How do I find more info on how the ssd_mobilenet_v1 tflite model on TFHub was trained?
Was it trained in such a way that made it easy to convert it to tflite by avoiding certain ops not supported by tflite? Or was it trained normally, and then converted using the tflite converter with TF Select and the tips on this github issue?
Also, does anyone know if there's an equivalent mobilenet tflite model trained on OpenImagesV6? If not, what's the best starting point for training one?
I am not sure about about the exact origin of the model, but looks like it does have TFLite-compatible ops. From my experience, the best place to start for TFLite-compatible SSD models is with the TF2 Detection Zoo. You can convert any of the SSD models using these instructions.
To train your own model, you can follow these instructions that leverage Google Cloud.

I train a model by tensorflow 2 to detecting vehicles, but I want to Convert tensorflow saved_model to frozen inference graph.
Can any one help?
It is not the recommended way to save your model and i would suggest you use saved model.
People around here can help if you explain why you want to use frozen graph specifically and saved model won't help.
If you still want to try freezing you can use this internal method to do so.
I have trained an image classification model using pytorch.
Now, I want to move it from research to production pipeline.
I am thinking of using TensorFlow extended. I have a very noob doubt that will I'll be able to use my PyTorch trained model in the TensorFlow extended pipeline(I can convert the trained model to ONNX and then to Tensorflow compatible format).
I don't want to rewrite and retrain the training part to TensorFlow as it'll be a great overhead.
Is it possible or Is there any better way to productionize the PyTorch trained models?
You should be able to convert your PyTorch image classification model to Tensorflow format using ONNX, as long as you are using standard layers. I would recommend doing the conversion and then look at both model summaries to make sure they are relatively similar. Also, do some tests to make sure your converted model handles any particular edge cases you have. Once you have confirmed that the converted model works, save your model as a TF SavedModel format and then you should be able to use it in Tensorflow Extended (TFX).
For more info on the conversion process, see this tutorial: https://learnopencv.com/pytorch-to-tensorflow-model-conversion/
You could considering using the torchX library. I haven't use it yet, but it seems to make it easier to deploy models by creating and running model pipelines. I don't think it has the same data validation functionality that Tensorflow Extended has, but maybe that will be added in the future.
I converted a pretrained model to TF-lite and would like to deploy to the edge device.
If we got new training data and would like to improve the pretrained model, is it possible to do on the edge device?
Ex. Is there any method to train the model and save to TF-lite(FlatBuffer) again on edge device?
Thanks for any inputs!
On-device training is not fully supported yet on TF Lite but you can refer to this blog post to see how it can be done.
https://blog.tensorflow.org/2019/12/example-on-device-model-personalization.html
The basic idea is:
Split your model to a base subgraph (e.g. feature extractor in an image classification model) and a trainable head.
Convert the base subgraph to TF Lite as normal. Convert the trainable head to TF Lite using the experimental tflite-transfer-convert tool.
Retrain the trainable head on-device as you wish.
I have searched this for a while, but it seems Keras only has quantization feature after the model is trained. I wish to add Tensorflow fake quantization to my Keras sequential model. According to Tensorflow's doc, I need these two functions to do fake quantization: tf.contrib.quantize.create_training_graph() and tf.contrib.quantize.create_eval_graph().
My question is has anyone managed to add these two functions in a Keras model? If yes, where should these two function be added? For example, before model.compile or after model.fit or somewhere else? Thanks in advance.
I worked around by post-training quantization. Since my final goal is to train a mdoel for mobile device, instead of fake quantization during training, I exported keras .h5 file and converted to Tenforflow lite .tflite file directly (with post_training_quantize flag set to true). I tested this on a simple cifar-10 model. The original keras model and the quantized tflite model have very close accuracy (the quantized one a bit lower).
Post-training quantization: https://www.tensorflow.org/performance/post_training_quantization
Convert Keras model to tensorflow lite: https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/master/tensorflow/contrib/lite/toco/g3doc/python_api.md
Used the tf-nightly tensorflow here: https://pypi.org/project/tf-nightly/
If you still want to do fake quantization (because for some model, post-training quantization may give poor accuracy according to Google), the original webpage is down last week. But you can find it from github: https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/tree/master/tensorflow/contrib/quantize
Update: Turns out post-quantization does not really quantize the model. During inference, it still uses float32 kernels to do calculations. Thus, I've switched to quantization-aware training. The accuracy is pretty good for my cifar10 model.
Basically I am trying to use google's pre trained Speaker-id model for speaker detection. But this being a TensorFlow Lite model, I can't use it on my Linux pc. For that, I am trying to find a converter back to its frozen graph model.
Any help on this converter or any direct way to use tensorflow Lite pretrained models on desktop itself, will be appreciated.
You can use the converter which generates tflite models to convert it back to a .pb file if that is what you're searching for.
