exhaustive and useful tutorial on
saved_model
-> https://www.tensorflow.org/guide/saved_modelkeras
detailed guide to save models -> https://www.tensorflow.org/guide/keras/save_and_serialize
Checkpoints capture the exact value of all parameters (tf.Variable objects) used by a model. Checkpoints do not contain any description of the computation defined by the model and thus are typically only useful when source code that will use the saved parameter values is available.
The SavedModel format on the other hand includes a serialized description of the computation defined by the model in addition to the parameter values (checkpoint). Models in this format are independent of the source code that created the model. They are thus suitable for deployment via TensorFlow Serving, TensorFlow Lite, TensorFlow.js, or programs in other programming languages (the C, C++, Java, Go, Rust, C# etc. TensorFlow APIs).

From the docs:
Save
# Create some variables.
v1 = tf.get_variable("v1", shape=[3], initializer = tf.zeros_initializer)
v2 = tf.get_variable("v2", shape=[5], initializer = tf.zeros_initializer)
inc_v1 = v1.assign(v1+1)
dec_v2 = v2.assign(v2-1)
# Add an op to initialize the variables.
init_op = tf.global_variables_initializer()
# Add ops to save and restore all the variables.
saver = tf.train.Saver()
# Later, launch the model, initialize the variables, do some work, and save the
# variables to disk.
with tf.Session() as sess:
sess.run(init_op)
# Do some work with the model.
inc_v1.op.run()
dec_v2.op.run()
# Save the variables to disk.
save_path = saver.save(sess, "/tmp/model.ckpt")
print("Model saved in path: %s" % save_path)
Restore
tf.reset_default_graph()
# Create some variables.
v1 = tf.get_variable("v1", shape=[3])
v2 = tf.get_variable("v2", shape=[5])
# Add ops to save and restore all the variables.

# Later, launch the model, use the saver to restore variables from disk, and
# do some work with the model.
with tf.Session() as sess:
# Restore variables from disk.

print("Model restored.")
# Check the values of the variables
print("v1 : %s" % v1.eval())
print("v2 : %s" % v2.eval())

API.

Standalone example
Original blog post
The following code generates random data for the sake of the demonstration.
- We start by creating the placeholders. They will hold the data at runtime. From them, we create the
Dataset
and then itsIterator
. We get the iterator's generated tensor, calledinput_tensor
which will serve as input to our model. - The model itself is built from
input_tensor
: a GRU-based bidirectional RNN followed by a dense classifier. Because why not. - The loss is a
softmax_cross_entropy_with_logits
, optimized withAdam
. After 2 epochs (of 2 batches each), we save the "trained" model withtf.saved_model.simple_save
. If you run the code as is, then the model will be saved in a folder calledsimple/
in your current working directory. - In a new graph, we then restore the saved model with
tf.saved_model.loader.load
. We grab the placeholders and logits withgraph.get_tensor_by_name
and theIterator
initializing operation withgraph.get_operation_by_name
. - Lastly we run an inference for both batches in the dataset, and check that the saved and restored model both yield the same values. They do!

tensorflow : how to save/restore trained model
You are using convert_variables_to_constants, so you are good indeed on the training side. Note for the passer-by, that API appeared in v1.0 (if I am not mistaken after tracking a bit the API).
On the load side, I think the minimum code is one command shorter. Given that you have turned all the variables into constants, there is no variable to initialize on restore. So the line:
tf.global_variables_initializer().run()
Does nothing. From the docs of v1.3:
If var_list is empty, however, the function still returns an Op that can be run. That Op just has no effect.
The load script has no global varibale, and since tf.global_variables_initializer()
is equivalent to tf.variables_initializer(tf.global_variables())
, the operation is a no-op.
Saving tensorflow model after training is finished
It seems like from the tensorflow documentation, the "session" is the thing that holds the information from the trained model. So presumably somewhere you called sess.run()
to train your model - what you want to do is call sess.save()
using THAT session, not a new one you create with this saver object.
How to save tensorflow model with best weights
Use save _best_only
argument:
model_checkpoint_callback = tf.keras.callbacks.ModelCheckpoint(
filepath=checkpoint_filepath,
save_weights_only=True,
monitor='val_accuracy',
mode='max',
save_best_only=True)
How to save trained model in tensorflow?
Simplest way to save and restore:
To save:
saver = tf.train.Saver(max_to_keep=1)
with tf.Session() as sess:
# train your model, then:
savePath = saver.save(sess, 'someDir/my_model.ckpt')
To restore:
with tf.Session() as sess:
saver = tf.train.import_meta_graph('someDir/my_model.ckpt.meta')
saver.restore(sess, pathModel + 'someDir/my_model.ckpt')
# access a variable from the saved Graph, and so on:
someVar = sess.run('varName:0')
This should do it
