### API Change
|
||
|
||
#### Backwards Incompatible Change
|
||
|
||
##### Python API
|
||
|
||
###### `mindspore.dataset.MindDataset` interface changes input parameter dataset_file([!27542](https://gitee.com/mindspore/mindspore/pulls/27542))
|
||
|
||
`MindDataset` contains the input parameter `dataset_file`, which is in the singular format. It can receive a single file path or a list that stores multiple file paths. Thus It is preferred to change the input parameter `dataset_file` into plural format. In addition, the input parameters of most dataset API, such as `TFRecordDataset`, are in plural formart (`dataset_files`). To ensure consistency, the input parameter `dataset_file` of MindDataset is changed to plural formart as `dataset_files`, we can see the updated version in api of [mindspore.dataset.MindDataset](https://www.mindspore.cn/docs/zh-CN/master/api_python/dataset/mindspore.dataset.MindDataset.html#mindspore.dataset.MindDataset).
|
||
|
||
###### Delete `mindspore.Tensor`'s property `virtual_flag`([!26989](https://gitee.com/mindspore/mindspore/pulls/26989))

###### Delete `mindspore.Parameter`'s property `is_init`([!26989](https://gitee.com/mindspore/mindspore/pulls/26989))
|
||
|
||
###### Delete `mindspore.nn.ROC`'s interface `roc`([!25713](https://gitee.com/mindspore/mindspore/pulls/25713))
|
||
|
||
###### The `shard()` interface of primitive is changed from `shard(strategy)` to `shard(in_strategy=None, out_strategy=None)`
|
||
|
||
###### The `set_auto_parallel_context()` interface of context is changed from
|
||
|
||
###### `set_auto_parallel_context(parallel_mode=AUTO_PARALLEL, auto_parallel_search_mode="dynamic_programming")` to `set_auto_parallel_context(parallel_mode=AUTO_PARALLEL, search_mode="dynamic_programming")`
|
||
|
||
#### Collect Data and Create Landscape
|
||
|
||
##### Python API
|
||
|
||
###### `mindspore.train.callback.SummaryCollector` interface's parameter `collect_specified_data` add new operations `collect_landscape` ([!26229](https://gitee.com/mindspore/mindspore/pulls/26229))
|
||
|
||
`collect_landscape` can collect the parameters needed to create the loss landscape. we can see the updated version in api of [mindspore.train.callback.SummaryCollector](https://www.mindspore.cn/docs/zh-CN/master/api_python/mindspore/mindspore.SummaryCollector.html#mindspore.SummaryCollector).
|
||
|
||
###### `mindspore.train.callback` add new interface `SummaryLandscape` ([!26229](https://gitee.com/mindspore/mindspore/pulls/26229))
|
||
|
||
`SummaryLandscape` can help you to collect loss landscape information. It can create landscape in PCA direction or random direction by calculating loss. We can see the updated version in api of [mindspore.train.callback.SummaryLandscape](https://www.mindspore.cn/docs/zh-CN/master/api_python/mindspore/mindspore.SummaryLandscape.html#mindspore.SummaryLandscape).

But indeed this parameter is never used which means it is an ineffective parameter. Therefore, we remove this parameter in 1.3.0 and users can set this configuration by [mindspore.dataset.config.set_prefetch_size](https://www.mindspore.cn/docs/api/en/r1.3/api_python/mindspore.dataset.config.html#mindspore.dataset.config.set_prefetch_size).

##### Dump Config
|
||
|
||
Previously, we could only dump tensor data for one or all steps. To make the dump feature easier to use, we changed the dump configuration format and dump structure. View the [New Dump Tutorial](https://www.mindspore.cn/tutorials/experts/en/master/debug/dump.html#dump-introduction).
|
||
|
||
| 1.2.1 | 1.3.0 |
|
||
| ------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
||
| `iteration` is an int. | `iteration` is a string. |
|
||
| `op_debug_mode` is in `async_dump_settings` field. | `op_debug_mode` is in `common_dump_settings` field. `async_dump_settings` is removed. |

