## Introduction

A Keras model consists of multiple components:

- The architecture, or configuration, which specifies what layers the model
contain, and how they're connected.
- A set of weights values (the "state of the model").
- An optimizer (defined by compiling the model).
- A set of losses and metrics (defined by compiling the model or calling
`add_loss()` or `add_metric()`).

The Keras API makes it possible to save all of these pieces to disk at once,
or to only selectively save some of them:

- Saving everything into a single archive in the TensorFlow SavedModel format
(or in the older Keras H5 format). This is the standard practice.
- Saving the architecture / configuration only, typically as a JSON file.
- Saving the weights values only. This is generally used when training the model.

Let's take a look at each of these options. When would you use one or the other,
and how do they work?
"""

## How to save and load a model

If you only have 10 seconds to read this guide, here's what you need to know.

**Saving a Keras model:**

```python
model = ...  # Get model (Sequential, Functional Model, or Model subclass)
model.save('path/to/location')
```

**Loading the model back:**

```python
from tensorflow import keras
model = keras.models.load_model('path/to/location')
```

Now, let's look at the details.
"""

"""
## Setup
"""

import numpy as np
import tensorflow as tf
from tensorflow import keras

"""
## Whole-model saving & loading

You can save an entire model to a single artifact. It will include:

- The model's architecture/config
- The model's weight values (which were learned during training)
- The model's compilation information (if `compile()`) was called
- The optimizer and its state, if any (this enables you to restart training
where you left)

#### APIs

- `model.save()` or `tf.keras.models.save_model()`
- `tf.keras.models.load_model()`

There are two formats you can use to save an entire model to disk:
**the TensorFlow SavedModel format**, and the older Keras **H5 format**.
The recommended format is SavedModel. It is the default when you use `model.save()`.

You can switch to the H5 format by:

- Passing `save_format='h5'` to `save()`.
- Passing a filename that ends in `.h5` or `.keras` to `save()`.
"""

"""
### SavedModel format

SavedModel is the more comprehensive save format that saves the model architecture,
weights, and the traced Tensorflow subgraphs of the call functions. This enables
Keras to restore both built-in layers as well as custom objects.

**Example:**
"""


def get_model():
    # Create a simple model.
    inputs = keras.Input(shape=(32,))
    outputs = keras.layers.Dense(1)(inputs)
    model = keras.Model(inputs, outputs)
    model.compile(optimizer="adam", loss="mean_squared_error")
    return model


model = get_model()

# Train the model.
test_input = np.random.random((128, 32))
test_target = np.random.random((128, 1))
model.fit(test_input, test_target)

# Calling `save('my_model')` creates a SavedModel folder `my_model`.
model.save("my_model")

# It can be used to reconstruct the model identically.
reconstructed_model = keras.models.load_model("my_model")

# Let's check:
np.testing.assert_allclose(
    model.predict(test_input), reconstructed_model.predict(test_input)
)

# The reconstructed model is already compiled and has retained the optimizer
# state, so training can resume:
reconstructed_model.fit(test_input, test_target)

"""
#### What the SavedModel contains

Calling `model.save('my_model')` creates a folder named `my_model`,
containing the following:
"""

"""shell
ls my_model
"""

"""
The model architecture, and training configuration
(including the optimizer, losses, and metrics) are stored in `saved_model.pb`.
The weights are saved in the `variables/` directory.

For detailed information on the SavedModel format, see the
[SavedModel guide (*The SavedModel format on disk*)](
  https://www.tensorflow.org/guide/saved_model#the_savedmodel_format_on_disk).


#### How SavedModel handles custom objects

When saving the model and its layers, the SavedModel format stores the
class name, **call function**, losses, and weights (and the config, if implemented).
The call function defines the computation graph of the model/layer.

In the absence of the model/layer config, the call function is used to create
a model that exists like the original model which can be trained, evaluated,
and used for inference.

Nevertheless, it is always a good practice to define the `get_config`
and `from_config` methods when writing a custom model or layer class.
This allows you to easily update the computation later if needed.
See the section about [Custom objects](#custom-objects)
for more information.

Example:
"""


class CustomModel(keras.Model):
    def __init__(self, hidden_units):
        super(CustomModel, self).__init__()
        self.hidden_units = hidden_units
        self.dense_layers = [keras.layers.Dense(u) for u in hidden_units]

    def call(self, inputs):
        x = inputs
        for layer in self.dense_layers:
            x = layer(x)
        return x

    def get_config(self):
      return {"hidden_units": self.hidden_units}

    @classmethod
    def from_config(cls, config):
      return cls(**config)

model = CustomModel([16, 16, 10])
# Build the model by calling it
input_arr = tf.random.uniform((1, 5))
outputs = model(input_arr)
model.save("my_model")

# Option 1: Load with the custom_object argument.
loaded_1 = keras.models.load_model(
    "my_model", custom_objects={"CustomModel": CustomModel})

