Neural Networks¶

A neural network is defined through a collection of layers and represents a directed acyclic graph (DAG). Each layer has a name, a layer type, a list of input names, a list of output names, and a collection of parameters specific to the layer type.

The graph structure and connectivity of the neural network is inferred from the input and output names. A neural network starts with the layer whose input name is equal to the value specified in Model.description.input.name, and ends with the layer whose output name is equal to the value specified in Model.description.output.name. Layers must have unique input and output names, and a layer may not have input or output names that refer to layers that are not yet defined.

CoreML supports sequential data that can be 1- or 3-dimensional. 3-dimensional data typically represents an image feature map, whose shape is denoted by [C, H, W], which corresponds to the channel, height, and width, respectively. 1-dimensional data is a set of features whose shape is denoted by [C], and is equivalent to 3-dimensional data with the shape [C, 1, 1].

For the purposes of this specification, batch dimension is ignored. Thus, a sequence of 3-dimensional data is to be understood as a 4-dimensional array, whose shape is denoted by [Seq_length, C, H, W], and a sequence of 1-dimensional data is to be understood as a 2-dimensional array, whose shape is denoted by [Seq_length, C], which is equivalent to a 4-dimensional array with the shape [Seq_length, C, 1, 1]. This axes order is important to remember while setting parameters for layers such as “reshape” and “permute”.

At runtime, all data blobs are internally represented as 5-dimensional blobs with the shape [Seq_length, Batch, C, H, W].

A layer may process input data differently if operating over a sequence; details of this behavior is documented in the layer’s message. Otherwise, sequential data is processed like a batch — that is, the sequence of inputs are processed independently and in parallel.

The network input shape specified by Model.description.input.type must be compatible with the expected input shape of the network input layer, i.e. the last dimension is the fastest moving one.

All data blobs, as well as weight parameters, are stored using row-major ordering, i.e. the last dimension is the fastest moving one.

        CustomLayerParams custom = 500;
    }
}

BorderAmounts¶

Specifies the amount of spatial border to be either padded or cropped.

For padding:

H_out = borderAmounts[0].startEdgeSize + H_in + borderAmounts[0].endEdgeSize
W_out = borderAmounts[1].startEdgeSize + W_in + borderAmounts[1].endEdgeSize

topPaddingAmount == Height startEdgeSize
bottomPaddingAmount == Height endEdgeSize
leftPaddingAmount == Width startEdgeSize
rightPaddingAmount == Width endEdgeSize

For cropping:

H_out = (-borderAmounts[0].startEdgeSize) + H_in + (-borderAmounts[0].endEdgeSize)
W_out = (-borderAmounts[1].startEdgeSize) + W_in + (-borderAmounts[1].endEdgeSize)

topCropAmount == Height startEdgeSize
bottomCropAmount == Height endEdgeSize
leftCropAmount == Width startEdgeSize
rightCropAmount == Width endEdgeSize

message BorderAmounts {
    message EdgeSizes {
        uint64 startEdgeSize = 1;

        uint64 endEdgeSize = 2;
    }

    repeated EdgeSizes borderAmounts = 10;
}

BorderAmounts.EdgeSizes¶

message EdgeSizes {
    uint64 startEdgeSize = 1;

    uint64 endEdgeSize = 2;
}

ValidPadding¶

Specifies the type of padding to be used with Convolution/Deconvolution and Pooling layers. After padding, input spatial shape: [H_in, W_in], gets modified to the output spatial shape [H_out, W_out].

topPaddingAmount == Height startEdgeSize == borderAmounts[0].startEdgeSize
bottomPaddingAmount == Height endEdgeSize == borderAmounts[0].endEdgeSize
leftPaddingAmount == Width startEdgeSize == borderAmounts[1].startEdgeSize
rightPaddingAmount == Width endEdgeSize == borderAmounts[1].endEdgeSize

With Convolution or Pooling:

H_out = int_division_round_down((H_in + topPaddingAmount + bottomPaddingAmount - KernelSize[0]),stride[0]) + 1

which is same as:

H_out = int_division_round_up((H_in + topPaddingAmount + bottomPaddingAmount - KernelSize[0] + 1),stride[0])

With Deconvolution:

H_out = (H_in-1) * stride[0] + kernelSize[0] - (topPaddingAmount + bottomPaddingAmount)

The equivalent expressions hold true for W_out as well.

