I'm trying to get KeithIto's Tacotron model run on Intel OpenVINO with NCS. The model optimizer fails to convert the frozen model to IR format.

After asking in the Intel Forum, I was told the 2018 R5 release didn't have GRU support and I changed it to LSTM cells. But the model still runs well in tensorflow after training it. Also I updated my OpenVINO to 2019 R1 release. But the optimizer still threw errors. The model has mainly two input nodes: inputs[N,T_in] and input_lengths[N]; where N is batch size, T_in is number of steps in the input time series, and values are character IDs with default shapes as [1,?] and [1]. The problem is with [1,?] as model optimizer doesn't allow for dynamic shapes. I tried different values and it always throws some errors.

I tried frozen graphs with output node "model/griffinlim/Squeeze" which is the final decoder output and also with "model/inference/dense/BiasAdd" as mentioned in (https://github.com/keithito/tacotron/issues/95#issuecomment-362854371) which is the input for the Griffin-lim vocoder so that I can do the Spectrogram2Wav part outside the model and reduce it's complexity.

I also tried different methods for freezing the graph.

METHODS 1: Using freeze_graph.py provided in Tensorflow after dumping graph with:

tf.train.write_graph(self.session.graph.as_graph_def(), "models/", "graph.pb", as_text=True)

followed by:

python freeze_graph.py --input_graph .\models\graph.pb  --output_node_names "model/griffinlim/Squeeze" --output_graph .\logs-tacotron\freezeinf.pb --input_checkpoint .\logs-tacotron\model.ckpt-33000 --input_binary=true

METHODS 2: Using the following code after loading the model:

frozen = tf.graph_util.convert_variables_to_constants(self.session,self.session.graph_def, ["model/inference/dense/BiasAdd"]) #model/griffinlim/Squeeze
graph_io.write_graph(frozen, "models/", "freezeinf.pb", as_text=False)

I expected the BatchNormalization and Dropout layers to be removed after the freezing, but looking at the errors it seems that it still exists.

Environment

OS: Windows 10 Pro

Python 3.6.5

Tensorflow 1.12.0

OpenVINO 2019 R1 release

Can anyone help with the above problems with the optimizer?

  • Have you tried to use the hint from logs: `Use --input_shape with positive integers to override model input shapes` ? – kuszi Apr 17 '19 at 11:55
  • Yes I had tried. But there are a lot of nodes(really a lot) in the convolution bank that has variable shapes and is simply not feasible to provide input shapes for all. I expected the model optimizer to infer the shapes from the input shapes which I had provided. But it simply doesn't. The DeepSpeech model guide provided by Intel contains similar structure but somehow the frozen graph has a fixed shape for nodes when I check in Tensorboard. Is there any way to freeze my graph with fixed shape and no BatchNorms & Dropout layers? – Sujeendran Menon Apr 18 '19 at 12:36

OpenVINO does not support this model yet. We will keep you updated when it will be.

  • Could you please tell approximately how long will it be before a TTS model implementation will be available for testing in OpenVINO? – Sujeendran Menon Apr 18 '19 at 12:37