### API Change
|
||
|
||
#### API Incompatible Change
|
||
|
||
##### C++ API
|
||
|
||
###### Unify LiteSession and TrainSession, Merge LiteSession And TrainSession.([!17356](https://gitee.com/mindspore/mindspore/pulls/17356))
|
||
|
||
Previously, Training on Device use TrainSession while Inference on Device use LiteSession. To simplify implementation, we move TrainSession functions to LiteSession as virtual function. and move APIs previous defined in train_session.h to lite_session.h.
|
||
|
||
```cpp
|
||
class MS_API LiteSession {
|
||
...
|
||
static LiteSession *CreateTrainSession(const std::string &filename, const lite::Context *context,
|
||
bool train_mode = false, const lite::TrainCfg *cfg = nullptr);
|
||
static LiteSession *CreateTransferSession(const std::string &filename_backbone, const std::string &filename_head,
|
||
const lite::Context *context, bool train_mode = false,
|
||
const lite::TrainCfg *cfg = nullptr);
|
||
virtual int Train() { return mindspore::lite::RET_ERROR; }
|
||
virtual int Eval() { return mindspore::lite::RET_OK; }
|
||
virtual int SetupVirtualBatch(int virtual_batch_multiplier, float lr = -1.0f, float momentum = -1.0f) {
|
||
return mindspore::lite::RET_ERROR;
|
||
}
|
||
virtual std::vector<tensor::MSTensor *> GetPredictions() const {
|
||
std::vector<tensor::MSTensor *> outputs;
|
||
return outputs;
|
||
}
|
||
...
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
###### Add Export API for Training on device, obsolete SaveToFile API.([!17356](https://gitee.com/mindspore/mindspore/pulls/17356))
|
||
|
||
Previously, Training on Device uses SaveToFile API to save the training model to file. Export API was added in this release to support more format, more model type(train or interface part of the model), and save weight quant model of train.
|
||
|
||
```cpp
|
||
virtual int Export(const std::string &file_name, lite::ModelType model_type = lite::MT_TRAIN,
|
||
lite::QuantizationType quant_type = lite::QT_DEFAULT, lite::FormatType = lite::FT_FLATBUFFERS) {
|
||
return mindspore::lite::RET_ERROR;
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
###### Add GetFeatureMaps and UpdateFeatureMaps interface for Training on device.([!18344](https://gitee.com/mindspore/mindspore/pulls/18344))
|
||
|
||
When Training on the device, we may need to update the model featuremap and get model featuremap.particularly in MindSpore Federated Scenario.
|
||
|
||
```cpp
|
||
virtual std::vector<tensor::MSTensor *> GetFeatureMaps() const {
|
||
std::vector<tensor::MSTensor *> features;
|
||
return features;
|
||
}
|
||
virtual int UpdateFeatureMaps(const std::vector<tensor::MSTensor *> &features) { return mindspore::lite::RET_ERROR; }
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
#### New features
|
||
|
||
##### Java API
|
||
|
||
###### new static method for creating LiteSession by MSConifg in LiteSession.class
|
||
|
||
Previously, if we want to create a LiteSession object, we need to call two APIs:
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
MSConfig config;
|
||
// config options ...
|
||
LiteSession liteSession = new LiteSession();
|
||
boolean ret = liteSession.init(config);
|
||
if (!ret) {
|
||
// handle init LiteSession failed ...
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
now we can create a LiteSession object with new API just like:
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
MSConfig config;
|
||
// config options ...
|
||
LiteSession liteSession = createSession(config);
|
||
if (liteSession == null) {
|
||
// handle create LiteSession failed ...
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
###### new static method for creating LiteSession byModelBuffer and MSConfig in LiteSession.class
|
||
|
||
Previously, if we want to inference a model, we need to call APIs like:
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
MSConfig config;
|
||
// config options ...
|
||
LiteSession liteSession = new LiteSession();
|
||
boolean initSessionRet = liteSession.init(config);
|
||
if (!initSessionRet) {
|
||
// handle init LiteSession failed and return ...
|
||
}
|
||
Model model = new Model();
|
||
boolean loadModelRet = model.loadModel(modelMappedByteBuffer);
|
||
if (!loadModelRet) {
|
||
// handle load model failed and return ...
|
||
}
|
||
boolean compileModelRet = liteSession.compileGraph(model);
|
||
if (!loadModelRet) {
|
||
// handle compile model failed and return ...
|
||
}
|
||
model.free();
|
||
// liteSession is ready to inference model, call runGraph in LiteSession.class ...
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
now we can use new API just like:
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
MSConfig config;
|
||
// config options ...
|
||
LiteSession liteSession = createSession(modelMappedByteBuffer, config);
|
||
if (liteSession == null) {
|
||
// handle init LiteSession failed and return ...
|
||
}
|
||
// liteSession is ready to inference model, call runGraph in LiteSession.class ...
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
New createSession method is an API that integrates four old APIs: LiteSession.init, Model.loadModel, LiteSession.compileGraph and model.free. It is simple and efficient as it reduces one modelBuffer copy operation.
|
||
|
||
###### new methods getFeaturesMap and updateFeatures for in LiteSession.class
|
||
|
||
Recently, we add a new C++ api in LiteSession class, Correspondingly we add a new java API in LiteSession.java.
|
||
|
||
```java
|
||
public List<MSTensor> getFeaturesMap() {
|
||
List<Long> ret = this.getFeaturesMap(this.sessionPtr);
|
||
ArrayList<MSTensor> tensors = new ArrayList<MSTensor>();
|
||
for (Long msTensorAddr : ret) {
|
||
MSTensor msTensor = new MSTensor(msTensorAddr);
|
||
tensors.add(msTensor);
|
||
}
|
||
return tensors;
|
||
}
|
||
public boolean updateFeatures(List<MSTensor> features) {
|
||
long[] inputsArray = new long[features.size()];
|
||
for (int i = 0; i < features.size(); i++) {
|
||
inputsArray[i] = features.get(i).getMSTensorPtr();
|
||
}
|
||
return this.updateFeatures(this.sessionPtr, inputsArray);
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
###### new methods export to replace saveToFile API in LiteSession.class
|
||
|
||
Recently, we add a new C++ api in LiteSession class, Correspondingly we add a new java API in LiteSession.java.
|
||
|
||
```java
|
||
public boolean export(String modelFileName, int modelType, int quantizationType) {
|
||
return this.export(this.sessionPtr, modelFileName, modelType, quantizationType);
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
###### new train related API moved to LiteSession.class from TrainSession.class
|
||
|
||
Align with update of C++ api in LiteSession class, add new java API to LiteSession.java Correspondingly.
|
||
|
||
```java
|
||
public class LiteSession {
|
||
...
|
||
public static LiteSession createTrainSession(String modelName, final MSConfig config, boolean trainMode){...}
|
||
public boolean train() {...}
|
||
public boolean eval() {...}
|
||
...
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Bug fixes
|
||
|
||
1. Fix the bug that the train session does not release memory cause of refcount bug.
|

