Benchmark ONNX conversion

Example Train and deploy a scikit-learn pipeline converts a simple model. This example takes a similar example but on random data and compares the processing time required by each option to compute predictions.

Training a pipeline

import numpy
from pandas import DataFrame
from tqdm import tqdm
from sklearn import config_context
from sklearn.datasets import make_regression
from sklearn.ensemble import (
    GradientBoostingRegressor, RandomForestRegressor,
    VotingRegressor)
from sklearn.linear_model import LinearRegression
from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
from mlprodict.onnxrt import OnnxInference
from onnxruntime import InferenceSession
from skl2onnx import to_onnx
from onnxcustom.utils import measure_time


N = 11000
X, y = make_regression(N, n_features=10)
X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(
    X, y, train_size=0.01)
print("Train shape", X_train.shape)
print("Test shape", X_test.shape)

reg1 = GradientBoostingRegressor(random_state=1)
reg2 = RandomForestRegressor(random_state=1)
reg3 = LinearRegression()
ereg = VotingRegressor([('gb', reg1), ('rf', reg2), ('lr', reg3)])
ereg.fit(X_train, y_train)

Out:

Train shape (110, 10)
Test shape (10890, 10)

VotingRegressor(estimators=[('gb', GradientBoostingRegressor(random_state=1)),
                            ('rf', RandomForestRegressor(random_state=1)),
                            ('lr', LinearRegression())])

Measure the processing time

We use function onnxcustom.utils.measure_time(). The page about assume_finite may be useful if you need to optimize the prediction. We measure the processing time per observation whether or not an observation belongs to a batch or is a single one.

sizes = [(1, 50), (10, 50), (1000, 10), (10000, 5)]

with config_context(assume_finite=True):
    obs = []
    for batch_size, repeat in tqdm(sizes):
        context = {"ereg": ereg, 'X': X_test[:batch_size]}
        mt = measure_time(
            "ereg.predict(X)", context, div_by_number=True,
            number=10, repeat=repeat)
        mt['size'] = context['X'].shape[0]
        mt['mean_obs'] = mt['average'] / mt['size']
        obs.append(mt)

df_skl = DataFrame(obs)

ONNX runtime

The same is done with the two ONNX runtime available.

    # end

ONNX runtimes are much faster than scikit-learn to predict one observation. scikit-learn is optimized for training, for batch prediction. That explains why scikit-learn and ONNX runtimes seem to converge for big batches. They use similar implementation, parallelization and languages (C++, openmp).
