* Merged commit includes the following changes:
311933687  by Sergio Guadarrama:

    Removes spurios use of tf.compat.v2, which results in spurious tf.compat.v1.compat.v2. Adds basic test to nasnet_utils.
    Replaces all remaining import tensorflow as tf with import tensorflow.compat.v1 as tf

--
311766063  by Sergio Guadarrama:

    Removes explicit tf.compat.v1 in all call sites (we already import tf.compat.v1, so this code was  doing tf.compat.v1.compat.v1). The existing code worked in latest version of tensorflow, 2.2, (and 1.15) but not in 1.14 or in 2.0.0a, this CL fixes it.

249878079  by Zhichao Lu:

    This CL slightly refactors some Object Detection helper functions for data creation, evaluation, and groundtruth providing.

    This will allow the eager+function custom loops to share code with the existing estimator training loops.

    Concretely we make the following changes:
    1. In input creation we separate dataset-creation into top-level helpers, and allow it to optionally accept a pre-constructed model directly instead of always creating a model from the config just for feature preprocessing.

    2. In coco evaluation we split the update_op creation into its own function, which the custom loops will call directly.

    3. In model_lib we move groundtruth providing/ datastructure munging into a helper function

    4. For now we put an escape hatch in `_summarize_target_assignment` when executing in tf v2.0 behavior because the summary apis used only work w/ tf 1.x

    This cl establishes that CropAndResize and RoIAlign are equivalent and only differ in the sampling point grid within the boxes. CropAndResize uses a uniform size x size point grid such that the corner points exactly overlap box corners, while RoiAlign divides boxes into size x size cells and uses their centers as sampling points. In this cl, we switch MatMulCropAndResize to use the MultiLevelRoIAlign implementation with `align_corner` option as MultiLevelRoIAlign implementation is more memory efficient on TPU when compared to the original MatMulCropAndResize.

    This change contains the auxiliary changes required for TF 2.0 style training with eager+functions+dist strat loops, but not the loops themselves.

    It includes:
    - Updates to shape usage to support both tensorshape v1 and tensorshape v2
    - A fix to FreezableBatchNorm to not override the `training` arg in call when `None` was passed to the constructor (Not an issue in the estimator loops but it was in the custom loops)
    - Puts some constants in init_scope so they work in eager + functions
    - Makes learning rate schedules return a callable in eager mode (required so they update when the global_step changes)
    - Makes DetectionModel a tf.module so it tracks variables (e.g. ones nested in layers)
    - Removes some references to `op.name` for some losses and replaces it w/ explicit names
    - A small part of the change to allow the coco evaluation metrics to work in eager mode

    [tf.data] Switching tf.data functions to use `defun`, providing an escape hatch to continue using the legacy `Defun`.

    There are subtle differences between the implementation of `defun` and `Defun` (such as resources handling or control flow) and it is possible that input pipelines that use control flow or resources in their functions might be affected by this change. To migrate majority of existing pipelines to the recommended way of creating functions in TF 2.0 world, while allowing (a small number of) existing pipelines to continue relying on the deprecated behavior, this CL provides an escape hatch.

    If your input pipeline is affected by this CL, it should apply the escape hatch by replacing `foo.map(...)` with `foo.map_with_legacy_function(...)`.

    Specific Edits:
    - The returned function now accepts class_predictions_with_background as its argument instead of detection_scores and detection_classes.
    - Class-specific calibration was temporarily removed, as it requires more significant refactoring. Will be added later.

    Specifically:
    - Edit calibration protos to include path to relevant label map if required for class-specific calibration. Previously, label maps were inferred from other parts of the pipeline proto; this allows all information required by the builder stay within the calibration proto and remove extraneous information from being passed with class-agnostic calibration.
    - Add class-agnostic protos to the calibration config.

    Note that the proto supports sigmoid and linear interpolation parameters, but the builder currently only supports linear interpolation.

--

220193337  by Zhichao Lu:

    This CL fixes a bug where the Keras convolutional box predictor was applying heads in the non-deterministic dict order. The consequence of this bug was that variables were created in non-deterministic orders. This in turn led different workers in a multi-gpu training setup to have slightly different graphs which had variables assigned to mismatched parameter servers. As a result, roughly half of all workers were unable to initialize and did no work, and training time was slowed down approximately 2x.

    Migrate TensorFlow Lite out of tensorflow/contrib

    This change moves //tensorflow/contrib/lite to //tensorflow/lite in preparation
    for TensorFlow 2.0's deprecation of contrib/. If you refer to TF Lite build
    targets or headers, you will need to update them manually. If you use TF Lite
    from the TensorFlow python package, "tf.contrib.lite" now points to "tf.lite".
    Please update your imports as soon as possible.

