QAT output nodes for Quantized Model got the same min max range

235 views Asked by At

Recently, I have worked on quantization aware training on tf1.x to push the model to Coral Dev Board. However, when I finished training the model, why is my min max of my 2 outputs fake quantization is the same?

Should it be different when one's maximum target is 95 and one is 2pi?

same min max for quantize aware training

I have figured out the problem. It is the problem when that part of the model is not really trained QAT. This happens for the output node that somehow forgets to QAT when training. The -6 and 6 values come from the default source of the quantization of tf1.x as mention here

To overcome the problem, we should provide some op to trigger the QAT for the output nodes. In my regression case, I add a dummy op: tf.maximum(output,0) in the model to make the node QAT. If your output is strictly between 0-1, applying "sigmoid" activation at output instead of relu can also solve the problems.
