Change the number of outputs by adding a parser

By default, sklearn-onnx assumes that a classifier has two outputs (label and probabilities), a regressor has one output (prediction), a transform has one output (the transformed data). What if it is not the case? The following example creates a custom converter and a custom parser which defines the number of outputs expected by the converted model.

Example A new converter with options shows a converter which selects two ways to compute the same outputs. In this one, the converter produces both. That would not be a very efficient converter but that’s just for the sake of using a parser. By default, a transformer only returns one output but both are needed.

Conversion into ONNX with two outputs

Let’s try to convert it and see what happens.

def decorrelate_transformer_shape_calculator(operator):
    op = operator.raw_operator
    input_type = operator.inputs[0].type.__class__
    input_dim = operator.inputs[0].type.shape[0]
    output_type = input_type([input_dim, op.coef_.shape[1]])
    operator.outputs[0].type = output_type


def decorrelate_transformer_converter(scope, operator, container):
    op = operator.raw_operator
    opv = container.target_opset
    out = operator.outputs

    X = operator.inputs[0]

    dtype = guess_numpy_type(X.type)

    Y1 = OnnxMatMul(
        OnnxSub(X, op.mean_.astype(dtype), op_version=opv),
        op.coef_.astype(dtype),
        op_version=opv,
        output_names=out[:1],
    )

    Y2 = OnnxGemm(
        X,
        op.coef_.astype(dtype),
        (-op.mean_ @ op.coef_).astype(dtype),
        op_version=opv,
        alpha=1.0,
        beta=1.0,
        output_names=out[1:2],
    )

    Y1.add_to(scope, container)
    Y2.add_to(scope, container)


def decorrelate_transformer_parser(scope, model, inputs, custom_parsers=None):
    alias = get_model_alias(type(model))
    this_operator = scope.declare_local_operator(alias, model)

    # inputs
    this_operator.inputs.append(inputs[0])

    # outputs
    cls_type = inputs[0].type.__class__
    val_y1 = scope.declare_local_variable("nogemm", cls_type())
    val_y2 = scope.declare_local_variable("gemm", cls_type())
    this_operator.outputs.append(val_y1)
    this_operator.outputs.append(val_y2)

    # ends
    return this_operator.outputs

The registration needs to declare the parser as well.

    DecorrelateTransformer,

    decorrelate_transformer_shape_calculator,

)

And conversion.