###### `mindspore.numpy.array()`, `mindspore.numpy.asarray()`, `mindspore.numpy.asfarray()`, `mindspore.numpy.copy()` now support GRAPH mode, but cannot accept `numpy.ndarray` as input arguments anymore([!12726](https://gitee.com/mindspore/mindspore/pulls/12726))
|
||
|
||
Previously, these interfaces can accept numpy.ndarray as arguments and convert numpy.ndarray to Tensor, but cannot be used in GRAPH mode.
|
||
However, currently MindSpore Parser cannot parse numpy.ndarray in JIT-graph. To support these interfaces in graph mode, we have to remove `numpy.ndarray` support. With that being said, users can still use `Tensor` to convert `numpy.ndarray` to tensors.

###### mindspore.numpy interfaces remove support for keyword arguments `out` and `where`([!12726](https://gitee.com/mindspore/mindspore/pulls/12726))
|
||
|
||
Previously, we have incomplete support for keyword arguments `out` and `where` in mindspore.numpy interfaces, however, the `out` argument is only functional when `where` argument is also provided, and `out` cannot be used to pass reference to numpy functions. Therefore, we have removed these two arguments to avoid any confusion users may have. Their original functionality can be found in [np.where](https://www.mindspore.cn/docs/en/master/api_python/numpy/mindspore.numpy.where.html#mindspore.numpy.where)

###### Turn `ops.MakeRefKey` into an internal interface ([!12010](https://gitee.com/mindspore/mindspore/pulls/12010))
|
||
|
||
Previously MakeRefKey is an external interface that is not used, now make it an internal interface with the same usage. We do not recommend users to use this interface, and we will remove the relevant introduction of this interface from the official website.

