s_address', 'd_address']])

NB: I never used category_encoders and have incompatible system configuration, so can't install and check it. So, former code can evoke problems. In that case, I guess, you should compare length of x and y data frames and make it the same, and probaly change an index of data frames.
encX = be().fit(x, y)
encY = be().fit(y, y)
batch_size = 200
train_steps = 100000
val_steps = 5000

train_gen = data_generator(data, encX, encY, batch_size, train_steps, train_idx)
test_gen = data_generator(data, encX, encY, batch_size, test_steps, test_idx)

Edit Please provide an exapmple of x_sample, run train_gen and save output, and post x_samples, y_smaples:
x_samples = []
y_samples = []
for i in range(10):
    x_sample, y_sample = next(train_gen)
    x_samples.append(x_sample)
    y_samples.append(y_sample)

Note: data generator won't stop itself. But itt will be stopped after train_steps by fit_generator method.
Fit model with generators:
model.fit_generator(generator=train_gen, steps_per_epoch=train_steps, epochs=1,
                    validation_data=test_gen, validation_steps=val_steps)

As far as I know, python does not copy pandas dataframes if you won't do it explicitply with copy() or so. Because of it, both generators use the same object. But if you use Jupyter Notebook, data leaks/uncollected carbage may occur, and a memory troubles comes with them.
More efficient solution - scketch
Clean your data
data = pd.read_msgpack('datum.msg')
data.dropna(subset=['s_address','d_address']).to_msgpack('datum_clean.msg')

Create train/test split, preprocess it and store as numpy array, if you have enough disk space.
data, train_idx, test_idx = train_test_index_split()

def data_preprocessor(data, path, index):
    # data = data.dropna(subset=['s_address','d_address'])
    sample = data.loc[batch_idx]
    y = sample[['s_address', 'd_address']]
    x = sample.drop(['s_address', 'd_address'], 1)
    encX = be().fit(x, y)
    numeric_X = encX.transform(x)
    encY = be().fit(y, y)
    numeric_Y = encY.transform(y)
    scaler = StandardScaler()
    X_all = scaler.fit_transform(numeric_X)
    np.save(path + '_X', X_all)
    np.save(path + '_y', numeric_Y)

data_preprocessor(data, 'train', train_idx)
data_preprocessor(data, 'test', test_idx)

Delete unnecessary data:
del data

Load your files and use following generator:
train_X = np.load('train_X.npy')
train_y = np.load('train_y.npy')

test_X = np.load('test_X.npy')
test_y = np.load('test_y.npy')

def data_generator(X, y, batch_size, n_steps):
    idxs = np.arange(len(X))
    np.random.shuffle(idxs)
    ptr = 0

    for _ in range(n_steps):
        batch_idx = idxs[ptr:ptr+batch_size]
        x_sample = X[batch_idx]
        y_sample = y[batch_idx]
        ptr += batch_size
        if ptr > len(X):
            ptr = 0
        yield x_sapmple, y_sample

Prepare generators:
train_gen = data_generator(train_X, train_y, batch_size, train_steps)
test_gen = data_generator(test_X, test_y, batch_size, test_steps)

And fit the model finaly. Hope one of this solutions will help. At least if python does pass arrays and data frames buy reference, not by value. Stackoverflow answer about it.

Highest-grade New Zealand colostrum with ALPHA LIPID.
91mg immunoglobulinsWhat's the ALPHA LIPID difference?
ALPHA LIPID colostrum is the best colostrum available on the market today. It contains only the highest-grade New Zealand cow's colostrum, processed to ensure maximum bioavailability, plus added ALPHA LIPID.
ALPHA LIPID is an exclusive formula developed by research scientists to make the colostrum more powerful than ever. It enhances solubility (and therefore absorbability) by up to 100%.
ALPHA LIPID also helps improve brain and liver function, and helps prevent memory loss.
ALPHA LIPID colostrum is literally nature's 'first food'. The pre-milk liquid provided for all newborn mammals, it is produced before normal milk. It contains literally hundreds of elements and compounds that are vital for health.
Cow's colostrum is perfectly suited for human consumption – in fact, it contains up to 20 times more immune factors than human colostrum.
Dosage: For all-round wellness and vitality, healthy adults and kids can take 2 capsules or chewable tablets first thing in the morning on an empty stomach, with water. People with health challenges should simply increase the dosage until an improvement is felt. There are no negative side-effects associated with taking colostrum, as it is perfectly suited to the mammalian body – and you can take as much as you like! Also pet owners find it excellent to promote good health and athleticism. For working dogs break open 1 or two capsules and sprinkle on their food. Remember some of the worlds best athletes take colostrum so what about racing dogs / Greyhounds? Some trainers choose to use the Lifeline product but freight is an consideration. many horse trainers also use it. For cats break open a capsule and sprinkle on their food to promote shiny fur and a healthy look.
Alpha Lipid Capsules can also be taken in conjunction with cellworx for increased immunity especially if want to increase Adult Stem Cell Production.

