The following code shows how to do post-training quantization with vai_q_tensorflow2 API. You can find a full example here.


float_model = tf.keras.models.load_model(‘float_model.h5’)
from tensorflow_model_optimization.quantization.keras import vitis_quantize
quantizer = vitis_quantize.VitisQuantizer(float_model)
quantized_model = quantizer.quantize_model(calib_dataset=calib_dataset, calib_step=100, calib_batch_size=10) 
  
calib_dataset
"calib_dataset" is used as a representative calibration dataset for calibration. You can use full or part of the eval_dataset, train_dataset, or other datasets.
calib_steps
calib_steps is the total number of steps for calibration. It has a default value of None. If "calib_dataset" is a tf.data dataset, generator, or keras.utils.Sequence instance and steps is None, calibration will run until the dataset is exhausted. This argument is not supported with array inputs.
calib_batch_size
calib_batch_size is the number of samples per batch for calibration. If the "calib_dataset" is in the form of a dataset, generator, or keras.utils.Sequence instances, the batch size is controlled by the dataset itself. If the "calib_dataset" is in the form of a numpy.array object, the default batch size is 32.