###### `ops.ApplyFtrl`, `ops.ApplyMomentum`, `ops.ApplyRMSProp`, `ops.ApplyCenteredRMSProp` change the output on Ascend backend from multiple to a single. ([!11895](https://gitee.com/mindspore/mindspore/pulls/11895))
|
||
|
||
Previously the number of outputs of these operator is different on different backends. To unify their definition we change their output on Ascend backend from multiple to a single.
|
||
|
||
##### `P.FusedBatchNorm`, `P.FusedBatchNormEx` deleted ([!12115](https://gitee.com/mindspore/mindspore/pulls/12115))

The FusedBatchNorm and FusedBatchNormEx interface has been deleted. Please use the batchnorm operator to replace it.
|

|
||
##### `MetaTensor` deleted ([!10325](https://gitee.com/mindspore/mindspore/pulls/10325))
|
||
|
||
The MetaTensor interface has been deleted. The function of MetaTensor has been integrated into tensor.

###### `ControlDepend` is deleted, use `Depend` instead. The decorator `@C.add_flags(has_effect=True)` does not work. ([!13793](https://gitee.com/mindspore/mindspore/pulls/13793))
|
||
|
||
Previously, we used ControlDepend to control the execution order of multiple operators. In version 1.2.0, mindspore introduces the auto-monad side effects expression to ensure that the perform order of user's semantics is correct. Therefore, ControlDepend is deleted and Depend is recommended.
|
||
|
||
In most scenarios, if operators have IO side effects (such as print) or memory side effects (such as assign), they will be executed according to the user's semantics. In some scenarios, if the two operators A and B have no order dependency, and A must be executed before B, we recommend using Depend to specify their execution order. See the API documentation of the Depend operator for specific usage.

In some side-effect scenarios, we need to ensure the execution order of operators.

In order to ensure that operator A is executed before operator B, it is recommended

to insert the Depend operator between operators A and B.
|
||
|
||
Previously, the ControlDepend operator was used to control the execution order.
|
||
Since the ControlDepend operator is deprecated from version 1.1, it is recommended
|

a = A(x) ---> a = A(x)

###### Add some new interfaces in ms_tensor.h for unified runtime API.([!13515](https://gitee.com/mindspore/mindspore/pulls/13515))
|
||
|
||
Previously, users could not create `MSTensor` or modify ``MSTensor, all `MSTensor` are created and managed by framework. However users need to create or modify MSTensor sometimes such as pre-processing input data. So we provide two new interfaces in ms_tensor.h: `CreateTensor` interface for creating `MSTensor` by user and `set_shape` interface for modifying the shape of `MSTensor`.
|
||
|
||
<table>
|
||
<tr>
|
||
<td style="text-align:center"> CreateTensor </td>
|
||
</tr>
|
||

|

|
||

||
```cpp
|
||
/// \brief Create a MSTensor.
|
||
///
|
||
/// \return Pointer to an instance of MindSpore Lite MSTensor.
|
||
static MSTensor *CreateTensor(const std::string &name, TypeId type, const std::vector<int> &shape, const void *data,
|
||
size_t data_len);
|
||
```

