Models

MLModel

class coremltools.models.model.MLModel(model, is_temp_package=False, mil_program=None, skip_model_load=False, compute_units=ComputeUnit.ALL, weights_dir=None)

This class defines the minimal interface to a CoreML object in Python.

At a high level, the protobuf specification consists of:

• Model description: Encodes names and type information of the inputs and outputs to the model.

• Model parameters: The set of parameters required to represent a specific instance of the model.

• Metadata: Information about the origin, license, and author of the model.

With this class, you can inspect a CoreML model, modify metadata, and make predictions for the purposes of testing (on select platforms).

Examples

# Load the model
model = MLModel("HousePricer.mlmodel")

# Set the model metadata
model.author = "Author"
model.license = "BSD"
model.short_description = "Predicts the price of a house in the Seattle area."

# Get the interface to the model
model.input_description
model.output_description

# Set feature descriptions manually
model.input_description["bedroom"] = "Number of bedrooms"
model.input_description["bathrooms"] = "Number of bathrooms"
model.input_description["size"] = "Size (in square feet)"

# Set
model.output_description["price"] = "Price of the house"

# Make predictions
predictions = model.predict({"bedroom": 1.0, "bath": 1.0, "size": 1240})

# Get the spec of the model
spec = model.get_spec()

# Save the model
model.save("HousePricer.mlpackage")

# Load the model from the spec object
spec = model.get_spec()
# modify spec (e.g. rename inputs/ouputs etc)
model = MLModel(spec)
# if model type is mlprogram, i.e. spec.WhichOneof('Type') == "mlProgram", then:
model = MLModel(spec, weights_dir=model.weights_dir)

__init__(model, is_temp_package=False, mil_program=None, skip_model_load=False, compute_units=ComputeUnit.ALL, weights_dir=None)

Construct an MLModel from an .mlmodel.

Parameters:

model: str or Model_pb2

For MLProgram, the model can be a path string (.mlpackage) or Model_pb2. If its a path string, it must point to a directory containing bundle artifacts (such as weights.bin). If it is of type Model_pb2 (spec), then weights_dir must also be provided, if the model has weights, since to initialize and load the model, both the proto spec and the weights are required. Proto spec for an MLProgram, unlike the NeuralNetwork, does not contain the weights, they are stored separately. If the model does not have weights, an empty weights_dir can be provided.

For non mlprogram model types, the model can be a path string (.mlmodel) or type Model_pb2, i.e. a spec object.

is_temp_package: bool

Set to True if the input model package dir is temporary and can be deleted upon interpreter termination.

mil_program: coremltools.converters.mil.Program

Set to the MIL program object, if available. It is available whenever an MLModel object is constructed using the unified converter API coremltools.convert().

skip_model_load: bool

Set to True to prevent coremltools from calling into the Core ML framework to compile and load the model. In that case, the returned model object cannot be used to make a prediction. This flag may be used to load a newer model type on an older Mac, to inspect or load/save the spec.

Example: Loading an ML Program model type on a macOS 11, since an ML Program can be compiled and loaded only from macOS12+.

Defaults to False.

compute_units: coremltools.ComputeUnit

An enum with three possible values:

• coremltools.ComputeUnit.ALL: Use all compute units available, including the neural engine.

• coremltools.ComputeUnit.CPU_ONLY: Limit the model to only use the CPU.

• coremltools.ComputeUnit.CPU_AND_GPU: Use both the CPU and GPU, but not the neural engine.

• coremltools.ComputeUnit.CPU_AND_NE: Use both the CPU and neural engine, but not the GPU. Available only for macOS >= 13.0.

weights_dir: str

Path to the weight directory, required when loading an MLModel of type mlprogram, from a spec object, i.e. when the argument model is of type Model_pb2

Notes

Internally this maintains the following:

• _MLModelProxy: A pybind wrapper around CoreML::Python::Model (see coremltools/coremlpython/CoreMLPython.mm)

• package_path (mlprogram only): Directory containing all artifacts (.mlmodel, weights, and so on).

• weights_dir (mlprogram only): Directory containing weights inside the package_path.

Examples

loaded_model = MLModel(‘my_model.mlmodel’) loaded_model = MLModel(“my_model.mlpackage”)

get_spec()

Get a deep copy of the protobuf specification of the model.

Returns:

model: Model_pb2

Protobuf specification of the model.

Examples

spec = model.get_spec()

predict(data)

Return predictions for the model.

Parameters:

data: dict[str, value]

Dictionary of data to make predictions from where the keys are the names of the input features. If value is array type, numpy.ndarray, tensorflow.Tensor and torch.Tensor are acceptable.

