Intro

START-Summit-2017-Blockchain-Machine-Learning-Workshop

Presentation Material and Sample Code from the Blockchain and Machine Learning Workshop at START Summit 2017 in Switzerland

Intro

The purpose of this code is to demonstrate in a simple example, how to bring Blockchain technology, smart contracts and Machine Learning together. It implements a simple chat client that can transmit messages, images and tags to the Blockchain. Tags are automatically extracted via a simple Deep Neural Network using the Keras Python Package with Tensorflow backend. In addition to just sending messages, the client also supports listening for new messages on the Blockchain from other participants. For details, please view the workshop presentation.

Files

- runTestnet.sh: launches a local development Blockchain for easy testing
- contract.sol: contains the smart contract code in solidity language
- installContract.py: Python script for sending our contract to the Blockchain
- user.py: Python script that contains the actual chat client
- classify.py: Python script to classifiy an image file

Setup

I really recommend using Linux at this point. The installation guidelines will focus on Ubuntu Linux 16.04 LTS, but should be similar for other distributions.

We need to install Python 2.7, pip, curl and git first:

open a Linux Terminal and enter the following command:
sudo apt-get install python2.7 python-pip curl git build-essential libssl-dev

Install current nodejs version:

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_7.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

Install the blockchain test environment:

sudo npm install -g ethereumjs-testrpc solc

Install additional Python packages:

sudo pip install -U pip
sudo pip install -U numpy keras==2.0.0 tensorflow ethjsonrpc h5py Pillow scipy

Now let's clone the workshop code:

cd
git clone https://github.com/thoschm/START-Summit-2017-Blockchain-Machine-Learning-Workshop.git workshop_code

Last step of preparation - cloning a ready deep-learning model:

cd
git clone https://github.com/fchollet/deep-learning-models.git
cp deep-learning-models/resnet50.py workshop_code/code/
cp deep-learning-models/imagenet_utils.py workshop_code/code/

Simple Image Classification Example

cd
cd workshop_code/code
[get some image file in there]
python classify.py image.jpg

When you run it the first time, it will download pre-trained network weights from the internet. No need to train on your own. Output:

Using TensorFlow backend.

Listening on localhost:8545

We have now created a local testnet that will look and feel the same way as a'normal' node (RPC communication is the same). The addresses under 'Available Accounts' are the IDs that will identify our network users - like nicknames on a chat platform. Normally they would be sitting on difference computers distributed over the internet and the good news is, the workshop code will work in a 'real' Blockchain network without any modification.

Installing the smart contract on the chain

Now open a new terminal and let the testnet run, we need it. In the new console, enter:

cd
cd workshop_code/code
python installContract.py

This will compile the smart contract from the file 'contract.sol' into byte-code and print it to the console. Also the code is sent to the Blockchain via transaction. To access it there, we need to remember the contract-address that is output as well.

Launching the chat client:

Please open now two new terminal (and leave the testnet running, we still need it, since our smart contract in now inside the Blockchain). Also please have an arbitrary image ready (I like using images of frogs or beer, but that's just my preference). In the first one, enter:

cd
cd workshop_code/code
python user.py 0x86817fbb2715c45d70163ba9de0b7af9c90f6282 0x0d56bafa9c8181199e99956a3f67eb937a47ce80

Remember that we need to provide the address of our contract inside the chain and the address of our user account (let's take the first one in the list). Therefore:

  1. copy the contract address from the terminal where the contract was installed in the chain
  2. copy the 1st account address from the testnet terminal under 'Available Accounts'
  3. both will be given as arguments to the user.py program Output:

Now let's do the same in our second empty terminal, but with account address 2 as argument (the contract address remains the same):

Testing the decentralized message Blockchain

Take one of the two chat windows and let it listen for a certain tag. (I'll take tree_frog, since I know that my image will be classified as tree_frog, however, in normal use people will only be notified if a messages arrive that match their topic filter).

With the 'listen' command I have set the chat client into listening mode to receive messages (this could run in parallel in the background but it's just a demo).

Now, finally, take the other chat window, compose a new message and give it the image you have downloaded:

Now the magic happens inside the other chat window. Please note that the complete communication has taken place over the Blockchain, no other channels were used. Window 1 sends the message, image and tags to our smart contract inside the chain and window 2 listens for events and tags on the blockchain. If a new message with certain tags (which were automatically extracted from the image via machine learning) arrives, it will materialize message, image and tags from the chain:

Result

That's it. An decentralized chat demo application using Blockchain and Machine Learning technology in a few lines of Python code and some cool properties:

  • users are anonymous (nickname is a hash)

  • as long as people support the network, it cannot be taken down or modified

  • it supports easy search for topics and messages (use the 'search' command within the chat console)
