Hi all,
I found that the calculation results of the sigmoid activation in tensorflow lite are different from the results of the function "arm_nn_activations_direct_q7" with the sigmoid flag under the same input values. I try to adjust the "int_width" argument of "arm_nn_activations_direct_q7" function from 0 to 3 but the results are still unmatched. Now, I am pretty confused. Are there additional code required such as requantizing the arm_nn_activations_direct_q7's results? I am super confused.
dddyyylll Thanks for the question. The function that you are referring to is not bit exact to TensorFlow Lite Micro(TFLM) and we do not have a TFLM compatible version for sigmoid. You can see the differences between the legacy and TFLM compatible functions in https://github.com/ARM-software/CMSIS_5/tree/develop/CMSIS/NN#legacy-vs-tfl-micro-compliant-apis.
I've created a ticket in CMSIS-NN to explicitly mark the functions that are not compatible with TFLM so it is clear. https://github.com/ARM-software/CMSIS_5/issues/1439
Hope that helps.
I found the document in the CMSIS-NN which mentions the sigmoid activation is not compatible with tensorflow lite a few days ago. But still, thanks for your reply