By default, the values of paddingAmounts are set to 0, which results in a “true” valid padding. If non-zero values are provided for paddingAmounts, “valid” convolution/pooling is performed within the spatially expanded input.

message ValidPadding {
    BorderAmounts paddingAmounts = 1;
}

SamePadding¶

Specifies the type of padding to be used with Convolution/Deconvolution and pooling layers. After padding, input spatial shape: [H_in, W_in], gets modified to the output spatial shape [H_out, W_out]. With Convolution or pooling:

H_out = int_division_round_up(H_in,stride[0])
W_out = int_division_round_up(W_in,stride[1])

This is achieved by using the following padding amounts:

totalPaddingHeight = max(0,(H_out-1) * stride[0] + KernelSize[0] - Hin)
totalPaddingWidth = max(0,(W_out-1) * stride[1] + KernelSize[1] - Win)

There are two modes of asymmetry: BOTTOM_RIGHT_HEAVY, and TOP_LEFT_HEAVY.

If the mode is BOTTOM_RIGHT_HEAVY:

topPaddingAmount = floor(totalPaddingHeight / 2)
bottomPaddingAmount = totalPaddingHeight - topPaddingAmount
leftPaddingAmount = floor(totalPaddingWidth / 2)
rightPaddingAmount = totalPaddingWidth - leftPaddingAmount

If the mode is TOP_LEFT_HEAVY:

bottomPaddingAmount = floor(totalPaddingHeight / 2)
topPaddingAmount = totalPaddingHeight - bottomPaddingAmount
rightPaddingAmount = floor(totalPaddingWidth / 2)
leftPaddingAmount = totalPaddingWidth - rightPaddingAmount

With Deconvolution:

H_out = H_in * stride[0]
W_out = W_in * stride[1]

message SamePadding {
    enum SamePaddingMode {
        BOTTOM_RIGHT_HEAVY = 0;
        TOP_LEFT_HEAVY = 1;
    }
    SamePaddingMode asymmetryMode = 1;
}

ConvolutionLayerParams¶

A layer that performs spatial convolution or deconvolution.

y = ConvolutionLayer(x)

Requires 1 input and produces 1 output.

Input: A blob with shape [inputChannels,inputHeight,inputWidth] or [C_in, H_in, W_in].
Output: A blob with shape [outputChannels,outputHeight,outputWidth] or [C_out, H_out, W_out].

If dilationFactor is not 1, effective kernel size is modified as follows:

KernelSize[0] <-- (kernelSize[0]-1) * dilationFactor[0] + 1
KernelSize[1] <-- (kernelSize[1]-1) * dilationFactor[1] + 1

Type of padding can be valid or same. Output spatial dimensions depend on the the type of padding. For details, refer to the descriptions of the messages “ValidPadding” and “SamePadding”. Padded values are all zeros.

For Deconvolution, ConvolutionPaddingType (valid or same) is ignored when outputShape is set.

message ConvolutionLayerParams {
    uint64 outputChannels = 1;

    uint64 kernelChannels = 2;

    uint64 nGroups = 10;

    repeated uint64 kernelSize = 20;

    repeated uint64 stride = 30;

    repeated uint64 dilationFactor = 40;

    oneof ConvolutionPaddingType {
        ValidPadding valid = 50;
        SamePadding same = 51;
    }

    bool isDeconvolution = 60;

    bool hasBias = 70;

}

Requires 1 input and produces 1 output.

Input: A blob with shape [C_in] or [C_in, 1, 1], where C_in is equal to inputChannels.
Output: A blob with shape [C_out], where C_out is equal to outputChannels.

message InnerProductLayerParams {

Output: A sequence of 1-dimensional features of size outputChannels (equivalent to [Seq_length, outputChannels, 1, 1]).

message EmbeddingLayerParams {
    uint64 inputDim = 1;
    uint64 outputChannels = 2;

    bool hasBias = 10;

    WeightParams weights = 20;
    WeightParams bias = 21;
}

BatchnormLayerParams¶

A layer that performs batch normalization, which is performed along the channel axis, and repeated along the other axes, if present.

y = BatchnormLayer(x)

Requires 1 input and produces 1 output.

