AIMET Keras Quant Analyzer API

AIMET Keras Quant Analyzer analyzes the Keras model and points out sensitive layers to quantization in the model. It checks model sensitivity to weight and activation quantization, performs per layer sensitivity and MSE analysis. It also exports per layer encodings min and max ranges and statistics histogram for every layer.

Top-level API

class aimet_tensorflow.keras.quant_analyzer.QuantAnalyzer(model, forward_pass_callback, eval_callback)[source]

QuantAnalyzer tool provides

  1. model sensitivity to weight and activation quantization

  2. per layer sensitivity analysis

  3. per layer encoding (min - max range)

  4. per PDF analysis and

  5. per layer MSE analysis

Parameters

  • model (Model) – FP32 model to analyze for quantization.

  • forward_pass_callback (CallbackFunc) – A callback function for model calibration that simply runs forward passes on the model to compute encoding (delta/offset). This callback function should use representative data and should be subset of entire train/validation dataset (~1000 images/samples).

  • eval_callback (CallbackFunc) – A callback function for model evaluation that determines model performance. This callback function is expected to return scalar value representing the model performance evaluated against entire test/evaluation dataset.

analyze(quant_scheme=<QuantScheme.post_training_tf_enhanced: 2>, rounding_mode='nearest', default_param_bw=8, default_output_bw=8, config_file=None, results_dir='./tmp/')[source]
Analyze model for quantization and point out sensitive parts/hotspots of the model by performing

  1. model sensitivity to quantization,

  2. perform per layer sensitivity analysis by enabling and disabling quant wrappers,

  3. export per layer encodings min - max ranges,

  4. export per layer statistics histogram (PDF) when quant scheme is TF-Enhanced,

  5. per layer MSE analysis

Parameters

  • quant_scheme (QuantScheme) – Quantization scheme. Supported values are QuantScheme.post_training_tf or QuantScheme.post_training_tf_enhanced.

  • rounding_mode (str) – The round scheme to used. One of: ‘nearest’ or ‘stochastic’, defaults to ‘nearest’

  • default_param_bw (int) – Default bitwidth (4-31) to use for quantizing layer parameters.

  • default_output_bw (int) – Default bitwidth (4-31) to use for quantizing layer inputs and outputs.

  • config_file (Optional[str]) – Path to configuration file for model quantizers.

  • results_dir (str) – Directory to save the results.