    For more details, see https://groups.google.com/a/tensorflow.org/forum/#!topic/tflite/iIIXOTOFvwQ

    @angersson and @aselle are conducting this migration. Please contact them if
    you have any further questions.

    Implement function to handle data where source_id is not set.

    If the field source_id is found to be the empty string for any image during runtime, it will be replaced with a random string. This avoids hash-collisions on dataset where many examples do not have source_id set. Those hash-collisions have unintended site effects and may lead to bugs in the detection pipeline.

--
209842134  by Zhichao Lu:

    Converting loss mask into multiplier, rather than using it as a boolean mask (which changes tensor shape). This is necessary, since other utilities (e.g. hard example miner) require a loss matrix with the same dimensions as the original prediction tensor.

208499278  by Zhichao Lu:

    This CL makes sure the Keras convolutional box predictor & head layers apply activation layers *after* normalization (as opposed to before).

--
208391694  by Zhichao Lu:

    Updating visualization tool to produce multiple evaluation images.

--
208275961  by Zhichao Lu:

    This CL adds a Keras version of the Convolutional Box Predictor, as well as more general infrastructure for making Keras Prediction heads & Keras box predictors.

--
208275585  by Zhichao Lu:

    This CL enables the Keras layer hyperparameter object to build a dedicated activation layer, and to disable activation by default in the op layer construction kwargs.

    This is necessary because in most cases the normalization layer must be applied before the activation layer. So, in Keras models we must set the convolution activation in a dedicated layer after normalization is applied, rather than setting it in the convolution layer construction args.

--
208263792  by Zhichao Lu:

    Add a new SSD mask meta arch that can predict masks for SSD models.
    Changes including:
     - overwrite loss function to add mask loss computation.

--
207960608  by Zhichao Lu:

    Internal Change.

--
207927015  by Zhichao Lu:

    Have an option to use the TPU compatible NMS op cl/206673787, in the batch_multiclass_non_max_suppression function. On setting pad_to_max_output_size to true, the output nmsed boxes are padded to be of length max_size_per_class.

    This can be used in first stage Region Proposal Network in FasterRCNN model by setting the first_stage_nms_pad_to_max_proposals field to true in config proto.

--
207809668  by Zhichao Lu:

    Add option to use depthwise separable conv instead of conv2d in FPN and WeightSharedBoxPredictor. More specifically, there are two related configs:
    - SsdFeatureExtractor.use_depthwise

PiperOrigin-RevId: 212389173

* Fix detection model zoo typo.

* Modify tf example decoder to handle label maps with either `display_name` or `name` fields seamlessly.

Currently, tf example decoder uses only `name` field to look up ids for class text field present in the data. This change uses both `display_name` and `name` fields in the label map to fetch ids for class text.

PiperOrigin-RevId: 212672223

* Modify create_coco_tf_record tool to write out class text instead of class labels.

PiperOrigin-RevId: 212679112

* Fix detection model zoo typo.

PiperOrigin-RevId: 212715692

* Adding the following two optional flags to WeightSharedConvolutionalBoxHead:
1) In the box head, apply clipping to box encodings in the box head.
2) In the class head, apply sigmoid to class predictions at inference time.

PiperOrigin-RevId: 212723242

* Support class confidences in merge boxes with multiple labels.

PiperOrigin-RevId: 212884998

* Creates multiple eval specs for object detection.

PiperOrigin-RevId: 212894556

* Set batch_norm on last layer in Mask Head to None.

PiperOrigin-RevId: 213030087

* Enable bfloat16 training for object detection models.

PiperOrigin-RevId: 213053547

* Skip padding op when unnecessary.

PiperOrigin-RevId: 213065869

* Modify `Matchers` to use groundtruth weights before performing matching.

Groundtruth weights tensor is used to indicate padding in groundtruth box tensor. It is handled in `TargetAssigner` by creating appropriate classification and regression target weights based on the groundtruth box each anchor matches to. However, options such as `force_match_all_rows` in `ArgmaxMatcher` force certain anchors to match to groundtruth boxes that are just paddings thereby reducing the number of anchors that could otherwise match to real groundtruth boxes.

For single stage models like SSD the effect of this is negligible as there are two orders of magnitude more anchors than the number of padded groundtruth boxes. But for Faster R-CNN and Mask R-CNN where there are only 300 anchors in the second stage, a significant number of these match to groundtruth paddings reducing the number of anchors regressing to real groundtruth boxes degrading the performance severely.

Therefore, this change introduces an additional boolean argument `valid_rows` to `Matcher.match` methods and the implementations now ignore such padded groudtruth boxes during matching.
