Train, convert and predict with ONNX Runtime

This example demonstrates an end to end scenario starting with the training of a machine learned model to its use in its converted from.

Train a logistic regression

The first step consists in retrieving the iris datset.

from sklearn.datasets import load_iris

iris = load_iris()
X, y = iris.data, iris.target

from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split

X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(X, y)

Then we fit a model.

from sklearn.linear_model import LogisticRegression

clr = LogisticRegression()
clr.fit(X_train, y_train)
LogisticRegression()

We compute the prediction on the test set and we show the confusion matrix.

from sklearn.metrics import confusion_matrix

pred = clr.predict(X_test)
print(confusion_matrix(y_test, pred))
[[12  0  0]
 [ 0 12  1]
 [ 0  0 13]]

Conversion to ONNX format

We use module sklearn-onnx to convert the model into ONNX format.

from skl2onnx import convert_sklearn
from skl2onnx.common.data_types import FloatTensorType

initial_type = [("float_input", FloatTensorType([None, 4]))]
onx = convert_sklearn(clr, initial_types=initial_type)
with open("logreg_iris.onnx", "wb") as f:
    f.write(onx.SerializeToString())

We load the model with ONNX Runtime and look at its input and output.

import onnxruntime as rt

sess = rt.InferenceSession("logreg_iris.onnx", providers=rt.get_available_providers())

print("input name='{}' and shape={}".format(sess.get_inputs()[0].name, sess.get_inputs()[0].shape))
print("output name='{}' and shape={}".format(sess.get_outputs()[0].name, sess.get_outputs()[0].shape))
input name='float_input' and shape=[None, 4]
output name='output_label' and shape=[None]

We compute the predictions.

input_name = sess.get_inputs()[0].name
label_name = sess.get_outputs()[0].name

import numpy

pred_onx = sess.run([label_name], {input_name: X_test.astype(numpy.float32)})[0]
print(confusion_matrix(pred, pred_onx))
[[12  0  0]
 [ 0 12  0]
 [ 0  0 14]]

The prediction are perfectly identical.

Probabilities

Probabilities are needed to compute other relevant metrics such as the ROC Curve. Let’s see how to get them first with scikit-learn.

prob_sklearn = clr.predict_proba(X_test)
print(prob_sklearn[:3])
[[9.64397638e-01 3.56022281e-02 1.33661432e-07]
 [1.12861883e-02 7.36931324e-01 2.51782488e-01]
 [9.71882114e-01 2.81177168e-02 1.68768358e-07]]

And then with ONNX Runtime. The probabilies appear to be

prob_name = sess.get_outputs()[1].name
prob_rt = sess.run([prob_name], {input_name: X_test.astype(numpy.float32)})[0]

import pprint

pprint.pprint(prob_rt[0:3])
[{0: 0.964397668838501, 1: 0.03560224175453186, 2: 1.3366144457904738e-07},
 {0: 0.01128618698567152, 1: 0.7369312644004822, 2: 0.25178253650665283},
 {0: 0.9718821048736572, 1: 0.028117714449763298, 2: 1.6876846586910688e-07}]

Let’s benchmark.

from timeit import Timer


def speed(inst, number=10, repeat=20):
    timer = Timer(inst, globals=globals())
    raw = numpy.array(timer.repeat(repeat, number=number))
    ave = raw.sum() / len(raw) / number
    mi, ma = raw.min() / number, raw.max() / number
    print("Average %1.3g min=%1.3g max=%1.3g" % (ave, mi, ma))
    return ave


print("Execution time for clr.predict")
speed("clr.predict(X_test)")

print("Execution time for ONNX Runtime")
speed("sess.run([label_name], {input_name: X_test.astype(numpy.float32)})[0]")
Execution time for clr.predict
Average 4.45e-05 min=4.23e-05 max=5.86e-05
Execution time for ONNX Runtime
Average 2.2e-05 min=2.14e-05 max=2.68e-05

