AST¶
AST (Audio Spectrogram Transformer) is a Transformer-based model designed for audio classification tasks. It takes the spectrogram of an audio signal as input. RBLN NPUs can accelerate AST model inference using Optimum RBLN.
Classes¶
RBLNASTForAudioClassification
¶
Bases: RBLNModel
Audio Spectrogram Transformer model with an audio classification head on top (a linear layer on top of the pooled output) e.g. for datasets like AudioSet, Speech Commands v2.
This model inherits from [RBLNModel
]. Check the superclass documentation for the generic methods the library implements for all its models.
A class to convert and run pre-trained transformer-based ASTForAudioClassification
models on RBLN devices.
It implements the methods to convert a pre-trained transformers ASTForAudioClassification
model into a RBLN transformer model by:
- transferring the checkpoint weights of the original into an optimized RBLN graph,
- compiling the resulting graph using the RBLN Compiler.
Functions¶
from_pretrained(model_id, export=False, rbln_config=None, **kwargs)
classmethod
¶
The from_pretrained()
function is utilized in its standard form as in the HuggingFace transformers library.
User can use this function to load a pre-trained model from the HuggingFace library and convert it to a RBLN model to be run on RBLN NPUs.
Parameters:
Name | Type | Description | Default |
---|---|---|---|
model_id
|
Union[str, Path]
|
The model id of the pre-trained model to be loaded. It can be downloaded from the HuggingFace model hub or a local path, or a model id of a compiled model using the RBLN Compiler. |
required |
export
|
bool
|
A boolean flag to indicate whether the model should be compiled. |
False
|
rbln_config
|
Optional[Union[Dict, RBLNModelConfig]]
|
Configuration for RBLN model compilation and runtime. This can be provided as a dictionary or an instance of the model's configuration class (e.g., |
None
|
kwargs
|
Dict[str, Any]
|
Additional keyword arguments. Arguments with the prefix 'rbln_' are passed to rbln_config, while the remaining arguments are passed to the HuggingFace library. |
{}
|
Returns:
Type | Description |
---|---|
Self
|
A RBLN model instance ready for inference on RBLN NPU devices. |
from_model(model, *, rbln_config=None, **kwargs)
classmethod
¶
Converts and compiles a pre-trained HuggingFace library model into a RBLN model. This method performs the actual model conversion and compilation process.
Parameters:
Name | Type | Description | Default |
---|---|---|---|
model
|
PreTrainedModel
|
The PyTorch model to be compiled. The object must be an instance of the HuggingFace transformers PreTrainedModel class. |
required |
rbln_config
|
Optional[Union[Dict, RBLNModelConfig]]
|
Configuration for RBLN model compilation and runtime. This can be provided as a dictionary or an instance of the model's configuration class (e.g., |
None
|
kwargs
|
Dict[str, Any]
|
Additional keyword arguments. Arguments with the prefix 'rbln_' are passed to rbln_config, while the remaining arguments are passed to the HuggingFace library. |
{}
|
The method performs the following steps:
- Compiles the PyTorch model into an optimized RBLN graph
- Configures the model for the specified NPU device
- Creates the necessary runtime objects if requested
- Saves the compiled model and configurations
Returns:
Type | Description |
---|---|
Self
|
A RBLN model instance ready for inference on RBLN NPU devices. |
save_pretrained(save_directory)
¶
Saves a model and its configuration file to a directory, so that it can be re-loaded using the
[from_pretrained
] class method.
Parameters:
Name | Type | Description | Default |
---|---|---|---|
save_directory
|
Union[str, PathLike]
|
The directory to save the model and its configuration files. Will be created if it doesn't exist. |
required |
