The goal of this notebook is to showcase performance optimizations for the ConvE knowledge graph embeddings model using the Intel® Distribution of OpenVINO™ Toolkit. The optimizations process contains the following steps: 1. Export the trained model to a format suitable for OpenVINO optimizations and inference 2. Report the inference performance speedup obtained with the optimized OpenVINO model

The ConvE model is an implementation of the paper - “Convolutional 2D Knowledge Graph Embeddings” (https://arxiv.org/abs/1707.01476). The sample dataset can be downloaded from: https://github.com/TimDettmers/ConvE/tree/master/countries/countries_S1

Windows specific settings

# On Windows, add the directory that contains cl.exe to the PATH
# to enable PyTorch to find the required C++ tools.
# This code assumes that Visual Studio 2019 is installed in the default directory.
# If you have a different C++ compiler, please add the correct path
# to os.environ["PATH"] directly.
# Note that the C++ Redistributable is not enough to run this notebook.

# Adding the path to os.environ["LIB"] is not always required
# - it depends on the system's configuration

Evaluate the trained ConvE model

First, we will evaluate the model performance using PyTorch. The goal is to make sure there are no accuracy differences between the original model inference and the model converted to OpenVINO intermediate representation inference results. Here, we use a simple accuracy metric to evaluate the model performance on a test dataset. However, it is typical to use metrics such as Mean Reciprocal Rank, Hits@10 etc.

data = DataLoader()
num_entities = len(data.entity_ids)
num_relations = len(data.rel_ids)

model = ConvE(num_entities=num_entities, num_relations=num_relations, emb_dim=EMB_DIM)
model.load_state_dict(torch.load(modelpath))
model.eval()

pt_inf_times = []

triples_list = data.test_triples_list
num_test_samples = len(triples_list)
pt_acc = 0.0
for i in range(num_test_samples):
    test_sample = triples_list[i]
    h, r, t = test_sample
    start_time = time.time()
    logits = model.forward(e1=torch.tensor(h), rel=torch.tensor(r))
    end_time = time.time()
    pt_inf_times.append(end_time - start_time)
    score, pred = torch.topk(logits, TOP_K, 1)

    gt = np.array(sorted(t))
    pred = np.array(sorted(pred[0].cpu().detach()))
    pt_acc += accuracy_score(gt, pred)

avg_pt_time = np.mean(pt_inf_times) * 1000
print(f'Average time taken for inference: {avg_pt_time} ms')
print(f'Mean accuracy of the model on the test dataset: {pt_acc/num_test_samples}')
Average time taken for inference: 0.5890130996704102 ms
Mean accuracy of the model on the test dataset: 0.875

Prediction on the Knowledge graph.

Here, we perform the entity prediction on the knowledge graph, as a sample evaluation task. We pass the source entity ‘san_marino’ and relation ‘locatedIn’ to the knowledge graph and obtain the target entity predictions. Expected predictions are target entities that form a factual triple with the entity and relation passed as inputs to the knowledge graph.

entitynames_dict = data.ids2entities

ent = 'san_marino'
rel = 'locatedin'

h_idx = data.entity_ids[ent]
r_idx = data.rel_ids[rel]

logits = model.forward(torch.tensor(h_idx), torch.tensor(r_idx))
score, pred = torch.topk(logits, TOP_K, 1)

for j, id in enumerate(pred[0].cpu().detach().numpy()):
    pred_entity = entitynames_dict[id]
    print(f'Source Entity: {ent}, Relation: {rel}, Target entity prediction: {pred_entity}')
Source Entity: san_marino, Relation: locatedin, Target entity prediction: southern_europe
Source Entity: san_marino, Relation: locatedin, Target entity prediction: europe

Convert the trained PyTorch model to ONNX format for OpenVINO inference

To evaluate performance with OpenVINO, we can either convert the trained PyTorch model to an intermediate representation (IR) format or to an ONNX representation. This notebook uses the ONNX format. For more details on model optimization, refer to: https://docs.openvino.ai/latest/openvino_docs_MO_DG_Deep_Learning_Model_Optimizer_DevGuide.html

print('Converting the trained conve model to ONNX format')
torch.onnx.export(model, (torch.tensor(1), torch.tensor(1)),
                  fp32_onnx_path, input_names=['input.1', 'input.2'], verbose=False, opset_version=11)
Converting the trained conve model to ONNX format

Evaluate the model performance with OpenVINO

Now, we evaluate the model performance with the OpenVINO framework. In order to do so, make three main API calls: 1. Initialize the Inference engine with Core() 2. Load the model with read_model() 3. Compile the model with compile_model()

Then, the model can be inferred on by using the create_infer_request() API call.

ie = Core()
ir_net = ie.read_model(model=fp32_onnx_path)
compiled_model = ie.compile_model(model=ir_net)
input_layer_source = compiled_model.input('input.1')
input_layer_relation = compiled_model.input('input.2')
output_layer = compiled_model.output(0)

ov_acc = 0.0
ov_inf_times = []
for i in range(num_test_samples):
    test_sample = triples_list[i]
    source, relation, target = test_sample
    model_inputs = {input_layer_source: np.int64(source), input_layer_relation: np.int64(relation)}
    start_time = time.time()
    result = compiled_model(model_inputs)[output_layer]
    end_time = time.time()
    ov_inf_times.append(end_time - start_time)
    top_k_idxs = list(np.argpartition(result[0], -TOP_K)[-TOP_K:])

    gt = np.array(sorted(t))
    pred = np.array(sorted(top_k_idxs))
    ov_acc += accuracy_score(gt, pred)

avg_ov_time = np.mean(ov_inf_times) * 1000
print(f'Average time taken for inference: {avg_ov_time} ms')
print(f'Mean accuracy of the model on the test dataset: {ov_acc/num_test_samples}')
Average time taken for inference: 1.2496610482533772 ms
Mean accuracy of the model on the test dataset: 0.10416666666666667

Determine the platform specific speedup obtained through OpenVINO graph optimizations

print(f'Speedup with OpenVINO optimizations: {round(float(avg_pt_time)/float(avg_ov_time),2)} X')
Speedup with OpenVINO optimizations: 0.47 X

Benchmark the converted OpenVINO model using benchmark app

The OpenVINO toolkit provides a benchmarking application to gauge the platform specific runtime performance that can be obtained under optimal configuration parameters for a given model. For more details refer to: https://docs.openvino.ai/latest/openvino_inference_engine_tools_benchmark_tool_README.html

Here, we use the benchmark application to obtain performance estimates under optimal configuration for the knowledge graph model inference. We obtain the average (AVG), minimum (MIN) as well as maximum (MAX) latency as well as the throughput performance (in samples/s) observed while running the benchmark application. The platform specific optimal configuration parameters determined by the benchmarking app for OpenVINO inference can also be obtained by looking at the benchmark app results.

Conclusions

In this notebook, we convert the trained PyTorch knowledge graph embeddings model to the OpenVINO format. We confirm that there are no accuracy differences post conversion. We also perform a sample evaluation on the knowledge graph. Then, we determine the platform specific speedup in runtime performance that can be obtained through OpenVINO graph optimizations.
