BERT

This notebook illustrates a simple client-server interaction to perform inference on a TensorFlow model using the Python SDK for Konduit Serving.

import numpy as np
import os

This page documents two ways to create Konduit Serving configurations with the Python SDK:

  1. Using Python to create a configuration, and

  2. Writing the configuration as a YAML file, then serving it using the Python SDK.

These approaches are documented in separate tabs throughout this page. For example, the following code block shows the imports for each approach in separate tabs:

from konduit import ParallelInferenceConfig, ServingConfig, TensorFlowConfig, \
ModelConfigType, TensorDataTypesConfig, ModelStep, InferenceConfiguration
from konduit.server import Server
from konduit.client import Client

Overview

Konduit Serving works by defining a series of steps. These include operations such as

  1. Pre- or post-processing steps

  2. One or more machine learning models

  3. Transforming the output in a way that can be understood by humans

If deploying your model does not require pre- nor post-processing, only one step - a machine learning model - is required. This configuration is defined using a single ModelStep.

Before running this notebook, run the build_jar.py script or the konduit init command. Refer to the Building from source page for details.

Start by downloading the model weights to the data folder.

from urllib.request import urlretrieve 
from zipfile import ZipFile
dl_path = "../data/bert/bert.zip"
if not os.path.isfile(dl_path):
    urlretrieve("https://deeplearning4jblob.blob.core.windows.net/testresources/bert_mrpc_frozen_v1.zip", 
                dl_path)
with ZipFile(dl_path, 'r') as zipObj:
    zipObj.extractall()

Configure the step

Define the TensorFlow configuration as a TensorFlowConfig object.

  • tensor_data_types_config: The TensorFlowConfig object requires a dictionary input_data_types. Its keys should represent column names, and the values should represent data types as strings, e.g. "INT32". See here for a list of supported data types.

  • model_config_type: This argument requires a ModelConfigType object. Specify model_type as TENSORFLOW, and model_loading_path to point to the location of TensorFlow weights saved in the PB file format.

input_data_types = {'IteratorGetNext:0': 'INT32',
                    'IteratorGetNext:1': 'INT32',
                    'IteratorGetNext:4': 'INT32'}

tensorflow_config = TensorFlowConfig(
    tensor_data_types_config = TensorDataTypesConfig(
        input_data_types=input_data_types
        ),
    model_config_type = ModelConfigType(
        model_type='TENSORFLOW',
        model_loading_path=os.path.abspath('bert_mrpc_frozen.pb')
    )
)

Now that we have a TensorFlowConfig defined, we can define a ModelStep. The following parameters are specified:

  • model_config: pass the TensorFlowConfig object here

  • parallel_inference_config: specify the number of workers to run in parallel. Here, we specify workers=1.

  • input_names: names for the input data

  • output_names: names for the output data

input_names = list(input_data_types.keys())
output_names = ["loss/Softmax"]

tf_step = ModelStep(
    model_config=tensorflow_config,
    parallel_inference_config=ParallelInferenceConfig(workers=1),
    input_names=input_names,
    output_names=output_names
)

Names of input and output nodes

In TensorFlow, you can find the names of your input and output nodes by iterating throughmodel.inputsand model.outputsrespectively and printing the .os.nameattribute of each. For more details, please refer to this StackOverflow answer.

Configure the server

Specify the following:

  • http_port: select a random port.

  • input_data_format, output_data_format: Specify input and output data formats as strings.

Accepted input and output data formats are as follows:

  • Input: JSON, ARROW, IMAGE, ND4J (not yet implemented) and NUMPY.

  • Output: NUMPY, JSON, ND4J (not yet implemented) and ARROW.

port = np.random.randint(1000, 65535)
serving_config = ServingConfig(
    http_port=port,
    input_data_format='NUMPY',
    output_data_format='NUMPY'
)

The ServingConfig has to be passed to Server in addition to the steps as a Python list. In this case, there is a single step: tf_step.

server = Server(
    serving_config=serving_config,
    steps=[tf_step]
)

By default, Server() looks for the Konduit Serving JAR konduit.jar in the directory the script is run in. To change this default, use the jar_path argument.

Start the server

Start the server:

server.start()
Starting server.................

Server has started successfully.

Configure the client

To configure the client, create a Client object specifying the port number:

client = Client(port=port)

Inference

NDARRAY inputs to ModelSteps must be specified with a preceding batchSize dimension. For batches with a single observation, this can be done by using numpy.expand_dims() to add an additional dimension to your array.

Load some sample data from NumPy files. Note that these are NumPy arrays, each with shape (4, 128):

data_input = {
    'IteratorGetNext:0': np.expand_dims(np.load('../data/bert/input-0.npy'), axis=0),
    'IteratorGetNext:1': np.expand_dims(np.load('../data/bert/input-1.npy'), axis=0),
    'IteratorGetNext:4': np.expand_dims(np.load('../data/bert/input-4.npy'), axis=0)
}
predicted = client.predict(data_input)
print(predicted)

server.stop()
[[9.9860090e-01 1.3990625e-03]
 [7.0319971e-04 9.9929678e-01]
 [9.9866593e-01 1.3340610e-03]
 [9.7927457e-01 2.0725440e-02]]

The configuration is stored as a dictionary. Note that the configuration can be converted to a dictionary using the as_dict() method:

server.config.as_dict()
{'@type': 'InferenceConfiguration',
 'steps': [{'@type': 'ModelStep',
   'inputNames': ['IteratorGetNext:0',
    'IteratorGetNext:1',
    'IteratorGetNext:4'],
   'outputNames': ['loss/Softmax'],
   'modelConfig': {'@type': 'TensorFlowConfig',
    'tensorDataTypesConfig': {'@type': 'TensorDataTypesConfig',
     'inputDataTypes': {'IteratorGetNext:0': 'INT32',
      'IteratorGetNext:1': 'INT32',
      'IteratorGetNext:4': 'INT32'}},
    'modelConfigType': {'@type': 'ModelConfigType',
     'modelType': 'TENSORFLOW',
     'modelLoadingPath': 'C:\\Users\\Skymind AI Berhad\\Documents\\konduit-serving-examples\\notebooks\\bert_mrpc_frozen.pb'}},
   'parallelInferenceConfig': {'@type': 'ParallelInferenceConfig',
    'workers': 1}}],
 'servingConfig': {'@type': 'ServingConfig',
  'httpPort': 36846,
  'inputDataFormat': 'NUMPY',
  'outputDataFormat': 'NUMPY',
  'logTimings': True}}
