Training a Keras model yields multiple optimizer errors

Question

So I need to retrain Tiny YOLO using my own dataset. The model I am using can be found here: keras-yolo3 .

I started training and I get multiple optimizer errors, added the code of the errors to stop confusion. And I noticed the training is going slow even tho it should use the GPU, and after digging a bit I found that this is not using the GPU for training. I should note that on another smaller network which I used for learning training uses GPU so everything is set correctly from that side, and they are no errors of this type when I did that training.

Is this slow and somewhat CPU training because of said errors? How can I fix this does anyone know?

Using TensorFlow backend.

Answer 1

I have found solution here: https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorrt/issues/118

You have to change lines(140/141) in yolo3/model.py:

box_xy = (K.sigmoid(feats[..., :2]) + grid) / K.cast(grid_shape[::-1], K.dtype(feats))
box_wh = K.exp(feats[..., 2:4]) * anchors_tensor / K.cast(input_shape[::-1], K.dtype(feats))

to:

box_xy = (K.sigmoid(feats[..., :2]) + grid) / K.cast(grid_shape[...,::-1], K.dtype(feats))
box_wh = K.exp(feats[..., 2:4]) * anchors_tensor / K.cast(input_shape[...,::-1], K.dtype(feats))

Also in my case helps decrease batch size from 8 to 4 .

Answer 2

It is a version issue. Please reinstall Keras and Tensorflow. Use the version 2.1.5 for Keras and 1.6.0 for Tensorflow. Please check the readme for the requirements. Additionally, consider changing the train.py file as per the fix in https://github.com/qqwweee/keras-yolo3/issues/548 . That is an issue similar to yours.