Returns:

dict[str, value]

Predictions as a dictionary where each key is the output feature name.

Examples

data = {‘bedroom’: 1.0, ‘bath’: 1.0, ‘size’: 1240} predictions = model.predict(data) data = {‘array’: numpy.array([[1.0, 2.0], [3.0, 4.0]])} predictions = model.predict(data) data = {‘array’: torch.Tensor([[1.0, 2.0], [3.0, 4.0]])} predictions = model.predict(data) data = {‘array’: tensorflow.Tensor([[1.0, 2.0], [3.0, 4.0]])} predictions = model.predict(data)

save(save_path: str)

Save the model to a .mlmodel format. For an MIL program, the save_path is a package directory containing the mlmodel and weights.

Parameters:

save_path: Target file path / bundle directory for the model.

Examples

model.save(‘my_model_file.mlmodel’) loaded_model = MLModel(‘my_model_file.mlmodel’)

array_feature_extractor

coremltools.models.array_feature_extractor.create_array_feature_extractor(input_features, output_name, extract_indices, output_type=None)

Creates a feature extractor from an input array (feature, return).

Parameters:

input_features:

A list of one (name, array) tuple.

extract_indices:

Either an integer or a list. If it’s an integer, the output type is by default a double (but may also be an integer). If a list, the output type is an array.

extract_submodel

coremltools.converters.mil.debugging_utils.extract_submodel(model: MLModel, outputs: List[str], inputs: Optional[List[str]] = None, function_name: str = 'main') → MLModel

This utility function lets you extract a submodel from a Core ML model.

For a NeuralNetwork model, the function extracts only in-memory Core ML models. You should always call this function to a model directly from ct.convert. It is not allowed to load the model from disk and then call this API.

For an ML program model, both cases (in-memory and from disk) are supported.

Parameters:

model: MLModel

The Core ML model from which the submodel is extracted.

outputs: list[str]

A list of names of Vars, which are the outputs of the extracted submodel.

inputs: list[str] (Optional)

A list of names of Vars, which are the inputs of the extracted submodel. If not provided, the inputs from the original model are used.

function_name: str (Optional)

Name of the function where the subgraph is extracted. Default main.

Examples

NeuralNetwork:

>>> from coremltools.converters.mil.debugging_utils import extract_submodel
>>> mlmodel = ct.convert(model, convert_to="neuralnetwork")
>>> outputs = ["output_0", "output_1"]
>>> submodel = extract_submodel(mlmodel, outputs)

ML Program:

>>> from coremltools.converters.mil.debugging_utils import extract_submodel
>>> mlmodel = ct.convert(model, convert_to="mlprogram")
>>> outputs = ["output_0", "output_1"]
>>>
>>> # Directly extract model in memory
>>> submodel = extract_submodel(mlmodel, outputs)
>>>
>>> # Extract model loaded from disk
>>> mlmodel.save("model.mlpackage")
>>> mlmodel = coremltools.model.models.MLModel("model.mlpackage")
>>> submodel = extract_submodel(mlmodel, outputs)

Feature indices in the final array are counted sequentially from the from 0 through the total number of features.

output_feature_name: str

The name of the output feature. The type is an Array List of the output features of the network.

Must be one of the following:

• "BranchOnValueLessThanEqual". Traverse to node true_child_id if input[feature_index] <= feature_value, and false_child_id otherwise.

• "BranchOnValueLessThan". Traverse to node true_child_id if input[feature_index] < feature_value, and false_child_id otherwise.

• "BranchOnValueGreaterThanEqual". Traverse to node true_child_id if input[feature_index] >= feature_value, and false_child_id otherwise.

relative_hit_rate: float [optional]

When the model is converted compiled by CoreML, this gives hints to Core ML about which node is more likely to be hit on evaluation, allowing for additional optimizations. The values can be on any scale, with the values between child nodes being compared relative to each other.

missing_value_tracks_true_child: bool [optional]

If the training data contains NaN values or missing values, then this flag determines which direction a NaN value traverses.

add_leaf_node(tree_id, node_id, values, relative_hit_rate=None)

ID of the tree to add the node to.

node_id: int

ID of the node within the tree.

values: [float | int | list | dict]

Value(s) at the leaf node to add to the prediction when this node is activated. If the prediction dimension of the tree is 1, then the value is specified as a float or integer value.

For multidimensional predictions, the values can be a list of numbers with length matching the dimension of the predictions or a dictionary mapping index to value added to that dimension.

Note that the dimension of any tree must match the dimension given when set_default_prediction_value() is called.

set_default_prediction_value(values)

Set the default prediction value(s).

