Linrar Regression with pytorch¶
class TorchLinearRegression(torch.nn.Module):
def __init__(self, n_dims: int, n_targets: int):
super().__init__()
self.linear = torch.nn.Linear(n_dims, n_targets)
def forward(self, x):
return self.linear(x)
def train_loop(dataloader, model, loss_fn, optimizer):
total_loss = 0.0
# Set the model to training mode - important for batch normalization and dropout layers
# Unnecessary in this situation but added for best practices
model.train()
for X, y in dataloader:
# Compute prediction and loss
pred = model(X)
loss = loss_fn(pred.ravel(), y)
# Backpropagation
loss.backward()
optimizer.step()
optimizer.zero_grad()
# training loss
total_loss += loss
return total_loss
model = TorchLinearRegression(X_train.shape[1], 1)
optimizer = torch.optim.SGD(model.parameters(), lr=1e-3)
loss_fn = torch.nn.MSELoss()
device = "cpu"
model = model.to(device)
dataset = torch.utils.data.TensorDataset(
torch.Tensor(X_train).to(device), torch.Tensor(y_train).to(device)
)
dataloader = torch.utils.data.DataLoader(dataset, batch_size=1)
for i in range(5):
loss = train_loop(dataloader, model, loss_fn, optimizer)
print(f"iteration {i}, loss={loss}")
iteration 0, loss=1460074.5
iteration 1, loss=152058.5
iteration 2, loss=83069.421875
iteration 3, loss=79433.890625
iteration 4, loss=79296.0625
Let’s check the error
TorchLinearRegression: tl2=105.21476885763617, tr2=0.9813997135615875
And the coefficients.
print("coefficients:")
for p in model.parameters():
print(p)
coefficients:
Parameter containing:
tensor([[ 3.3271e+01, 6.8659e+01, 4.7810e-01, -4.0827e-02, 5.3623e-02]],
requires_grad=True)
Parameter containing:
tensor([1.2511], requires_grad=True)
Conversion to ONNX¶
Let’s convert it to ONNX.
onx = to_onnx(model, (torch.Tensor(X_test[:2]),), input_names=["x"])
Let’s check it is work.
sess = InferenceSession(onx.SerializeToString(), providers=["CPUExecutionProvider"])
res = sess.run(None, {"x": X_test.astype(np.float32)[:2]})
print(res)
[array([[ 86.9978 ],
[-105.59764]], dtype=float32)]
And the model.

With dynamic shapes¶
The dynamic shapes are used by torch.export.export() and must
follow the convention described there. The dynamic dimension allows
any value. The model is then valid for many different shapes.
That’s usually what users need.
onx = to_onnx(
model,
(torch.Tensor(X_test[:2]),),
input_names=["x"],
dynamic_shapes={"x": {0: torch.export.Dim("batch")}},
)
print(pretty_onnx(onx))
opset: domain='' version=18
input: name='x' type=dtype('float32') shape=['batch', 5]
init: name='GemmTransposePattern--p_linear_weight::T10' type=float32 shape=(1, 5)-- GraphBuilder.constant_folding.from/fold(init7_s2_1_-1,p_linear_weight::T10)##p_linear_weight::T10/GraphBuilder.constant_folding.from/fold(p_linear_weight)##p_linear_weight/DynamoInterpret.placeholder.1/P(linear.weight)##init7_s2_1_-1/TransposeEqualReshapePattern.apply.new_shape
init: name='linear.bias' type=float32 shape=(1,) -- array([1.2511016], dtype=float32)-- DynamoInterpret.placeholder.1/P(linear.bias)
Gemm(x, GemmTransposePattern--p_linear_weight::T10, linear.bias, transB=1) -> output_0
output: name='output_0' type=dtype('float32') shape=['batch', 1]
For simplicity, it is possible to use torch.export.Dim.DYNAMIC
or torch.export.Dim.AUTO.
onx = to_onnx(
model,
(torch.Tensor(X_test[:2]),),
input_names=["x"],
dynamic_shapes={"x": {0: torch.export.Dim.DYNAMIC}},
)
print(pretty_onnx(onx))
opset: domain='' version=18
input: name='x' type=dtype('float32') shape=['batch', 5]
init: name='GemmTransposePattern--p_linear_weight::T10' type=float32 shape=(1, 5)-- GraphBuilder.constant_folding.from/fold(init7_s2_1_-1,p_linear_weight::T10)##p_linear_weight::T10/GraphBuilder.constant_folding.from/fold(p_linear_weight)##p_linear_weight/DynamoInterpret.placeholder.1/P(linear.weight)##init7_s2_1_-1/TransposeEqualReshapePattern.apply.new_shape
