Exporting an MNIST Classifier in SavedModel Format

In this exercise, we will learn on how to create models for TensorFlow Hub. You will be tasked with performing the following tasks:

  • Creating a simple MNIST classifier and evaluating its accuracy.
  • Exporting it into SavedModel.
  • Hosting the model as TF Hub Module.
  • Importing this TF Hub Module to be used with Keras Layers.

Create an MNIST Classifier

We will start by creating a class called MNIST. This class will load the MNIST dataset, preprocess the images from the dataset, and build a CNN based classifier. This class will also have some methods to train, test, and save our model.

In the cell below, fill in the missing code and create the following Keras Sequential model:

Notice that we are using a tf.keras.layers.Lambda layer at the beginning of our model. Lambda layers are used to wrap arbitrary expressions as a Layer object:

1
tf.keras.layers.Lambda(expression)

The Lambda layer exists so that arbitrary TensorFlow functions can be used when constructing Sequential and Functional API models. Lambda layers are best suited for simple operations.

Train, Evaluate, and Save the Model

We will now use the MNIST class we created above to create an mnist object. When creating our mnist object we will use a dictionary to pass our training parameters. We will then call the train and export_model methods to train and save our model, respectively. Finally, we call the test method to evaluate our model after training.

NOTE: It will take about 12 minutes to train the model for 5 epochs.

Create a Tarball

The export_model method saved our model in the TensorFlow SavedModel format in the ./saved_model directory. The SavedModel format saves our model and its weights in various files and directories. This makes it difficult to distribute our model. Therefore, it is convenient to create a single compressed file that contains all the files and folders of our model. To do this, we will use the tar archiving program to create a tarball (similar to a Zip file) that contains our SavedModel.

1
2
# Create a tarball from the SavedModel.
!tar -cz -f module.tar.gz -C ./saved_model .

Inspect the Tarball

We can uncompress our tarball to make sure it has all the files and folders from our SavedModel.

# Inspect the tarball.
!tar -tf module.tar.gz

Simulate Server Conditions

Once we have verified our tarball, we can now simulate server conditions. In a normal scenario, we will fetch our TF Hub module from a remote server using the module’s handle. However, since this notebook cannot host the server, we will instead point the module handle to the directory where our SavedModel is stored.

dataset = tfds.load('mnist', split=tfds.Split.TEST, data_dir = filePath, as_supervised=True)

# EXERCISE: Batch the dataset using a batch size of 32.
test_dataset = dataset.batch(32)

for batch_data in test_dataset.take(1):
    outputs = model(batch_data[0])
    outputs = np.argmax(outputs, axis=-1)
    print('Predicted Labels:', outputs)
    print('True Labels:     ', batch_data[1].numpy())
Predicted Labels: [6 2 3 7 2 2 3 4 7 6 6 9 2 0 9 6 2 0 6 5 1 4 8 1 9 8 4 0 0 5 8 4]

We can see that the model correctly predicts the labels for most images in the batch.
