tensorflow load data: bad marshal data

Question

I want to load FaceNet in Keras but I am getting errors. the modal facenet_keras.h5 is ready but I can't load it.

you can get facenet_keras.h5 from this link:

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1pwQ3H4aJ8a6yyJHZkTwtjcL4wYWQb7bn

My tensorflow version is:

tensorflow.__version__

'2.2.0'

and when i want to load data:

from tensorflow.keras.models import load_model
load_model('facenet_keras.h5')

get this error:

thank you.

Answer 1

The possible solutions to this error are shown below:

1. The Model might have been built and saved in Python 2.x and you might be using Python 3.x. Solution is to use the same Python Version using which the Model has been Built and Saved.

2. Use the same version of Keras (and, may be, tensorflow), on which your Model was Built and Saved.

3. The Saved Model might contain Custom Objects. If so, you need to load the Model using the code,

   new_model = tf.keras.models.load_model('model.h5', custom_objects={'CustomLayer': CustomLayer})

4. If you can recreate the architecture (i.e. you have the original code used to generate it), you can instantiate the model from that code and then use model.load_weights('your_model_file.hdf5') to load in the weights. This isn't an option if you don't have the code used to create the original architecture.

For more details, please refer this Github Issue. For more details regarding Saving and Loading the Model with Custom Objects, please refer this Tensorflow Documentation and this Stack Overflow Answer.

Answer 2

I change python version(3.10 to 3.7) and its solved for me.