|
||
```
|
||
|
||
</td>
|
||
</tr>
|
||
</table>
|
||
|
||
Previously, users could access to data of `MSTensor` by interface named `MutableData`. However `MutableData` is not only returning data of tensor but also allocating data for tensor if its data is nullptr. So we provide a new interfaces in ms_tensor.h named `data` for returning data of tensor without allocating automatically.

|
||
|

The interface named `DimensionSize` is fuinctionally overlapped with the interface named `shape`. For the simplicity of the interface, we delete `DimensionSize` and recommend users to use the new interface named `shape` instead.

###### Move allocator from namespace mindspore::lite to namespace lite for unified runtime API.([!13515](https://gitee.com/mindspore/mindspore/pulls/13515))

### Bug fixes
|
||
|
||
1. Fix the bug that the array in kernel registrar is not initialized.
|
||
2. Fix segment fault caused by releasing of OpParameter in Crop kernel in mistake.
|
||
3. Fix the bug that the MINDIR aware-training model is finally interpreted as weight-quant model.

# MindSpore 1.1.1 Release Notes
|
||
|
||
## MindSpore
|
||
|
||
### Major Features and Improvements
|
||
|
||
#### NewModels
|
||
|
||
- [STABLE] BGCF: a Bayesian Graph Collaborative Filtering(BGCF) framework used to model the uncertainty in the user-item interaction graph and thus recommend accurate and diverse items on Amazon recommendation dataset.(Ascend)
|
||
- [STABLE] GRU: a recurrent neural network architecture like the LSTM(Long-Short Term Memory) on Multi30K dataset.(Ascend)
|
||
- [STABLE] FastText: a simple and efficient text classification algorithm on AG's news topic classification dataset, DBPedia Ontology classification dataset and Yelp Review Polarity dataset.(Ascend)
|
||
- [STABLE] LSTM: a recurrent neural network architecture used to learn word vectors for sentiment analysis on aclImdb_v1 dataset.(Ascend)
|
||
- [STABLE] SimplePoseNet: a convolution-based neural network for the task of human pose estimation and tracking on COCO2017 dataset.(Ascend)
|
||
|
||
#### FrontEnd
|
||
|
||
- [BETA] Support Tensor Fancy Index Getitem with tuple and list. (Ascend/GPU/CPU)
|
||
|
||
### Backwards Incompatible Change
|
||
|
||
#### Python API
|
||
|
||
##### `ops.AvgPool`, `ops.MaxPool`, `ops.MaxPoolWithArgmax` change attr name from 'ksize', 'padding' to 'kernel_size', 'pad_mode' ([!11350](https://gitee.com/mindspore/mindspore/pulls/11350))
|
||
|
||
Previously the kernel size and pad mode attrs of pooling ops are named "ksize" and "padding", which is a little puzzling and inconsistent with convolution ops. So they are rename to "kernel_size" and "pad_mode".

Depend is used for processing dependency operations.
|
||
|
||
In some side-effect scenarios, we need to ensure the execution order of operators.
|
||
In order to ensure that operator A is executed before operator B, it is recommended
|
||
to insert the Depend operator between operators A and B.
|
||
|
||
Previously, the ControlDepend operator was used to control the execution order.
|
||
Since the ControlDepend operator will be deprecated from version 1.2, it is
|
||
recommended to use the Depend operator instead. The replacement method is as follows::
|
||
|
||
a = A(x) ---> a = A(x)
|
||
b = B(y) ---> y = Depend(y, a)
|
||
ControlDepend(a, b) ---> b = B(y)

Inputs:

### Deprecations
|
||
|
||
#### Python API
|
||
|
||
##### `ops.SpaceToBatch`, `ops.BatchToSpace` are deprecated in favor of `ops.SpaceToBatchND`, `ops.BatchToSpaceND`([!11527](https://gitee.com/mindspore/mindspore/pulls/11527))
|
||
|
||
The `ops.SpaceToBatchND`, `ops.BatchToSpaceND` are more general and have same behavior as `ops.SpaceToBatch`, `ops.BatchToSpace` when `block_shape` is a int.
|
||
|
||
##### `ops.DepthwiseConv2dNative` is deprecated in favor of `nn.Conv2D`([!11702](https://gitee.com/mindspore/mindspore/pulls/11702))
|
||
|
||
The `ops.DepthwiseConv2dNative` is only supported by Ascend, it is recommended to directly use `nn.Conv2D`. If `group` is equal to `in_ channels` and `out_channels`, the 2D convolution layer is also a 2D depthwise convolution layer.

### API Change
|
||
|
||
#### Backwards Incompatible Change
|
||
|
||
##### Python API
|
||
|
||
###### Delete shape and dtype of class Initializer ([!7373](https://gitee.com/mindspore/mindspore/pulls/7373/files))
|
||
|
||
Delete shape and dtype attributes of Initializer class.
|
||
|
||
###### Modify the return type of initializer ([!7373](https://gitee.com/mindspore/mindspore/pulls/7373/files))
|
||
|
||
Previously, the return type of initializer function may be string, number, instance of class Tensor or subclass of class Initializer.
|
||
|
||
After modification, initializer function will return instance of class MetaTensor, class Tensor or subclass of class Initializer.
|
||
|
||
Noted that the MetaTensor is forbidden to initialize parameters, so we recommend that use str, number or subclass of Initializer for parameters initialization rather than the initializer functions.