Kira Upin's Colorful Mustache and Matching Makeup Rule TikTok
December 9, 2020 290 views0
In questioning this feminine standard of beauty through colored facial hair, Upin has embraced her own insecurities. In middle school, the TIkTok creator was self-conscious of her mustache and was bullied by her classmates for the "unfeminine" and "undesirable" look. (A reminder: Body hair, including facial hair, is completely natural for people of all genders to have.) Until junior year of high school, Upin has waxed, bleached, and even Nair'd her upper lip to fit in with her classmates.
Now a student at Duke University, Upin has taken to TikTok to empower other people to embrace their mustaches. And it seems to have resonated with viewers as Upin has amassed over 28,000 followers since May 2020 and over a million likes across her mustache-dying videos. (She only has 36 videos on her TikTok page as of early November.)
While Upin says many people have been receptive to her mustache-dyeing (her parents' only request is that she keeps the dye from staining the bathroom tile), others have criticized her or were quick to offer methods of removal for her colorful 'staches. But, Upin is dedicated to normalizing facial and body hair on people of all genders and deconstructing the notion that women with this type of hair is "unhygienic" and "disgusting."
"It's not that women don't grow mustaches. It's that most women get busy removing or concealing them. So, the expectation is that they don't exist unless you have a hormonal imbalance," Upin explains. "I'm breaking the stigma that women don't grow mustaches by posting videos and dyeing mine different colors. Facial hair is natural, with or without a hormone imbalance. Regardless of whether or not women decide to remove their facial or body hair, the choice should be made on an individual level, not a societal one."
And while Upin leads the charge of body hair acceptance on TikTok, she's not the only one pushing for a greater acceptance of this completely natural phenomenon. Celebrities like Emily Ratajowski, Yara Shahidi, and Cardi B (to name just a few) have all taken a stand against shaming someone's body hair — and aren't afraid to show off their own.
"Gender expression is a spectrum and nobody needs to conform to notions of masculinity or femininity regardless of their identity," Upin said. "Do what makes you comfortable and confident, and don't feel a need to conform to any opinions that aren't your own."

When most people think about brown in the context of interior design, their mind automatically jumps to wood. But really, it's so much more than that. These days, we have so many amazing textures and materials that have redefined the generic color palette. So today, we'll be taking a look at how you can emulate several shades of brown in a single home interior!
This interior design features quite a unique blend of browns in a single space. All of the shades retain their own identity, yet add a new flavor to the ambiance. The design of the shelf is cabinet is done in an earthy brown of wood, while the tawny shade of the couch add a nice contrast to it. The dash of ginger hue on the right side add a bright pop to the entire ambiance.
For those of you who cannot afford to have an authentic ashlar stone wall in their home interiors, this idea is a good alternative. The use of stone themed earthy brown wallpaper looks gorgeous against the oak hued table top and the walnut hued in-built shelves in the background. The overall effect is quite charming and unique.
Caramel and beige may be on the lighter end of the whole brown spectrum, but they do tend to merge nicely with the brown theme. They look great when incorporated in the floor and plain feature walls. The beautiful floors and media wall in the living room in this image are a great example of how you can highlight these understated shades of brown in a personality filled home interior.
Sometimes, you don't even need any extra shades to make the most of your brown palette. Usually, good lighting can create an amazing aura by reflecting off the materials and creating an inherent rainbow of shades in a simple surface. The pendent lights and recessed strip lights featured in this image are an excellent example of how you can articulate this technique.
If you feel like using only a single shade of brown in your home interiors, then you can bring out a little diversity in the design by opting for pattern breaks. The slatted furniture in this image is an excellent way to emulate simple yet impactful patterns to complement your brown palette.

We offer a wide selection of kichen waste bins / kitchen pull out bins and recycling kitchen bins that are designed to work inside kitchen carcases. We have numerous kitchen bins available that cater for all requirements and budgets.
These kitchen waste bins are of the highest quality.


