How to "translate" array to label?

Question

After predicting a certain image I got the following classes:

np.argmax(classes, axis=2)
array([[ 1, 10, 27,  8,  2,  6,  6]])

I now want to translate the classes to the corresponding letters numbers. To onehot encode my classes before I used this code (in order to see which class stands for which letter/number:

def my_onehot_encoded(label):
    # define universe of possible input values
    characters = '0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNPQRSTUVWXYZ'
    # define a mapping of chars to integers
    char_to_int = dict((c, i) for i, c in enumerate(characters))
    int_to_char = dict((i, c) for i, c in enumerate(characters))
    # integer encode input data
    integer_encoded = [char_to_int[char] for char in label]
    # one hot encode
    onehot_encoded = list()
    for value in integer_encoded:
        character = [0 for _ in range(len(characters))]
        character[value] = 1
        onehot_encoded.append(character)

    return onehot_encoded

That means: class 1 is equal to number 1, class 10 to A and so on. How can I invert this and get the array to a new label?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Answer 1

Not sure I understand the problem, but this might work?

import numpy as np
a = np.array([[ 1, 10, 27,  8,  2,  6,  6]])
characters = '0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNPQRSTUVWXYZ'
np.array(list(characters))[a]

output:

array([['1', 'A', 'S', '8', '2', '6', '6']], dtype='<U1')

If you want it as a string:

"".join(np.array(list(characters))[a].flat)

output:

'1AS8266'
