function get_n_bits_dict

get_n_bits_dict(n_bits: Union[int, Dict[str, int]]) → Dict[str, int]

Convert the n_bits parameter into a proper dictionary.

Args:

• n_bits (int, Dict[str, int]): number of bits for quantization, can be a single value or a dictionary with the following keys : - "op_inputs" and "op_weights" (mandatory) - "model_inputs" and "model_outputs" (optional, default to 5 bits). When using a single integer for n_bits, its value is assigned to "op_inputs" and "op_weights" bits. The maximum between this value and a default value (5) is then assigned to the number of "model_inputs" "model_outputs". This default value is a compromise between model accuracy and runtime performance in FHE. "model_outputs" gives the precision of the final network's outputs, while "model_inputs" gives the precision of the network's inputs. "op_inputs" and "op_weights" both control the quantization for inputs and weights of all layers.

Returns:

• n_bits_dict (Dict[str, int]): A dictionary properly representing the number of bits to use for quantization.

class ONNXConverter

Base ONNX to Concrete ML computation graph conversion class.

This class provides a method to parse an ONNX graph and apply several transformations. First, it creates QuantizedOps for each ONNX graph op. These quantized ops have calibrated quantizers that are useful when the operators work on integer data or when the output of the ops is the output of the encrypted program. For operators that compute in float and will be merged to TLUs, these quantizers are not used. Second, this converter creates quantized tensors for initializer and weights stored in the graph.

This class should be sub-classed to provide specific calibration and quantization options depending on the usage (Post-training quantization vs Quantization Aware training).

Arguments:

• n_bits (int, Dict[str, int]): number of bits for quantization, can be a single value or a dictionary with the following keys : - "op_inputs" and "op_weights" (mandatory) - "model_inputs" and "model_outputs" (optional, default to 5 bits). When using a single integer for n_bits, its value is assigned to "op_inputs" and "op_weights" bits. The maximum between this value and a default value (5) is then assigned to the number of "model_inputs" "model_outputs". This default value is a compromise between model accuracy and runtime performance in FHE. "model_outputs" gives the precision of the final network's outputs, while "model_inputs" gives the precision of the network's inputs. "op_inputs" and "op_weights" both control the quantization for inputs and weights of all layers.

• y_model (NumpyModule): Model in numpy.

• is_signed (bool): Whether the weights of the layers can be signed. Currently, only the weights can be signed.