If "eyebrows on fleek" is a foreign concept to you, you may want to consult this list.
You don't have to be good at makeup to get your makeup to look good!
Fix eyeliner and mascara smudges easily with a makeup remover pen that won't dry out your skin. This one is infused with vitamin E, cucumber and chamomile, and even works on waterproof makeup.
Shadow shields gently adhere to your under-eye area to protect from eyeshadow dust that falls below the lashes. They can also be placed at the corner of the eye to help you create a perfect cut-crease or shadow edge, or to act as a template for your cat-eye.
If you aren't confident in your ability to create a perfect brow, just stick to Benefit's grow gel instead. It's a super easy way to build your brow without needing to have any sort of shading or brush skills. You just brush it upwards on your brows and the tiny fibers will adhere to your brows, giving them a fuller look and shape.
If you want to go with a more sculpted brow, a stencil kit is a great way to go. You can experiment with the shapes that work for you, and use them to guide the filling process.
Looking to try false lashes but afraid you'll poke your eye out? Use an extension applicator that properly grips the lashes and presses them against your lash line. If you're not great at makeup or you're generally just clumsy, PLEASE for the love of all that is holy, do not put sharp tweezers near your eyeballs to apply false lashes!
If you're a fan of nail designs but can't seem to get them right, these tip guides could be your new best friend. They'll give you perfectly straight lines for a manicure that looks professionally done. These packs include French tip-, chevron-, and teardrop-shaped stickers.
If you made a biiiiig mistake picking out your foundation color but you already opened it, don't fret! You can use these lightening or darkening drops to adjust the shade so it matches your skin tone. It's also a great trick for when the seasons start changing and you get a little extra color (or get paler, depending).
Painting your own nails can get messy AF. If you tend to ~color outside the lines~ when trying to give yourself a manicure, don't stress! You're not actually doomed. Just use this peel-off latex tape, which you can paint onto your cuticles and the skin around your nail to protect it from polish mishaps.
If you're too intimidated to go through all the steps it takes to get that glowing dewy look (like applying gold serum, highlighter, shimmer sticks, etc.), just add a few drops of this to your tinted moisturizer or foundation for a simple approach. It's expensive, yes, but it takes the place of quite a few products and will make it look like you really know what you're doing!
The YouCamp Makeup App allows you to try on makeup from a huge selection of brands including YSL Beauty, Elizabeth Arden, Estée Lauder, Laura Geller, and more. So if you're hesitant about certain lip colors, eye shadows, etc., you can try them all on via the app before testing them out IRL.

Everyone has dreams. Whether or not they ever share them is irrelevant. Deep down we all have something we would like to achieve. We all like the idea of making an impact or leaving our mark on the world. Just try having a conversation with a stranger or even a loved one and ask them the question 'what would you do if money wasn't an issue?'. It is then they will start to reveal their true passions. They'll begin to think of their deepest desires and explore the details that come with it. It's amazing what people will share with you if you ask.
I had an eye test the other week and during my appointment my optician and I got talking. While she was carrying out the test she asked me what my plans were for the rest of the day. I told her I was on my way to a business meeting. She then began to ask me about it. She seemed interested so I didn't mind sharing. I began to tell her that I had started a new venture just before Christmas and today I was meeting a potential supplier. I showed her pictures of my products and she seemed very impressed and encouraged me to keep on going.
The test was almost over and while she was typing up her notes I asked if she did anything outside of work too. I'm always intrigued by people's lives and I genuinely wanted to know more about her. She immediately stopped typing turned round to face me, paused and then smiled. She said yes, I sell bags. She then began to go into detail about the bags and showed me pictures. She then continued to tell me about the types of people that would purchase one of the bags and how much they would spend each time. She spoke with such enthusiasm and passion, it was lovely to see.
"But" she said. "I work here from 8am-8pm, my days are busy I just don't have the time to focus on my business". So I said to her "if you really enjoy this hobby then you should make time for it". She agreed but still couldn't see how she could transition from employment into business.
This lady not only had a lovely product but also had customers. She knew her market, she had made the sales! However, she was still fearful of not having enough money and hence focused more on earning money rather than chasing her dreams. The Les Brown's quote at the beginning of this post is unfortunately so very true. Many people bottle up their dreams and ideas and carry it with them to their grave. This lady obviously had a passion for selling bags but her job was too demanding to give her the time to work on her business. Unfortunately, she now potentially becomes another valuable depositor to the graveyard.
For me, I think it's a shame. It's a real shame that many people adhere to society's unwritten rules that you need a job to give you income. Or the rule that job security is more important than freedom and happiness. Your job or anything for that matter should NEVER take away your happiness. Everyone deserves to be free and happy.
Now the sad thing is, this isn't an isolated example. This lady is not the first person I've spoken to that has had a dream but hasn't been able to put it into action. Fear and doubt constrain so many people. The thought of not having regular income paralyses a lot of us (let's not lie here). So we opt for the more comfortable option to avoid the uncertainty. But in doing so don't we sometimes lose sight of what's important in life? I strongly believe that you should never be afraid to live your dreams.
So let's not make the graveyards any richer. Let's not carry our dreams to the grave. But let's live them and in doing so we can inspire other people to live theirs.


