Tensorflow classifier.export_savedmodel (Beginner)

Question

I know about the \"Serving a Tensorflow Model\" page

https://www.tensorflow.org/serving/serving_basic

but those functions assume you\'re using tf.Session() w

Answer 1

If you try to use predictor with tensorflow > 1.6 you can get this Error :

signature_def_key "serving_default". Available signatures are ['predict']. Original error:
No SignatureDef with key 'serving_default' found in MetaGraphDef.

Here is working example which is tested on 1.7.0 :

SAVING :

First you need to define features length in dict format like this:

feature_spec = {'x': tf.FixedLenFeature([4],tf.float32)}

Then you have to build a function which have placeholder with same shape of features and return using tf.estimator.export.ServingInputReceiver

def serving_input_receiver_fn():
    serialized_tf_example = tf.placeholder(dtype=tf.string,
                                         shape=[None],
                                         name='input_tensors')
    receiver_tensors = {'inputs': serialized_tf_example}

    features = tf.parse_example(serialized_tf_example, feature_spec)
    return tf.estimator.export.ServingInputReceiver(features, receiver_tensors)

Then just save with export_savedmodel :

classifier.export_savedmodel(dir_path, serving_input_receiver_fn)

full example code:

import os
from six.moves.urllib.request import urlopen

import numpy as np
import tensorflow as tf


dir_path = os.path.dirname('.')

IRIS_TRAINING = os.path.join(dir_path,  "iris_training.csv")
IRIS_TEST = os.path.join(dir_path,   "iris_test.csv") 

feature_spec = {'x': tf.FixedLenFeature([4],tf.float32)}

def serving_input_receiver_fn():
    serialized_tf_example = tf.placeholder(dtype=tf.string,
                                         shape=[None],
                                         name='input_tensors')
    receiver_tensors = {'inputs': serialized_tf_example}

    features = tf.parse_example(serialized_tf_example, feature_spec)
    return tf.estimator.export.ServingInputReceiver(features, receiver_tensors)




def main():
    training_set = tf.contrib.learn.datasets.base.load_csv_with_header(
        filename=IRIS_TRAINING,
        target_dtype=np.int,
        features_dtype=np.float32)
    test_set = tf.contrib.learn.datasets.base.load_csv_with_header(
        filename=IRIS_TEST,
        target_dtype=np.int,
        features_dtype=np.float32)

    feature_columns = [tf.feature_column.numeric_column("x", shape=[4])]


    classifier = tf.estimator.DNNClassifier(feature_columns=feature_columns,
                                          hidden_units=[10, 20, 10],
                                          n_classes=3,
                                          model_dir=dir_path)
  # Define the training inputs
    train_input_fn = tf.estimator.inputs.numpy_input_fn(
      x={"x": np.array(training_set.data)},
      y=np.array(training_set.target),
      num_epochs=None,
      shuffle=True)

  # Train model.
    classifier.train(input_fn=train_input_fn, steps=200)


    classifier.export_savedmodel(dir_path, serving_input_receiver_fn)


if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

Restoring

Now let's restore the model :

import tensorflow as tf 
import os

dir_path = os.path.dirname('.') #current directory
exported_path= os.path.join(dir_path,  "1536315752")

def main():
    with tf.Session() as sess:

        tf.saved_model.loader.load(sess, [tf.saved_model.tag_constants.SERVING], exported_path)

        model_input= tf.train.Example(features=tf.train.Features(feature={
                'x': tf.train.Feature(float_list=tf.train.FloatList(value=[6.4, 3.2, 4.5, 1.5]))        
                })) 

        predictor= tf.contrib.predictor.from_saved_model(exported_path)

        input_tensor=tf.get_default_graph().get_tensor_by_name("input_tensors:0")

        model_input=model_input.SerializeToString()

        output_dict= predictor({"inputs":[model_input]})

        print(" prediction is " , output_dict['scores'])


if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()