This operation is described by the following formula:

$y_i = \gamma_i \dfrac{ (x_i - \mu_i)}{\sqrt{\sigma_i^2 + \epsilon}} + \beta_i \;,\;i=1,....,C$

Input: A blob with shape [C] or [C, H, W].
Output: A blob with the same shape as the input.

message BatchnormLayerParams {
    uint64 channels = 1;

    bool computeMeanVar = 5;
    bool instanceNormalization = 6;

    float epsilon = 10;

    WeightParams gamma=15;
    WeightParams beta=16;
    WeightParams mean=17;
    WeightParams variance=18;
}

PoolingLayerParams¶

A spatial pooling layer.

y = PoolingLayer(x)

Requires 1 input and produces 1 output.

Input: A blob with shape [C, H_in, W_in].
Output: A blob with shape [C, H_out, W_out].

Padding options are similar to ConvolutionLayerParams with the additional option of ValidCompletePadding (includeLastPixel), which ensures that the last application of the kernel always includes the last pixel of the input image, if there is padding.

H_out = int_division_round_up((H_in + 2 * paddingAmounts[0] - kernelSize[0]),Stride[0]) + 1)
if (paddingAmounts[0] > 0 or paddingAmounts[1] > 0)
     if ((H_out - 1) * Stride >= H_in + paddingAmounts[0]) {
         H_out = H_out - 1
     }
}

The equivalent expressions hold true for W_out as well. Only symmetric padding is supported with this option.

message PoolingLayerParams {
    enum PoolingType{
        MAX = 0;
        AVERAGE = 1;
        L2 = 2;
    }

        SamePadding same = 31;
        ValidCompletePadding includeLastPixel = 32;
    }

    bool globalPooling = 60;
}

message ValidCompletePadding {
    repeated uint64 paddingAmounts = 10;
}

PaddingLayerParams¶

A layer that performs padding along spatial dimensions.

y = PaddingLayer(x)

Requires 1 input and produces 1 output.

Input: A blob with shape [C, H_in, W_in].
Output: A blob with shape [C, H_out, W_out].

Output dimensions are calculated as follows:

H_out = H_in + topPaddingAmount + bottomPaddingAmount
W_out = W_in + leftPaddingAmount + rightPaddingAmount

topPaddingAmount == Height startEdgeSize == borderAmounts[0].startEdgeSize
bottomPaddingAmount == Height endEdgeSize == borderAmounts[0].endEdgeSize
leftPaddingAmount == Width startEdgeSize == borderAmounts[1].startEdgeSize
rightPaddingAmount == Width endEdgeSize == borderAmounts[1].endEdgeSize

There are three types of padding:

PaddingConstant, which fills a constant value at the border.
PaddingReflection, which reflects the values at the border.
PaddingReplication, which replicates the values at the border.

Given the following input:

[1, 3, 4]  :  1   2   3   4
              5   6   7   8
              9   10  11  12

Output: A sequence of a different length of 3-dimensional blobs. Shape: [InputShape[axis[0]], InputShape[axis[1]], InputShape[axis[2]], InputShape[axis[3]]]. Hence output is a sequence of length InputShape[axis[0]].

Examples:

If axis is set to [0, 3, 1, 2], then the output has shape [W,C,H] and has the same sequence length that of the input.
If axis is set to [3, 1, 2, 0], and the input is a sequence of data with length Seq and shape [C, 1, 1], then the output is a unit sequence of data with shape [C, 1, Seq].
If axis is set to [0, 3, 2, 1], the output is a reverse of the input: [C, H, W] -> [W, H, C].
If axis is not set, or is set to [0, 1, 2, 3], the output is the same as the input.

Negative indexing is supported for endIndex: -1 denotes N, -2 denotes N-1 and so on, where N is the length of the dimension to be sliced.

message SliceLayerParams {

    int64 startIndex = 1;
    int64 endIndex = 2;