```
|

</td>
|

|

||
###### Modify get_seed function ([!7429](https://gitee.com/mindspore/mindspore/pulls/7429/files))
|
||
|
||
Modify get_seed function implementation
|
||
|
||
Previously, if seed is not set, the value of seed is default, parameters initialized by the normal function are the same every time.
|
||
|
||
After modification, if seed is not set, the value of seed is generated randomly, the initialized parameters change according to the random seed.
|
||
|
||
If you want to fix the initial value of parameters, we suggest to set seed.
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
>>> from mindspore.common import set_seed
|
||
>>> set_seed(1)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
###### `nn.LinSpace` ([!9494](https://gitee.com/mindspore/mindspore/pulls/9494)) has been removed and modify `ops.LinSpace` ([!8920](https://gitee.com/mindspore/mindspore/pulls/8920))
|
||
|
||
The `nn.LinSpace` interface only support passing the value by args previously. For the convenience, we provided enhancive `ops.LinSpace` interface, which support passing the value by the inputs at the latest version. So there is no need for `nn.LinSpace`.

###### Parts of `Optimizer` add target interface ([!6760](https://gitee.com/mindspore/mindspore/pulls/6760/files))
|
||
|
||
The usage of the sparse optimizer is changed.
|
||
|
||
The target interface is used to set the execution backend of the sparse operator.
|
||
|
||
The add_primitive_attr interface is no longer allowed.
|
||
|
||
The following optimizers add the target interface: Adam, FTRL, LazyAdam, ProximalAdagrad

|
||
4. Extending to support operators for x86_64 platform based on SSE/AVX instruction set.
|
||
|
||
#### OpenCL backend
|
||
|
||
1. Add new ops: add 10+ ops, total 58 ops;
|
||
2. Performance optimization: by memory layout optimize, Winograd Convolution select strategyoptimize, SIMT local size optimize, local cache optimize, GPU performance improvement up to 20+% vs MSLITE Version1.0

|
||
5. Add weight quant: support weight quant
|
||
6. Add opencl kernel binary cache: improve Initialization time .
|
||
|
||
#### Post quantization
|
||
|
||
MindSpore Lite supports both weight quantization and full quantization. Currently, Weights can be quantized into 1 ~ 16 bits according to user configuration. In internal testing, quantization of networks, such as classification, detection, segmentation and transformer are well supported. To ensure high accuracy of quantized models, MindSpore Lite uses a pipeline quantization method. In the first phase, the weight and activation value are quantized using linear quantization methods, such as MIN-MAX. In the second phase, the quantization error is analyzed, and uses statistical methods to compensate loss caused by fp32 quantization to a fixed point such as Int8 to quantized models. The features of Post-training quantization are:
|
||
|
||
1. perchannel asymmetric quantization for weights, such as MAX_MIN and KMEANS
|
||
2. Perlayer symmetric quantization for activation, such as KL and MAX_MIN.
|
||
3. perlayer asymmetrical quantization for activation, such as, RemoveOutlier.
|
||
4. accuracy loss compensation, such as BiasCorrection
|
||
|
||
| mobilenet_v2 | ACC (ImageNet) |
|
||
|---|---|
|
||
| FP32 | 71.56% |
|
||
|A8W8 | 71.16% |
|
||
| A8W8(without BiasCorrection) | 70.74% |
|
||
| A8W7 | 71.06% |
|
||
| A7W7 | 70.78% |
|
||
|
||
The above table uses the mobilenet_v2 model from TF official website. Using MindSpore Lite quantization, the precision of A8W8 (8-bit activation value quantization and 8-bit weight quantization) decreases from 0.82% to 0.4% after accuracy loss compensation, for 7-bit quantization, the precision loss is still no more than 1%.
|
||
|
||
#### Training on Device
|
||
|
||
Within MindSpore 1.1 release, the MindSpore Lite provides the following Training-on-Device (ToD) capabilities:
|
||
|
||
1. Learning from scratch and Transfer Learning strategies are supported
|
||
2. MindSpore based models can be converted and used in training on the device. (Third-party models such as TensorFlow and PyTorch for now cannot be directly imported to the framework)
|
||
3. Grad operations are supported for more than 30 operators such as Dense layers, Convolutions and Batch Normalizations. Momentum, SGD, and ADAM optimizers are supported.
|
||
4. Supports networks such as LeNet, Alexnet, Resnet, MobileNetV1/V2/V3, and EffectiveNet, and provides complete model loading, conversion, and Python training scripts on the device side.
|
||
|
||
The MindSpore Lite ToD framework is already in use in the newest Huawei Smart TV, providing a unique and personalized user experience as a family entertainment center.
|
||
|
||
### API Change
