Fixes #21637

Summary

Currently, when exporting a Keras model with the Torch backend to ONNX, the provided InputSpec.name is ignored. Instead, inputs are saved as generic names such as args_0, which makes exported models harder to use and integrate with downstream pipelines.

This PR updates the Torch backend export logic to properly propagate InputSpec.name into torch.onnx.export via the input_names argument. If a name is not provided, it gracefully falls back to the existing default (input_i).

Example

Example

spec = [keras.InputSpec(name="input", shape=(1, 10, 16), dtype="float32")]
model.export("test.onnx", format="onnx", input_signature=spec)

Before:
ONNX model input name → args_0

After:
ONNX model input name → input

Please let me know what else is needed on this..

Summary of Changes

Hello @Flakes342, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request addresses a critical usability issue in the Keras Torch backend's ONNX export functionality. Previously, exported models would have generic input names, making integration with downstream tools challenging. The changes ensure that user-defined input names from InputSpec are respected during the ONNX export, significantly improving the clarity and interoperability of exported models.

Highlights

  • ONNX Export Input Naming Fix: Resolved an issue where the Torch backend's ONNX export process ignored InputSpec.name, leading to generic input names like args_0 in the exported model. Now, InputSpec.name is properly propagated.
  • Fallback Naming Convention: Implemented a graceful fallback mechanism: if an InputSpec.name is not explicitly provided, the input will be named input_i (where i is the input index), ensuring consistent and readable input names.

Code Review

This pull request addresses an issue with ONNX export for the Torch backend where InputSpec.name was not being respected. The changes correctly extract the input names from the input_signature and pass them to torch.onnx.export. The fix is well-implemented and covers both the primary and fallback export paths. I have one suggestion to refactor the name extraction logic to be more concise and robust.
