Failed to convert Neural Compressor quantized INT8 TF model to onnx

Anand_Viswanath — Thu, 17 Feb 2022 07:00:10 GMT

Hi,

I have quantized a frozen FP32 model to INT8 model using Neural compressor. I am trying to convert these models to onnx. I am able to convert FP32 model to onnx using tf2onnx.convert , but the conversion fails for quantized INT8 model. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Hi,

Thank you for posting in Intel Communities.

TF2ONNX was built to translate TensorFlow models to ONNX. To convert a TensorFlow model (frozen graph *.pb, SavedModel or whatever) to ONNX you can try tf2onnx.
TF2ONNX does have a limitation such as no support for quantization, which is mentioned in the below github link.
https://github.com/onnx/tensorflow-onnx/issues/686
You can convert your TensorFlow model to ONNX and then try to convert it to int8.
Or else you have another option like TFLite2ONNX. It is created to convert TFLite models to ONNX. As of v0.3, TFLite2ONNX is compatible with TensorFlow 2.0 and quantization conversion.

To install via pip: pip install tflite2onnx.

Hope our response would clarify your doubts!

Thanks

Hi,

Thank you for your response. I was able to convert TF FP32 model to ONNX using tf2onnx and then quantize the model using onnx quantization and Intel neural compressor.

Regards,

Anand
