Unable to train tensorflow 2 model in Colab

Question

I have this issue and i am using tensorflow 2 in google colab and i believe the error has something to do with path in the config file. I have used "./" and "//" and i also gave full path but i am unable to get rid of this error.

tensorflow.python.framework.errors_impl.NotFoundError: Unsuccessful TensorSliceReader constructor: Failed to find any matching files for /content/models/research/object_detection/centernet_resnet50_v1_fpn_512x512_coco17_tpu-8/model.ckpt

I have modified the config file

# CenterNet meta-architecture from the "Objects as Points" [1] paper
# with the ResNet-v2-101 backbone. The ResNet backbone has a few differences
# as compared to the one mentioned in the paper, hence the performance is
# slightly worse. This config is TPU comptatible.

Answer 1

Issue was with the model, i have used a different model with it's config pipeline file and it works.