2.1959864999132605e-05

Let’s benchmark a scenario similar to what a webservice experiences: the model has to do one prediction at a time as opposed to a batch of prediction.

def loop(X_test, fct, n=None):
    nrow = X_test.shape[0]
    if n is None:
        n = nrow
    for i in range(0, n):
        im = i % nrow
        fct(X_test[im : im + 1])


print("Execution time for clr.predict")
speed("loop(X_test, clr.predict, 100)")


def sess_predict(x):
    return sess.run([label_name], {input_name: x.astype(numpy.float32)})[0]


print("Execution time for sess_predict")
speed("loop(X_test, sess_predict, 100)")
Execution time for clr.predict
Average 0.00412 min=0.00409 max=0.00419
Execution time for sess_predict
Average 0.00102 min=0.00101 max=0.00105

0.0010201415149995795

Let’s do the same for the probabilities.

print("Execution time for predict_proba")
speed("loop(X_test, clr.predict_proba, 100)")


def sess_predict_proba(x):
    return sess.run([prob_name], {input_name: x.astype(numpy.float32)})[0]


print("Execution time for sess_predict_proba")
speed("loop(X_test, sess_predict_proba, 100)")
Execution time for predict_proba
Average 0.0062 min=0.00618 max=0.00622
Execution time for sess_predict_proba
Average 0.00108 min=0.00107 max=0.0011

0.0010763829249992797

This second comparison is better as ONNX Runtime, in this experience, computes the label and the probabilities in every case.

Benchmark with RandomForest

We first train and save a model in ONNX format.

from sklearn.ensemble import RandomForestClassifier

rf = RandomForestClassifier()
rf.fit(X_train, y_train)

initial_type = [("float_input", FloatTensorType([1, 4]))]
onx = convert_sklearn(rf, initial_types=initial_type)
with open("rf_iris.onnx", "wb") as f:
    f.write(onx.SerializeToString())

We compare.

sess = rt.InferenceSession("rf_iris.onnx", providers=rt.get_available_providers())


def sess_predict_proba_rf(x):
    return sess.run([prob_name], {input_name: x.astype(numpy.float32)})[0]


print("Execution time for predict_proba")
speed("loop(X_test, rf.predict_proba, 100)")

print("Execution time for sess_predict_proba")
speed("loop(X_test, sess_predict_proba_rf, 100)")
Execution time for predict_proba
Average 0.676 min=0.675 max=0.678
Execution time for sess_predict_proba
Average 0.00136 min=0.00132 max=0.00164

0.0013557706149995852

Let’s see with different number of trees.

measures = []

for n_trees in range(5, 51, 5):
    print(n_trees)
    rf = RandomForestClassifier(n_estimators=n_trees)
    rf.fit(X_train, y_train)
    initial_type = [("float_input", FloatTensorType([1, 4]))]
    onx = convert_sklearn(rf, initial_types=initial_type)
    with open("rf_iris_%d.onnx" % n_trees, "wb") as f:
        f.write(onx.SerializeToString())
    sess = rt.InferenceSession("rf_iris_%d.onnx" % n_trees, providers=rt.get_available_providers())

    def sess_predict_proba_loop(x):
        return sess.run([prob_name], {input_name: x.astype(numpy.float32)})[0]

    tsk = speed("loop(X_test, rf.predict_proba, 100)", number=5, repeat=5)
    trt = speed("loop(X_test, sess_predict_proba_loop, 100)", number=5, repeat=5)
    measures.append({"n_trees": n_trees, "sklearn": tsk, "rt": trt})

from pandas import DataFrame

df = DataFrame(measures)
ax = df.plot(x="n_trees", y="sklearn", label="scikit-learn", c="blue", logy=True)
df.plot(x="n_trees", y="rt", label="onnxruntime", ax=ax, c="green", logy=True)
ax.set_xlabel("Number of trees")
ax.set_ylabel("Prediction time (s)")
ax.set_title("Speed comparison between scikit-learn and ONNX Runtime\nFor a random forest on Iris dataset")
ax.legend()
