  1. Inconsistent inference results with Inference.infer under different batch sizes.
  2. Small inference difference between trainer.test and Inference.infer.

Experiments are run with DeepSpeech2 on Paddle.

We concluded with the following two reasons which might have caused the inconsistency:

  1. Due to the different padding sizes with different batch sizes. (It is verified by inspecting the output data.)
  2. Due to the different float point precision: trainer.test computes the average loss under float32 within c++ codes, while inference.infer does the averaging under float64 in Python codes.
