Welcome to the model migration tutorial! This guide will help you understand how to transfer machine learning models between different frameworks or platforms using deep learning techniques. Whether you're moving from TensorFlow to PyTorch or deploying a model to production, these steps will simplify the process.

📌 Key Concepts

  • Model Compatibility: Ensure the target environment supports the model's architecture and dependencies.
  • Data Conversion: Use tools like ONNX to convert models between formats (e.g., TensorFlow → ONNX → PyTorch).
  • Training Continuation: If migrating for further training, sync the model's weights and optimizer state.

🚀 Steps to Migrate Models

  1. Export the Model
    Use tf.saved_model.save() (TensorFlow) or torch.save() (PyTorch) to save the model in a standard format.

  2. Convert to Intermediary Format
    Convert the model to ONNX using tools like TensorFlow-ONNX or PyTorch-ONNX.

  3. Import into Target Framework
    Load the ONNX model in the new framework and map layers/operations.

  4. Validate & Optimize
    Test the migrated model for accuracy and use TensorRT or TVM for performance optimization.

🧩 Example: TensorFlow → PyTorch

  • Export TensorFlow model: 
    tf.saved_model.save(model, "tf_model/")
  • Convert to ONNX: 
    python -m tf2onnx.convert --saved-model tf_model/ --output model.onnx
  • Load in PyTorch: 
    import torch
model = torch.jit.load("model.onnx")
