Here is a simple example using Tensorflow 2 0 SavedModel format  which is the recommended format  according to the docs  for a simple MNIST dataset classifier  using Keras functional API without too much fancy going on      Imports import tensorflow as tf from tensorflow keras layers import Input  Dense  Flatten from tensorflow keras models import Model import matplotlib pyplot as plt    Load data mnist   tf keras datasets mnist   28 x 28  x train y train    x test  y test    mnist load data      Normalize pixels  0 255  - gt   0 1  x train   tf keras utils normalize x train axis 1  x test   tf keras utils normalize x test axis 1     Create model input   Input shape  28 28   dtype  float64   name  graph input   x   Flatten   input  x   Dense 128  activation  relu   x  x   Dense 128  activation  relu   x  output   Dense 10  activation  softmax   name  graph output   dtype  float64   x  model   Model inputs input  outputs output   model compile optimizer  adam                loss  sparse categorical crossentropy                metrics   accuracy       Train model fit x train  y train  epochs 3     Save model in SavedModel format  Tensorflow 2 0  export path    model  tf saved model save model  export path         possibly another python program     Reload model loaded model   tf keras models load model export path      Get image sample for testing index   0 img   x test index    I normalized the image on a previous step    Predict using the signature definition  Tensorflow 2 0  predict   loaded model signatures  serving default   prediction   predict tf constant img      Show results print np argmax prediction  graph output        prints the class number plt imshow x test index   cmap plt cm binary     prints the image    What is serving default    It s the name of the signature def of the tag you selected  in this case  the default serve tag was selected   Also  here explains how to find the tag s and signatures of a model using saved model cli    Disclaimers  This is just a basic example if you just want to get it up and running  but is by no means a complete answer - maybe I can update it in the future  I just wanted to give a simple example using the SavedModel in TF 2 0 because I haven t seen one  even this simple  anywhere     Tom s answer is a SavedModel example  but it will not work on Tensorflow 2 0  because unfortunately there are some breaking changes    Vishnuvardhan Janapati s answer says TF 2 0  but it s not for SavedModel format

If you use tf train MonitoredTrainingSession as the default session  you don t need to add extra code to do save restore things  Just pass a checkpoint dir name to MonitoredTrainingSession s constructor  it will use session hooks to handle these

As Yaroslav said  you can hack restoring from a graph def and checkpoint by importing the graph  manually creating variables  and then using a Saver   I implemented this for my personal use  so I though I d share the code here   Link  https   gist github com nikitakit 6ef3b72be67b86cb7868   This is  of course  a hack  and there is no guarantee that models saved this way will remain readable in future versions of TensorFlow

You can save the variables in the network using  saver   tf train Saver    saver save sess   path of save fileName ckpt     To restore the network for reuse later or in another script  use   saver   tf train Saver   saver restore sess  tf train latest checkpoint  path of save    sess run          Important points    sess must be same between first and later runs  coherent structure    saver restore needs the path of the folder of the saved files  not an individual file path

For TensorFlow version  lt  0 11 0RC1   The checkpoints that are saved contain values for the Variables in your model  not the model graph itself  which means that the graph should be the same when you restore the checkpoint   Here s an example for a linear regression where there s a training loop that saves variable checkpoints and an evaluation section that will restore variables saved in a prior run and compute predictions  Of course  you can also restore variables and continue training if you d like   x   tf placeholder tf float32  y   tf placeholder tf float32   w   tf Variable tf zeros  1  1   dtype tf float32   b   tf Variable tf ones  1  1   dtype tf float32   y hat   tf add b  tf matmul x  w       more setup for optimization and what not     saver   tf train Saver      defaults to saving all variables - in this case w and b  with tf Session   as sess      sess run tf initialize all variables        if FLAGS train          for i in xrange FLAGS training steps                  training loop                if  i   1    FLAGS checkpoint steps    0                  saver save sess  FLAGS checkpoint dir    model ckpt                              global step i 1      else            Here s where you re restoring the variables w and b            Note that the graph is exactly as it was when the variables were           saved in a prior training run          ckpt   tf train get checkpoint state FLAGS checkpoint dir          if ckpt and ckpt model checkpoint path              saver restore sess  ckpt model checkpoint path          else                 no checkpoint found               Now you can run the model to get predictions         batch x      load some data            predictions   sess run y hat  feed dict  x  batch x     Here are the docs for Variables  which cover saving and restoring  And here are the docs for the Saver

If it is an internally saved model  you just specify a restorer for all variables as  restorer   tf train Saver tf all variables      and use it to restore variables in a current session   restorer restore self  sess  model file    For the external model you need to specify the mapping from the its variable names to your variable names  You can view the model variable names using the command   python  path to tensorflow tensorflow python tools inspect checkpoint py --file name  path to pretrained model model ckpt   The inspect checkpoint py script can be found in    tensorflow python tools  folder of the Tensorflow source   To specify the mapping  you can use my Tensorflow-Worklab  which contains a set of classes and scripts to train and retrain different models  It includes an example of retraining ResNet models  located here

