Retrained inception_v3 model deployed in Cloud ML Engine always outputs the same predictions

Question

I followed the codelab TensorFlow For Poets for transfer learning using inception_v3. It generates retrained_graph.pb and retrained_labels.txt files, which can used to make

Answer 1

I believe that your error is quite simple to solve:

{ "key": "0", "image_bytes": { "b64": "jpeg_image_base64_encoded" } }

That's why you get always the same prediction.