The values given here form the base prediction value that the values at activated leaves are added to. If values is a scalar, then the output of the tree must also be 1 dimensional; otherwise, values must be a list with length matching the dimension of values in the tree.

Parameters:

values: [int | double | list[double]]

Default values for predictions.

set_post_evaluation_transform(value)

Set the post processing transform applied after the prediction value from the tree ensemble.

Parameters:

value: str

A value denoting the transform applied. Possible values are:

• "NoTransform" (default). Do not apply a transform.

• "Classification_SoftMax".

  Apply a softmax function to the outcome to produce normalized, non-negative scores that sum to 1. The transformation applied to dimension i is equivalent to:

  \[\frac{e^{x_i}}{\sum_j e^{x_j}}\]

  Note: This is the output transformation applied by the XGBoost package with multiclass classification.

• "Regression_Logistic".

  Applies a logistic transform the predicted value, specifically:

  \[(1 + e^{-v})^{-1}\]

  This is the transformation used in binary classification.

Evaluate a Core ML classifier model and compare against predictions from the original framework (for testing correctness of conversion). Use this evaluation for models that don’t deal with probabilities.

Parameters:

filename: list of str or list of MLModel

File from where to load the model from (OR) a loaded version of the MLModel.

data: list of str or list of Dataframe

Test data on which to evaluate the models (dataframe, or path to a csv file).

target: str

Column to interpret as the target column

verbose: bool

Set to true for a more verbose output.

data: [str | Dataframe]

Test data on which to evaluate the models (dataframe, or path to a csv file).

probabilities: str

Column to interpret as the probabilities column

verbose: bool

Verbosity levels of the predictions.

coremltools.models.utils.evaluate_regressor(model, data, target='target', verbose=False)

Parameters:

model: MLModel or str

A loaded MLModel or a path to a saved MLModel

data: Dataframe

Test data on which to evaluate the models

target: str

Name of the column in the dataframe to be compared against the prediction

coremltools.models.utils.load_spec(model_path: str) → <module 'coremltools.proto.Model_pb2' from '/Users/tonybove/opt/coremltools/coremltools/proto/Model_pb2.py'>

Load a protobuf model specification from file (mlmodel) or directory (mlpackage).

Parameters:

model_path: Path to the model from which the protobuf spec is loaded.

Returns:

model_spec: Model_pb

Protobuf representation of the model

save_spec

Examples

spec = coremltools.utils.load_spec("HousePricer.mlmodel")
spec = coremltools.utils.load_spec("HousePricer.mlpackage")

coremltools.models.utils.make_pipeline(*models)

Makes a pipeline with the given models.

Parameters:

*models

Two or more instances of ct.models.MLModel.

Returns:

ct.models.MLModel

Examples

my_model1 = ct.models.MLModel('/tmp/m1.mlpackage')
my_model2 = ct.models.MLModel('/tmp/m2.mlmodel')

coremltools.models.utils.rename_feature(spec, current_name, new_name, rename_inputs=True, rename_outputs=True)

Rename a feature in the specification.

Parameters:

spec: Model_pb

The specification containing the feature to rename.

current_name: str

Current name of the feature. If this feature doesn’t exist, the rename is a no-op.

new_name: str

New name of the feature.

rename_inputs: bool

Search for current_name only in the input features (i.e ignore output features)

rename_outputs: bool

Search for current_name only in the output features (i.e ignore input features)

Examples

# In-place rename of spec
model = MLModel("model.mlmodel")
spec = model.get_spec()
coremltools.utils.rename_feature(spec, "old_feature", "new_feature_name")
# re-initialize model
model = MLModel(spec)
model.save("model.mlmodel")

# Rename a spec when the model is an mlprogram, in that case, weights are stored outside of the spec
model = coremltools.convert(torch_model, convert_to="mlprogram")
spec = model.get_spec()
# print info about inputs and outputs
print(spec.description)
coremltools.utils.rename_feature(spec, "old_feature", "new_feature_name")
# re-initialize model
model = MLModel(spec, weights_dir=model.weights_dir)
model.save("model.mlpackage")

coremltools.models.utils.save_spec(spec, filename, auto_set_specification_version=False, weights_dir=None)

Save a protobuf model specification to file.

Parameters:

spec: Model_pb

Protobuf representation of the model

filename: str

File path where the spec gets saved.

auto_set_specification_version: bool

If true, will always try to set specification version automatically.

weights_dir: str

Path to the directory containing the weigths.bin file. This is required when the spec if of model type mlprogram. If the mlprogram does not contain any weights, this path can be an empty directory.
