export working 1st commit
Refactored exporter and registry logic for better type safety and error handling. Improved input signature methods in config classes by extracting sequence length logic. Enhanced LiteRT exporter with clearer verbose handling and stricter error reporting. Registry now conditionally registers LiteRT exporter and extends export method only if dependencies are available.

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.

The _get_sequence_length method is duplicated across CausalLMExporterConfig, TextClassifierExporterConfig, Seq2SeqLMExporterConfig, and TextModelExporterConfig. To improve maintainability and reduce code duplication, this method should be moved to the base class KerasHubExporterConfig in keras_hub/src/export/base.py.

we have different kinds of models in keras-hub, some deal with text and have sequence length, while other models don't have that, so we currently can't generalize it for all models.

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.

@pctablet505 can you update the Colab to use the changes from this PR? and keep the demo short where you load a model and export it, and reload and verify numerics?

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.
