Attributes A named attribute containing either singular float, integer, string, graph, and tensor values, or repeated float, integer, string, graph, and tensor values. An AttributeProto MUST contain the name field, and *only one* of the following content fields, effectively enforcing a C/C++ union equivalent.

Used in: FunctionProto, NodeProto

• optional string name = 1

  The name field MUST be present for this version of the IR.

  namespace Attribute

• optional string ref_attr_name = 21

  if ref_attr_name is not empty, ref_attr_name is the attribute name in parent function. In this case, this AttributeProto does not contain data, and it's a reference of attribute in parent scope. NOTE: This should ONLY be used in function (sub-graph). It's invalid to be used in main graph.

• optional string doc_string = 13

  A human-readable documentation for this attribute. Markdown is allowed.

• optional AttributeProto.AttributeType type = 20

  The type field MUST be present for this version of the IR. For 0.0.1 versions of the IR, this field was not defined, and implementations needed to use has_field heuristics to determine which value field was in use. For IR_VERSION 0.0.2 or later, this field MUST be set and match the f|i|s|t|... field in use. This change was made to accommodate proto3 implementations.

For example: For tensor 'a', it may have {'SCALE_TENSOR', 'a_scale'} and {'ZERO_POINT_TENSOR', 'a_zero_point'} annotated, which means, tensor 'a_scale' and tensor 'a_zero_point' are scale and zero point of tensor 'a' in the model.

Models ModelProto is a top-level file/container format for bundling a ML model and associating its computation graph with metadata. The semantics of the model are described by the associated GraphProto's.

• optional int64 ir_version = 1

  The version of the IR this model targets. See Version enum above. This field MUST be present.

• repeated OperatorSetIdProto opset_import = 8

  The OperatorSets this model relies on. All ModelProtos MUST have at least one entry that specifies which version of the ONNX OperatorSet is being imported.

• repeated TrainingInfoProto training_info = 20

  Training-specific information. Sequentially executing all stored `TrainingInfoProto.algorithm`s and assigning their outputs following the corresponding `TrainingInfoProto.update_binding`s is one training iteration. Similarly, to initialize the model (as if training hasn't happened), the user should sequentially execute all stored `TrainingInfoProto.initialization`s and assigns their outputs using `TrainingInfoProto.initialization_binding`s. If this field is empty, the training behavior of the model is undefined.

• repeated FunctionProto functions = 25

  A list of function protos local to the model. Name of the function "FunctionProto.name" should be unique within the domain "FunctionProto.domain". In case of any conflicts the behavior (whether the model local functions are given higher priority, or standard operator sets are given higher priotity or this is treated as error) is defined by the runtimes. The operator sets imported by FunctionProto should be compatible with the ones imported by ModelProto and other model local FunctionProtos. Example, if same operator set say 'A' is imported by a FunctionProto and ModelProto or by 2 FunctionProtos then versions for the operator set may be different but, the operator schema returned for op_type, domain, version combination for both the versions should be same for every node in the function body. One FunctionProto can reference other FunctionProto in the model, however, recursive reference is not allowed.

Nodes Computation graphs are made up of a DAG of nodes, which represent what is commonly called a "layer" or "pipeline stage" in machine learning frameworks. For example, it can be a node of type "Conv" that takes in an image, a filter tensor and a bias tensor, and produces the convolved output.

(b) Indices can be a tensor of shape [NNZ], in which case the i-th value must be the linearized-index of the i-th value (in the values tensor). The linearized-index can be converted into an index tuple (k_1,...,k_rank) using the shape provided below. The indices must appear in ascending order without duplication.

When this raw_data field is used to store tensor value, elements MUST be stored in as fixed-width, little-endian order. Floating-point data types MUST be stored in IEEE 754 format. Complex64 elements must be written as two consecutive FLOAT values, real component first. Complex128 elements must be written as two consecutive DOUBLE values, real component first. Boolean type MUST be written one byte per tensor element (00000001 for true, 00000000 for false). Note: the advantage of specific field rather than the raw_data field is that in some cases (e.g. int data), protobuf does a better packing via variable length storage, and may lead to smaller binary footprint. When this field is present, the data_type field MUST NOT be STRING or UNDEFINED

• repeated StringStringEntryProto external_data = 13

  Data can be stored inside the protobuf file using type-specific fields or raw_data. Alternatively, raw bytes data can be stored in an external file, using the external_data field. external_data stores key-value pairs describing data location. Recognized keys are: - "location" (required) - POSIX filesystem path relative to the directory where the ONNX protobuf model was stored - "offset" (optional) - position of byte at which stored data begins.

