How do I find the variable names and values that are saved in a checkpoint?

Question

I want to see the variables that are saved in a TensorFlow checkpoint along with their values. How can I find the variable names that are saved in a TensorFlow checkpoint?

Answer 1

You can use the inspect_checkpoint.py tool.

So, for example, if you stored the checkpoint in the current directory, then you can print the variables and their values as follows

import tensorflow as tf
from tensorflow.python.tools.inspect_checkpoint import print_tensors_in_checkpoint_file


latest_ckp = tf.train.latest_checkpoint('./')
print_tensors_in_checkpoint_file(latest_ckp, all_tensors=True, tensor_name='')
