Summary of Changes

Hello @pctablet505, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request introduces a comprehensive and extensible framework for exporting Keras-Hub models to various formats, with an initial focus on LiteRT. The system is designed to seamlessly integrate with Keras-Hub's model architecture, particularly by addressing the unique challenge of handling dictionary-based model inputs during the export process. This enhancement significantly improves the deployability of Keras-Hub models by providing a standardized and robust export pipeline, alongside crucial compatibility fixes for TensorFlow's SavedModel/TFLite export mechanisms.

Highlights

  • New Model Export Framework: Introduced a new, extensible framework for exporting Keras-Hub models, designed to support various formats and model types.
  • LiteRT Export Support: Added specific support for exporting Keras-Hub models to the LiteRT format, verified for models like gemma3, llama3.2, and gpt2.
  • Registry-Based Configuration: Implemented an ExporterRegistry to manage and retrieve appropriate exporter configurations and exporters based on model type and target format.
  • Input Handling for Keras-Hub Models: Developed a KerasHubModelWrapper to seamlessly convert Keras-Hub's dictionary-based inputs to the list-based inputs expected by the underlying Keras LiteRT exporter.
  • TensorFlow Export Compatibility: Added compatibility shims (_get_save_spec and _trackable_children) to Keras-Hub Backbone models to ensure proper functioning with TensorFlow's SavedModel and TFLite export utilities.
  • Automated Export Method Extension: The Task class in Keras-Hub models is now automatically extended with an export method, simplifying the model export process for users.

Code Review

This pull request introduces a significant new feature: model exporting to liteRT. The implementation is well-structured, using a modular and extensible registry pattern. However, there are several areas that require attention. The most critical issue is the complete absence of tests for the new export functionality, which is a direct violation of the repository's style guide stating that testing is non-negotiable. Additionally, I've identified a critical bug in the error handling logic within the lite_rt.py exporter that includes unreachable code. There are also several violations of the style guide regarding the use of type hints in function signatures across all new files. I've provided specific comments and suggestions to address these points, which should help improve the robustness, maintainability, and compliance of this new feature.

Introduces the keras_hub.api.export submodule and updates the main API to expose it. The new export module imports various exporter configs and functions from the internal export package, making them available through the public API.
Added ImageClassifierExporterConfig, ImageSegmenterExporterConfig, and ObjectDetectorExporterConfig to the export API. Improved input shape inference and dummy input generation for image-related exporter configs. Refactored LiteRTExporter to better handle model type checks and input signature logic, with improved error handling for input mapping.
Moved the 'import keras' statement to the top of the module and removed redundant local imports within class methods. This improves code clarity and avoids repeated imports.
Deleted the debug_object_detection.py script, which was used for testing object detection model outputs and export issues. This cleanup removes unused debugging code from the repository.
Renames all references of 'LiteRT' to 'Litert' across the codebase, including file names, class names, and function names. Updates exporter registry and API imports to use the new 'litert' naming. Also improves image model exporter configs to dynamically determine input dtype from the model, enhancing flexibility for different input types. Adds support for ImageSegmenter model type detection in the exporter registry.
Refactored InputSpec definitions in exporter configs for improved readability by placing each argument on a separate line. Updated import path in litert.py to import from keras.src.export.litert instead of keras.src.export.litert_exporter.

Also if you have addressed the Gemini comments, please respond on it. Is this PR dependent on the PR in Keras repo? - keras-team/keras#21674

Simplifies and unifies input signature and dummy input generation for text and image models by removing redundant helper methods and centralizing logic. Updates model building in KerasHubExporter to use input signatures and improves error handling. Refactors LiteRT exporter to use the new parameterized input signature and model building approach, reducing code duplication and improving maintainability.
Removed redundant registry initialization in export_model and clarified model building comments in KerasHubExporter. Switched to using warnings.warn for import errors in models/__init__.py instead of print statements for better error reporting.

Code Review

This is a significant and valuable addition to KerasHub, enabling model exportation to LiteRT. The overall structure is well-designed, following a modular and extensible pattern similar to Hugging Face's Optimum.

I've reviewed this pull request, focusing on correctness, maintainability, and adherence to the repository's style guide. The style guide was instrumental in this review, particularly the sections on Testing and Validation (lines 401-496) and Docstrings and Type Hinting (lines 364-398).

My main findings are:

  • Critical Issue: Missing Tests

    • The pull request introduces substantial new functionality for model exporting across several new files (base.py, configs.py, litert.py, registry.py), but it lacks corresponding tests.
    • The repository style guide is explicit that "Testing is a non-negotiable part of every contribution" (line 403) and "Every .py file containing logic...must have a corresponding _test.py file" (line 406).
    • Please add comprehensive unit tests for the new export logic, covering different model types, configurations, and edge cases. This is crucial to ensure the robustness and correctness of this feature.
  • Other Findings

    • I've also left several inline comments regarding a bug in model type detection, incorrect dtype handling, and violations of the docstring style guide. Please address these to improve code quality and consistency.

Refined dtype extraction logic in image and object model exporter configs to better handle different dtype representations. Updated LiteRT exporter to use Keras io_utils for progress messages and improved verbose flag handling. Added ObjectDetector and ImageSegmenter to export registry model type checks. Enhanced docstrings for clarity and consistency in base exporter classes.