Training information TrainingInfoProto stores information for training a model. In particular, this defines two functionalities: an initialization-step and a training-algorithm-step. Initialization resets the model back to its original state as if no training has been performed. Training algorithm improves the model based on input data. The semantics of the initialization-step is that the initializers in ModelProto.graph and in TrainingInfoProto.algorithm are first initialized as specified by the initializers in the graph, and then updated by the "initialization_binding" in every instance in ModelProto.training_info. The field "algorithm" defines a computation graph which represents a training algorithm's step. After the execution of a TrainingInfoProto.algorithm, the initializers specified by "update_binding" may be immediately updated. If the targeted training algorithm contains consecutive update steps (such as block coordinate descent methods), the user needs to create a TrainingInfoProto for each step.

Used in: ModelProto

• optional GraphProto initialization = 1

  This field describes a graph to compute the initial tensors upon starting the training process. Initialization graph has no input and can have multiple outputs. Usually, trainable tensors in neural networks are randomly initialized. To achieve that, for each tensor, the user can put a random number operator such as RandomNormal or RandomUniform in TrainingInfoProto.initialization.node and assign its random output to the specific tensor using "initialization_binding". This graph can also set the initializers in "algorithm" in the same TrainingInfoProto; a use case is resetting the number of training iteration to zero. By default, this field is an empty graph and its evaluation does not produce any output. Thus, no initializer would be changed by default.

• optional GraphProto algorithm = 2

  This field represents a training algorithm step. Given required inputs, it computes outputs to update initializers in its own or inference graph's initializer lists. In general, this field contains loss node, gradient node, optimizer node, increment of iteration count. An execution of the training algorithm step is performed by executing the graph obtained by combining the inference graph (namely "ModelProto.graph") and the "algorithm" graph. That is, the actual input/initializer/output/node/value_info/sparse_initializer list of the training graph is the concatenation of "ModelProto.graph.input/initializer/output/node/value_info/sparse_initializer" and "algorithm.input/initializer/output/node/value_info/sparse_initializer" in that order. This combined graph must satisfy the normal ONNX conditions. Now, let's provide a visualization of graph combination for clarity. Let the inference graph (i.e., "ModelProto.graph") be tensor_a, tensor_b -> MatMul -> tensor_c -> Sigmoid -> tensor_d and the "algorithm" graph be tensor_d -> Add -> tensor_e The combination process results tensor_a, tensor_b -> MatMul -> tensor_c -> Sigmoid -> tensor_d -> Add -> tensor_e Notice that an input of a node in the "algorithm" graph may reference the output of a node in the inference graph (but not the other way round). Also, inference node cannot reference inputs of "algorithm". With these restrictions, inference graph can always be run independently without training information. By default, this field is an empty graph and its evaluation does not produce any output. Evaluating the default training step never update any initializers.

• repeated StringStringEntryProto initialization_binding = 3

  This field specifies the bindings from the outputs of "initialization" to some initializers in "ModelProto.graph.initializer" and the "algorithm.initializer" in the same TrainingInfoProto. See "update_binding" below for details. By default, this field is empty and no initializer would be changed by the execution of "initialization".

• repeated StringStringEntryProto update_binding = 4

  Gradient-based training is usually an iterative procedure. In one gradient descent iteration, we apply x = x - r * g where "x" is the optimized tensor, "r" stands for learning rate, and "g" is gradient of "x" with respect to a chosen loss. To avoid adding assignments into the training graph, we split the update equation into y = x - r * g x = y The user needs to save "y = x - r * g" into TrainingInfoProto.algorithm. To tell that "y" should be assigned to "x", the field "update_binding" may contain a key-value pair of strings, "x" (key of StringStringEntryProto) and "y" (value of StringStringEntryProto). For a neural network with multiple trainable (mutable) tensors, there can be multiple key-value pairs in "update_binding". The initializers appears as keys in "update_binding" are considered mutable variables. This implies some behaviors as described below. 1. We have only unique keys in all "update_binding"s so that two variables may not have the same name. This ensures that one variable is assigned up to once. 2. The keys must appear in names of "ModelProto.graph.initializer" or "TrainingInfoProto.algorithm.initializer". 3. The values must be output names of "algorithm" or "ModelProto.graph.output". 4. Mutable variables are initialized to the value specified by the corresponding initializer, and then potentially updated by "initializer_binding"s and "update_binding"s in "TrainingInfoProto"s. This field usually contains names of trainable tensors (in ModelProto.graph), optimizer states such as momentums in advanced stochastic gradient methods (in TrainingInfoProto.graph), and number of training iterations (in TrainingInfoProto.graph). By default, this field is empty and no initializer would be changed by the execution of "algorithm".
