# dlmodel\_source(1)

create a structured deep learning model directory

## NAME

dlmodel\_source - create a structured deep learning model directory

## SYNOPSIS

**dlmodel\_source**

## DESCRIPTION

**dlmodel\_source** helps to create a structured deep learning (DL) model directory via CLI. Please refer to the specification section below for more details.

The structured directory will be created in /tmp.

Questions for collecting model information:

- Package name

  The name of the DL package, e.g. inception.

- Package version

  The version of the DL package, e.g. 3.

- Modle filepath

  Absolute or relative path of the model file.

- Label filepath

  Absolute or relative path of the label file.

- Config name

  Name of the config data source (see config filepath below). If there is not any config, leave it blank.

- Config filepath

  Absolute or relative path of the config file.

- Inference engine

  The inference engine supporting the DL model's format.

## MODEL DIRECTORY STRUCTURE

Example of a structured DL model directory:

```
    <modelname-version>
    |-- <model-file>
    |-- <label-file>
    |-- <optional-config-files>
    |-- LICENSE    # optional currently
    `-- meta.json
```

## METADATA FORMAT OF MODEL PACKAGE

Metadata, meta.json, describes all the details in the structured model directory.

Example of meta.json

```
    # Note: model directory name is fight-detection-1.0.0
    {
        "name": "fight-detection",
        "version": "1.0.0",
        "inference-engine": "tensorflow",
        "model": "model.pb",
        "label": "labels.txt",
        # optional configs
        "config": {
            "<optional-key>": "<optional-value>",
            "<optional-key>": "<optional-value>",
            ...
        },
        "checksums-sha256": {
            "model.pb": "<sha256sum>",
            "labels.txt": "<sha256sum>",
            "<optional-file-path>": "<sha256sum>",
            ...
        }
    }
```