# Option 2: Load without the CustomModel class.

# Delete the custom-defined model class to ensure that the loader does not have
# access to it.
del CustomModel

loaded_2 = keras.models.load_model("my_model")
np.testing.assert_allclose(loaded_1(input_arr), outputs)
np.testing.assert_allclose(loaded_2(input_arr), outputs)

print("Original model:", model)
print("Model Loaded with custom objects:", loaded_1)
print("Model loaded without the custom object class:", loaded_2)


"""
The first loaded model is loaded using the config and `CustomModel` class. The second
model is loaded by dynamically creating the model class that acts like the original model.
"""


"""
#### Configuring the SavedModel

*New in TensoFlow 2.4*
The argument `save_traces` has been added to `model.save`, which allows you to toggle
SavedModel function tracing. Functions are saved to allow the Keras to re-load custom
objects without the original class definitons, so when `save_traces=False`, all custom
objects must have defined `get_config`/`from_config` methods. When loading, the custom
objects must be passed to the `custom_objects` argument. `save_traces=False` reduces the
disk space used by the SavedModel and saving time.
"""

"""
### Keras H5 format

Keras also supports saving a single HDF5 file containing the model's architecture,
weights values, and `compile()` information.
It is a light-weight alternative to SavedModel.

**Example:**
"""

model = get_model()

# Train the model.
test_input = np.random.random((128, 32))
test_target = np.random.random((128, 1))
model.fit(test_input, test_target)

# Calling `save('my_model.h5')` creates a h5 file `my_model.h5`.
model.save("my_h5_model.h5")

# It can be used to reconstruct the model identically.
reconstructed_model = keras.models.load_model("my_h5_model.h5")

# Let's check:
np.testing.assert_allclose(
    model.predict(test_input), reconstructed_model.predict(test_input)
)

# The reconstructed model is already compiled and has retained the optimizer
# state, so training can resume:
reconstructed_model.fit(test_input, test_target)

"""

#### Limitations

Compared to the SavedModel format, there are two things that don't
get included in the H5 file:

- **External losses & metrics** added via `model.add_loss()`
& `model.add_metric()` are not saved (unlike SavedModel).
If you have such losses & metrics on your model and you want to resume training,
you need to add these losses back yourself after loading the model.
Note that this does not apply to losses/metrics created *inside* layers via
`self.add_loss()` & `self.add_metric()`. As long as the layer gets loaded,
these losses & metrics are kept, since they are part of the `call` method of the layer.
- The **computation graph of custom objects** such as custom layers
is not included in the saved file. At loading time, Keras will need access
to the Python classes/functions of these objects in order to reconstruct the model.
See [Custom objects](#custom-objects).


"""

"""
## Saving the architecture

The model's configuration (or architecture) specifies what layers the model
contains, and how these layers are connected*. If you have the configuration of a model,
then the model can be created with a freshly initialized state for the weights
and no compilation information.

*Note this only applies to models defined using the functional or Sequential apis
 not subclassed models.
"""

"""
### Configuration of a Sequential model or Functional API model

These types of models are explicit graphs of layers: their configuration
is always available in a structured form.

#### APIs

- `get_config()` and `from_config()`
- `tf.keras.models.model_to_json()` and `tf.keras.models.model_from_json()`
"""

"""
#### `get_config()` and `from_config()`

Calling `config = model.get_config()` will return a Python dict containing
the configuration of the model. The same model can then be reconstructed via
`Sequential.from_config(config)` (for a `Sequential` model) or
`Model.from_config(config)` (for a Functional API model).

The same workflow also works for any serializable layer.

**Layer example:**
"""

layer = keras.layers.Dense(3, activation="relu")
layer_config = layer.get_config()
new_layer = keras.layers.Dense.from_config(layer_config)

"""
**Sequential model example:**
"""

model = keras.Sequential([keras.Input((32,)), keras.layers.Dense(1)])
config = model.get_config()
new_model = keras.Sequential.from_config(config)

"""
**Functional model example:**
"""

inputs = keras.Input((32,))
outputs = keras.layers.Dense(1)(inputs)
model = keras.Model(inputs, outputs)
config = model.get_config()
new_model = keras.Model.from_config(config)

"""
#### `to_json()` and `tf.keras.models.model_from_json()`

This is similar to `get_config` / `from_config`, except it turns the model
into a JSON string, which can then be loaded without the original model class.
It is also specific to models, it isn't meant for layers.

**Example:**
"""

model = keras.Sequential([keras.Input((32,)), keras.layers.Dense(1)])
json_config = model.to_json()
new_model = keras.models.model_from_json(json_config)

"""
### Custom objects

**Models and layers**

The architecture of subclassed models and layers are defined in the methods
`__init__` and `call`. They are considered Python bytecode,
which cannot be serialized into a JSON-compatible config
-- you could try serializing the bytecode (e.g. via `pickle`),
but it's completely unsafe and means your model cannot be loaded on a different system.

