Exports a tf.keras.Model
as a Tensorflow SavedModel. (deprecated)
tf.keras.experimental.export_saved_model(
model, saved_model_path, custom_objects=None, as_text=False,
input_signature=None, serving_only=False
)
Note that at this time, subclassed models can only be saved using
serving_only=True
.
The exported SavedModel
is a standalone serialization of Tensorflow objects,
and is supported by TF language APIs and the Tensorflow Serving system.
To load the model, use the function
tf.keras.experimental.load_from_saved_model
.
The SavedModel
contains:
- a checkpoint containing the model weights.
- a
SavedModel
proto containing the Tensorflow backend graph. Separate graphs are saved for prediction (serving), train, and evaluation. If the model has not been compiled, then only the graph computing predictions will be exported. - the model's json config. If the model is subclassed, this will only be
included if the model's
get_config()
method is overwritten.
Example:
import tensorflow as tf
# Create a tf.keras model.
model = tf.keras.Sequential()
model.add(tf.keras.layers.Dense(1, input_shape=[10]))
model.summary()
# Save the tf.keras model in the SavedModel format.
path = '/tmp/simple_keras_model'
tf.keras.experimental.export_saved_model(model, path)
# Load the saved keras model back.
new_model = tf.keras.experimental.load_from_saved_model(path)
new_model.summary()
Args | |
---|---|
model
|
A tf.keras.Model to be saved. If the model is subclassed, the flag
serving_only must be set to True.
|
saved_model_path
|
a string specifying the path to the SavedModel directory. |
custom_objects
|
Optional dictionary mapping string names to custom classes or functions (e.g. custom loss functions). |
as_text
|
bool, False by default. Whether to write the SavedModel proto
in text format. Currently unavailable in serving-only mode.
|
input_signature
|
A possibly nested sequence of tf.TensorSpec objects, used
to specify the expected model inputs. See tf.function for more details.
|
serving_only
|
bool, False by default. When this is true, only the
prediction graph is saved.
|
Raises | |
---|---|
NotImplementedError
|
If the model is a subclassed model, and serving_only is False. |
ValueError
|
If the input signature cannot be inferred from the model. |
AssertionError
|
If the SavedModel directory already exists and isn't empty. |
