# DynamicDequantize#

DynamicDequantize operation converts a quantized (s8 or u8) tensor to a f32 tensor. It supports both per-tensor and per-channel asymmetric linear de-quantization. Rounding mode is library-implementation defined. Unlike the Dequantize, DynamicDequantize takes scales and zero-points as operator src tensors.

For per-tensor de-quantization

$dst = (src - zps)*scales$

For per-channel de-quantization, taking channel axis = 1 as an example:

$\dst_{\cdots,i,\cdots,\cdots} = (\src_{\cdots,i,\cdots,\cdots} - zps_i) * scales_i, i \in [0,channelNum-1]$

scales

zps

Optional

@note scales is a f32 1D tensor to be applied to the de-quantization formula. For qtype = per-tensor, there should be only one element in the scales tensor. For qtype = per-channel, the element number should be equal to the element number of src tensor along the dimension axis.

@note zps is a 1D tensor with offset values that map to zero. For qtype = per-tensor, there should be only one element in the zps tensor. For qtype = per-channel, the element number should be equal to the element number of input tensor along the dimension axis. If not specified, the library can assume the operator is symmetric de-quantization and perform kernel optimization accordingly.
