The added layer must be an instance of class Layer. Found:

Question

I am new to machine learning. I was following this tutorial on fine-tuning VGG16 models.

The model loaded fine with this code:

vgg_model = tensorflow.k         


        

Answer 1

This won't work because a tensorflow.keras layer is getting added to a keras Model.

vgg_model = tensorflow.keras.applications.vgg16.VGG16()
model = keras.Sequential()
model.add(vgg_model.layers[0])

Instantiate tensorflow.keras.Sequential(). This will work.

model = tensorflow.keras.Sequential()
model.add(vgg_model.layers[0])
