python - I trained a keras model on google colab. Now not able to load it locally on my system.

Question

with open('2model.json','r') as f:
json = f.read()
model = model_from_json(json)
model.load_weights("color_tensorflow_real_mode.h5")

I trained a keras model on google colab. Now not able to load it locally on my system. Getting this error: ValueError: Unknown initializer: GlorotUniform

How to solve this?? Every time I make a model on colab and try loading it locally I am unable to do so. Getting this error message:

Stackoverflow is asking me to add details while I have none to add. Or I am not sure what to add. Please help.

Answer 1

1. Make sure you have the newest version of Keras and tensorflow (which are 2.4.4 and 1.11.0) by running either pip install keras tensorflow or conda install keras tensorflow.

2. In case it is Google Colab that uses deprecated objects, you may need to use custom objects:

from keras.utils import CustomObjectScope
from keras.initializers import glorot_uniform

with CustomObjectScope({'GlorotUniform': glorot_uniform()}):
    model = load_model('my_model.h5')

Not sure if this is your case though.
