Deserialize (for Inference result)

The SDK provides a Jupyter Notebook to deserialize for inference result.
By running the deserialize.ipynb, you can deserialize the inference result.

Get started

1. Place schema file and serialized file

Prepare a schema file for the serialized data and a file containing the serialized data in any directory under the deserialize directory.

2. (Only at first time) Build the deserialization environment

In the VS Code TERMINAL tab, run following.

$ ./tutorials/_common/deserialize/build.sh

After a few minutes, a docker image is created for deserialization.

3. Create setting file

Place setting file (./configuration.json file) for deserialize.

• configuration.json

  {
  	"schema_file" : "",
  	"serialized_file" : "",
  	"input_type" : "json",
  	"output_dir" : "./output/"
  }

NOTE
See 4. Edit settings for details on the parameter.

4. Edit settings

Edit the parameters in configuration.json.

The parameters required to run this notebook are :

Setting	Description	Range	Required/Optional	Remarks
schema_file	Path to schema file for serialized data	Absolute path or relative path from configuration.json/Notebook (*.ipynb)	Required
serialized_file	Path to file containing the serialized data	Absolute path or relative path from configuration.json/Notebook (*.ipynb)	Required
input_type	Type of serialized_file	"binary" or "json"	Required
output_dir	Path to output directory for deserialized file (a new directory will be created if it does not exist)	Absolute path or relative path from configuration.json/Notebook (*.ipynb)	Optional	If omitted or given an empty string, set path same as configuration.json/Notebook (*.ipynb). The format of the output filename is "serialized_file without extension" + ".json".

5. Run the notebook

Open notebook and run the cells.

If successful, deserialized file will be output in output_dir.

You can run all cells at once, or you can run the cells one by one.
