Model Zoo for AI Model Efficiency Toolkit

We provide a collection of popular neural network models and compare their floating point and quantized performance. Results demonstrate that quantized models can provide good accuracy, comparable to floating point models. Together with results, we also provide scripts and artifacts for users to quantize floating-point models using the AI Model Efficiency ToolKit (AIMET).

Introduction

Quantized inference is significantly faster than floating-point inference, and enables models to run in a power-efficient manner on mobile and edge devices. We use AIMET, a library that includes state-of-the-art techniques for quantization, to quantize various models available in PyTorch and TensorFlow frameworks.

An original FP32 source model is quantized either using post-training quantization (PTQ) or Quantization-Aware-Training (QAT) technique available in AIMET. Example scripts for evaluation are provided for each model. When PTQ is needed, the evaluation script performs PTQ before evaluation. Wherever QAT is used, the fine-tuned model checkpoint is also provided.

Installation and Usage

Install AIMET

Before you can run the evaluation script for a specific model, you need to install the AI Model Efficiency ToolKit (AIMET) software. Please see this Getting Started page for an overview. Then install AIMET and its dependencies using these Installation instructions.

Install AIMET model zoo

Follow the instructions on this page to install the AIMET model zoo python package(s).

Run model evaluation

The evaluation scripts run floating-point and quantized evaluations that demonstrate improved quantized model performance through the use of AIMET techniques. They generate and display the final accuracy results (as documented in the table above). To access the documentation and procedures for a specific model, refer to the relevant .md within the subfolder in TensorFlow or PyTorch folders.