A reside nt of Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh Anil Sahni is blind by birth. Two of his siblings, an elder sister and a younger brother are also visually impaired. He belongs to an economically weak family with his father as the sole bread earner. Anil's mother is uneducated herself but she has aspirations for all her four children. She dreams of seeing them grow up into well-educated and respectfully employed individuals.
Anil like all other children his age started his education in a regular school. And since no one in his family knew about special schools for the blind, Anil had to rely on his hearing for all that was being taught in the mainstream classroom. He was keen to learn but his learning was limited by his visual impairment. It was only when he turned 16 that Anil enrolled in a blind school for his Class 10.
When Anil's friends at his new school told him about Eyeway, he was curious to know more. He called our Helpdesk and inquired for his mobility and study needs. He also asked if there were any provisions made by the government for blind people like him. Eyeway counselor told Anil about assistive devices like Daisy player for reading and the smart cane for walking independently. The counselor also shared details about courses available at the National Institute for the Visually Handicapped (NIVH), Dehradun. Anil was encouraged to get in touch with NIVH so he could get proper computer training and any other vocational training which would open up job avenues for him once he completes his studies. We also helped him apply for a UDID card which would enable him to apply for various government provisions and concessions in the future.
Anil is in regular touch with Eyeway and he calls frequently whenever he hits a stumbling block. And not just Anil, his other two visually impaired siblings are also benefitting from the information shared by us.

Beyond the "mobile versus PC" dichotomy: Profiling online shoppers based on device usage"
Availability of a growing number of devices for information searching and purchasing online is affecting consumer habits and company strategies. This paper investigates device usage patterns in the online Deal of the Day (DoD) shopping process. The study employs a cluster analysis of respondents based on their device usage. Four clusters emerge and are profiled by means of a benefits and costs approach based on demographic and psychographic characteristics. Multi-device behaviours for information search and DoD purchasing and multi-device behaviours are found to be dominant. Smartphone exclusive users display higher purchase frequency than multi-device segments. Tablet and smartphone users are found to be Market Mavens. Several implications for marketers are discussed.

Apple is paying lots of licensing money to music labels ahead of unveiling its iCloud service at next week's WWDC, according to a new report.
Apple is reportedly paying big bucks for the privilege of having major music labels sign off on its upcoming iCloud service, according to new reports.
Three unnamed sources apparently told the New York Post that Apple had shelled out "between $100 million and $150 million" to license their music to the cloud-based service. CNET also reported June 2 that Universal Music Group had reached an agreement with Apple, making it the fourth and last major record company to do so. The Wall Street Journal previously suggested that Apple had signed licensing deals with EMI Group, Sony Music Entertainment and Warner Music Group.
Apple plans to unveil iCloud at its WWDC (Worldwide Developers Conference), which kicks off June 6 in San Francisco. In a May 31 press release posted on its corporate Website, Apple alluded to iCloud as an "upcoming cloud-services offering" but provided no further details. Current rumors suggest that iCloud will act as an online media locker, and perhaps offer some form of streaming content.
Apple faces substantial competition in the consumer-cloud arena from the likes of Amazon.com, which recently launched a cloud-based locker and player for music, and Google, whose own cloud-music offering recently launched in beta. Although Microsoft's current cloud efforts seem primarily focused on the business-software side of the equation, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer recently suggested that "every one of our products will be engineered to deliver the full benefits of the cloud."
Neither Google nor Amazon secured licensing agreements with the major music labels before launching their respective cloud services. For its part, Amazon has argued that its cloud service is nothing more than a storage unit and therefore not beholden to licensing.
A cloud service could potentially assist Apple in blocking those threats. Certainly, the company's massive data center in North Carolina could serve toward that end. The next version of its operating system, Mac OS X 10.7 "Lion," reportedly will also feature some cloud integration.
Blogs such as TechCrunch and Daring Fireball have spent the past few months insisting that Apple will debut no new hardware at WWDC, choosing instead to focus on previews of iCloud and the next versions of iOS and Mac OS. Apple's May 31 press release confirms that focus. Other blogs suggested that Apple would use the conference to debut the iPhone 5, in keeping with the company's usual habit of releasing the newest variant of its popular smartphone during the summer timeframe; if such a thing is still in the works, however, Apple is keeping an extraordinarily tight lock on it.

The CQC is now working closely with Lincolnshire County Council to explore alternative arrangements for the residents.
Carolyn Nice, assistant director of adult care at Lincolnshire County Council, said in a statement: "We have taken steps to ensure residents affected by the situation at St John's Nursing Home are receiving the right care and support.
"Concerns were raised through the monitoring of standards in the home and these were found to be inadequate. In direct response to this we have decided with health partners to explore alternative care settings for residents.
"We are working closely with the Care Quality Commission and local NHS colleagues, to ensure the safe transfer of residents to alternative placements.
"We want to reassure people that if standards of care are inadequate then we take action and ensure people are looked after safely."
Lincolnshire Live attempted to contact the owner of the care home, but were told that he was not in the country at the time of publication.