In order to save/load a model with custom-defined layers, or a subclassed model,
you should overwrite the `get_config` and optionally `from_config` methods.
Additionally, you should use register the custom object so that Keras is aware of it.

**Custom functions**

Custom-defined functions (e.g. activation loss or initialization) do not need
a `get_config` method. The function name is sufficient for loading as long
as it is registered as a custom object.

**Loading the TensorFlow graph only**

It's possible to load the TensorFlow graph generated by the Keras. If you
do so, you won't need to provide any `custom_objects`. You can do so like
this:
"""

model.save("my_model")
tensorflow_graph = tf.saved_model.load("my_model")
x = np.random.uniform(size=(4, 32)).astype(np.float32)
predicted = tensorflow_graph(x).numpy()

"""
Note that this method has several drawbacks:
* For traceability reasons, you should always have access to the custom
objects that were used. You wouldn't want to put in production a model
that you cannot re-create.
* The object returned by `tf.saved_model.load` isn't a Keras model. So it's
not as easy to use. For example, you won't have access to `.predict()` or `.fit()`

Even if its use is discouraged, it can help you if you're in a tight spot,
for example, if you lost the code of your custom objects or have issues
loading the model with `tf.keras.models.load_model()`.

You can find out more in
the [page about `tf.saved_model.load`](https://www.tensorflow.org/api_docs/python/tf/saved_model/load)
"""


"""
#### Defining the config methods

Specifications:

* `get_config` should return a JSON-serializable dictionary in order to be
compatible with the Keras architecture- and model-saving APIs.
* `from_config(config)` (`classmethod`) should return a new layer or model
object that is created from the config.
The default implementation returns `cls(**config)`.

**Example:**
"""


class CustomLayer(keras.layers.Layer):
    def __init__(self, a):
        self.var = tf.Variable(a, name="var_a")

    def call(self, inputs, training=False):
        if training:
            return inputs * self.var
        else:
            return inputs

    def get_config(self):
        return {"a": self.var.numpy()}

    # There's actually no need to define `from_config` here, since returning
    # `cls(**config)` is the default behavior.
    @classmethod
    def from_config(cls, config):
        return cls(**config)


layer = CustomLayer(5)
layer.var.assign(2)

serialized_layer = keras.layers.serialize(layer)
new_layer = keras.layers.deserialize(
    serialized_layer, custom_objects={"CustomLayer": CustomLayer}
)

"""
#### Registering the custom object

Keras keeps a note of which class generated the config.
From the example above, `tf.keras.layers.serialize`
generates a serialized form of the custom layer:

```
{'class_name': 'CustomLayer', 'config': {'a': 2}}
```

Keras keeps a master list of all built-in layer, model, optimizer,
and metric classes, which is used to find the correct class to call `from_config`.
If the  class can't be found, then an error is raised (`Value Error: Unknown layer`).
There are a few ways to register custom classes to this list:

1. Setting `custom_objects` argument in the loading function. (see the example
in section above "Defining the config methods")
2. `tf.keras.utils.custom_object_scope` or `tf.keras.utils.CustomObjectScope`
3. `tf.keras.utils.register_keras_serializable`

### In-memory model cloning

You can also do in-memory cloning of a model via `tf.keras.models.clone_model()`.

information of the prior model.

There are two ways to specify the save format:

1. `save_format` argument: Set the value to `save_format="tf"` or `save_format="h5"`.
2. `path` argument: If the path ends with `.h5` or `.hdf5`,
then the HDF5 format is used. Other suffixes will result in a TensorFlow
checkpoint unless `save_format` is set.

There is also an option of retrieving weights as in-memory numpy arrays.
Each API has its pros and cons which are detailed below.

#### Format details

The TensorFlow Checkpoint format saves and restores the weights using
object attribute names. For instance, consider the `tf.keras.layers.Dense` layer.
The layer contains two weights: `dense.kernel` and `dense.bias`.
When the layer is saved to the `tf` format, the resulting checkpoint contains the keys
`"kernel"` and `"bias"` and their corresponding weight values.
For more information see
["Loading mechanics" in the TF Checkpoint guide](https://www.tensorflow.org/guide/checkpoint#loading_mechanics).

Note that attribute/graph edge is named after **the name used in parent object,
not the name of the variable**. Consider the `CustomLayer` in the example below.
The variable `CustomLayer.var` is saved with `"var"` as part of key, not `"var_a"`.

### HDF5 format

The HDF5 format contains weights grouped by layer names.
The weights are lists ordered by concatenating the list of trainable weights
to the list of non-trainable weights (same as `layer.weights`).
Thus, a model can use a hdf5 checkpoint if it has the same layers and trainable
statuses as saved in the checkpoint.

**Example:**

`layer.weights` ordering when the model contains nested layers.

#### Transfer learning example

When loading pretrained weights from HDF5, it is recommended to load
the weights into the original checkpointed model, and then extract
the desired weights/layers into a new model.