Code Review

This pull request introduces a significant new feature: support for exporting Keras-Hub models to the LiteRT format. The implementation is well-designed and modular, with base classes for exporters and configurations, a registry for discoverability, and a specific LiteRTExporter. The feature is nicely integrated by extending the export method on Task models, providing a seamless user experience. The accompanying tests are thorough, covering unit tests with mocks and crucial integration tests with production models that include numerical verification. I have identified a couple of minor issues: one related to redundant code in an __init__.py file and another concerning a misleading docstring. These are straightforward to address. Overall, this is a high-quality contribution that adds valuable functionality.

Corrected the docstring in _is_model_compatible to refer to text classifier instead of image classifier.

we can not run the test for all models on keras-hub, some are in multiple gigabytes, and that would require too much memory that won't be available. the system with 50GB crashes for 7b models.

Refactored LiteRT export tests to use a standardized helper method for model export and numerical accuracy verification, reducing code duplication and improving maintainability. Removed direct file and interpreter management in favor of a unified approach, tightened numerical accuracy thresholds, and ensured proper resource cleanup. Updated test cases to dynamically determine input shapes and handle model-specific requirements, improving robustness and reliability of export validation.
Adds support for specifying per-output numerical thresholds and input ranges in LiteRT export tests. Refactors test utilities to handle output mapping, threshold configuration, and input preparation for improved accuracy and flexibility across model types.

Code Review

This is an excellent and comprehensive pull request that adds a much-needed model export functionality to LiteRT. The design is well-thought-out, using a registry and adapter pattern to handle various model architectures and their specific requirements. The code is well-structured and accompanied by extensive tests, including unit, integration, and end-to-end tests with production models. The detailed design document is also a great addition. I have one suggestion to improve the code by replacing a private TensorFlow API with a public one.

Replaces class-based test cases with pytest parameterized functions for CausalLM, ImageClassifier, ObjectDetector, and ImageSegmenter LiteRT export tests. This improves test readability, reduces code duplication, and ensures each model configuration is tested independently with clearer output. Cleans up helper methods and consolidates numerical verification logic.

Code Review

This pull request introduces a comprehensive framework for exporting Keras-Hub models to the LiteRT format. The changes are well-structured, introducing base classes for exporters and configurations, a registry for extensibility, and specific implementations for various model types (CausalLM, ImageClassifiers, etc.). The integration is handled cleanly by extending the Task class's export method. The pull request also includes extensive tests, from unit tests for the new components to end-to-end numerical verification with production models, which is excellent. I've included a couple of suggestions to improve the maintainability and robustness of the new testing utilities and export registry.

Removed the export registry and related initialization logic, replacing it with a direct model type detection via `get_exporter_config`. The `Task` class now provides its own `export` method for specialized Keras-Hub model export, supporting dictionary inputs and LiteRT export. Cleaned up imports and removed registry-related tests and files.

Code Review

This pull request introduces a significant new feature: exporting Keras-Hub models to the LiteRT format. The implementation is well-structured, following an exporter pattern with base classes, model-specific configurations, and a dedicated LiteRT exporter. The use of adapter classes to handle Keras-Hub's dictionary-based inputs is a clever solution. The changes are accompanied by a comprehensive suite of tests, including unit tests, integration tests, and end-to-end numerical verification for a wide range of production models, which is excellent. The addition of run_litert_export_test to the base TestCase will be very valuable for future contributions. Overall, this is a high-quality contribution that greatly enhances the utility of Keras-Hub. I have found one critical issue in the convenience function export_litert that needs to be addressed.

Updates LiteRT exporter and related configs to support dynamic input shapes by default for text and image models, allowing runtime resizing via TFLite's interpreter.resize_tensor_input(). Removes static sequence length inference, adapts input signature logic, and updates tests to verify dynamic shape support and runtime resizing. Also improves multimodal model handling and input mapping for TFLite export.
Adds tests to verify that SignatureDef preserves input names for ImageClassifier and CausalLM models. Refactors test utilities to use SignatureDef for input/output mapping, ensuring meaningful names and robust output verification. Updates numerical accuracy checks to compare outputs by name using SignatureDef, and adds validation for expected input/output names in exported models.
Consolidates LiteRT input preparation, inference, and output verification into clearer helper methods. Improves handling of dynamic shapes, input/output name matching via SignatureDef, and output comparison logic. Updates docstrings and argument names for consistency and readability.

bug fix in inference:
- there was a bug, that used corrupted the results of invoke, during getting the SignatureDef fixed it.
Updated test utilities to use TFLite's signature runner for inference, simplifying input handling and output extraction. Also updated model creation in numerical accuracy tests to use explicit Input layers for clarity and consistency.

Code Review

This pull request introduces a robust and well-tested feature for exporting Keras-Hub models to the LiteRT format. The implementation is well-structured, with clear separation of concerns into base classes, model-specific configurations, and the exporter itself. The addition of an export() method to the Task class provides a convenient user-facing API. The necessary compatibility shims for TensorFlow export are well-documented, including warnings about private API usage. The test coverage is excellent, including both unit tests with mocks and end-to-end tests with real model presets, which ensures the reliability of this new feature. My feedback includes a few minor suggestions to improve code clarity and maintainability in the API and task modules.
