Question

I'm trying to load model weights from an hdf5 file to evaluate on my test set. When I try and load the weights, I get the following error:

"Unable to open object (file read failed: time = Sat Jan 9 18:02:20 2021\n, filename = '/content/drive/My Drive/Training Checkpoints/training_vgg16/Augmented/01-1.6986_preprocessed_unfrozen.hdf5', file descriptor = 203, errno = 5, error message = 'Input/output error', buf = 0x2d4ae840, total read size = 328, bytes this sub-read = 328, bytes actually read = 18446744073709551615, offset = 134448512)"

And the code I'm using is below:

weights_path = '/content/drive/My Drive/Training Checkpoints/training_vgg16/Augmented/'

for weight in os.listdir(weights_path):
    print(weight)
    weight_path = weights_path + weight
    model.load_weights(weight_path)
    evaluate_model()

The same process was working fine yesterday, but today I'm getting this error. Any help would be very much appreciated!

EDIT: after restarting the Colab runtime and rerunning this is the error stack trace I get:

KeyError                                  Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-51-0c9304b73f08> in <module>()
      7     print(weight)
      8     weight_path = weights_path + weight
----> 9     model.load_weights(weight_path)
     10     evaluate_model()

Turns out, although using load_weights worked before, I was actually saving the entire model, and for some of the saved.hdf5 files it didn't work. Changing to using load_model loads all of them correctly.
