Problem:

vae = VAE()
vae.set_weights(filepath)

throws:

 File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/tensorflow/python/keras/engine/training.py", line 2200, in load_weights 'Unable to load weights saved in HDF5 format into a subclassed ' ValueError: Unable to load weights saved in HDF5 format into a subclassed Model which has not created its variables yet. Call the Model first, then load the weights.

I am not sure what this means since I am not that proficient in OOP. The surprising bit is that the above code was working until it stopped working. The model is training from scratch and it saves the weights in filepath . But when I am loading the same weights now it is throwing the above error!

Answer 1

如果您在加载模型权重之前设置model.built = True它将起作用。

Answer 2

What version of TF are you running? For a while the default saving format was hdf5, but this format cannot support subclassed models as easily, so you get this error. It may be solvable by first training it on a single batch and then loading the weights (to determine how the parts are connected, which is not saved in hdf5).

In the future I would recommend making sure that all saves are done with the TF file format though, it will save you from extra work.

Answer 3

As alwaysmvp45 pointed out "hdf5 does not store how the layers are connected". To make these layers be connected, another way is that you call the model to predict a zeros array with input shape ( (1,w,h,c) ) before loading weights:

model(np.zeros((1,w,h,c)))

Answer 4

i was getting same same error while loading weights via

model.load_weights("Detection_model.h5")

ValueError: Unable to load weights saved in HDF5 format into a subclassed Model which has not created its variables yet. Call the Model first, then load the weights.

solved it by building model before loading weights

model.build(input_shape = <INPUT_SHAPE>)
model.load_weights("Detection_model.h5")

ps, tensorflow Version: 2.5.0