There are two parts to the model  the model definition  saved by Supervisor as graph pbtxt in the model directory and the numerical values of tensors  saved into checkpoint files like model ckpt-1003418   The model definition can be restored using tf import graph def  and the weights are restored using Saver   However  Saver uses special collection holding list of variables that s attached to the model Graph  and this collection is not initialized using import graph def  so you can t use the two together at the moment  it s on our roadmap to fix   For now  you have to use approach of Ryan Sepassi -- manually construct a graph with identical node names  and use Saver to load the weights into it    Alternatively you could hack it by using by using import graph def  creating variables manually  and using tf add to collection tf GraphKeys VARIABLES  variable  for each variable  then using Saver

All the answers here are great  but I want to add two things   First  to elaborate on  user7505159 s answer  the      can be important to add to the beginning of the file name that you are restoring   For example  you can save a graph with no      in the file name like so     Some graph defined up here with specific names  saver   tf train Saver   save file    model ckpt   with tf Session   as sess      sess run tf global variables initializer        saver save sess  save file    But in order to restore the graph  you may need to prepend a      to the file name     Same graph defined up here  saver   tf train Saver   save file           model ckpt    String addition used for emphasis  with tf Session   as sess      sess run tf global variables initializer        saver restore sess  save file    You will not always need the       but it can cause problems depending on your environment and version of TensorFlow   It also want to mention that the sess run tf global variables initializer    can be important before restoring the session   If you are receiving an error regarding uninitialized variables when trying to restore a saved session  make sure you include sess run tf global variables initializer    before the saver restore sess  save file  line  It can save you a headache

Here s my simple solution for the two basic cases differing on whether you want to load the graph from file or build it during runtime   This answer holds for Tensorflow 0 12   including 1 0    Rebuilding the graph in code  Saving  graph         build the graph saver   tf train Saver      create the saver after the graph with     as sess     your session object     saver save sess   my-model     Loading  graph         build the graph saver   tf train Saver      create the saver after the graph with     as sess     your session object     saver restore sess  tf train latest checkpoint              now you can use the graph  continue training or whatever   Loading also the graph from a file  When using this technique  make sure all your layers variables have explicitly set unique names  Otherwise Tensorflow will make the names unique itself and they ll be thus different from the names stored in the file  It s not a problem in the previous technique  because the names are  mangled  the same way in both loading and saving   Saving  graph         build the graph  for op in             operators you want to use after restoring the model     tf add to collection  ops to restore   op   saver   tf train Saver      create the saver after the graph with     as sess     your session object     saver save sess   my-model     Loading  with     as sess     your session object     saver   tf train import meta graph  my-model meta       saver restore sess  tf train latest checkpoint            ops   tf get collection  ops to restore      here are your operators in the same order in which you saved them to the collection

In most cases  saving and restoring from disk using a tf train Saver is your best option         build your model saver   tf train Saver    with tf Session   as sess            train the model     saver save sess    tmp my great model    with tf Session   as sess      saver restore sess    tmp my great model             use the model   You can also save restore the graph structure itself  see the MetaGraph documentation for details   By default  the Saver saves the graph structure into a  meta file  You can call import meta graph   to restore it  It restores the graph structure and returns a Saver that you can use to restore the model s state   saver   tf train import meta graph   tmp my great model meta    with tf Session   as sess      saver restore sess    tmp my great model             use the model   However  there are cases where you need something much faster  For example  if you implement early stopping  you want to save checkpoints every time the model improves during training  as measured on the validation set   then if there is no progress for some time  you want to roll back to the best model   If you save the model to disk every time it improves  it will tremendously slow down training  The trick is to save the variable states to memory  then just restore them later         build your model    get a handle on the graph nodes we need to save restore the model graph   tf get default graph   gvars   graph get collection tf GraphKeys GLOBAL VARIABLES  assign ops    graph get operation by name v op name     Assign   for v in gvars  init values    assign op inputs 1  for assign op in assign ops   with tf Session   as sess            train the model        when needed  save the model state to memory     gvars state   sess run gvars         when needed  restore the model state     feed dict    init value  val                  for init value  val in zip init values  gvars state       sess run assign ops  feed dict feed dict    A quick explanation  when you create a variable X  TensorFlow automatically creates an assignment operation X Assign to set the variable s initial value  Instead of creating placeholders and extra assignment ops  which would just make the graph messy   we just use these existing assignment ops  The first input of each assignment op is a reference to the variable it is supposed to initialize  and the second input  assign op inputs 1   is the initial value  So in order to set any value we want  instead of the initial value   we need to use a feed dict and replace the initial value  Yes  TensorFlow lets you feed a value for any op  not just for placeholders  so this works fine

code generates random data for the sake of the demonstration   We start by creating the placeholders  They will hold the data at runtime  From them  we create the Dataset and then its Iterator  We get the iterator s generated tensor  called input tensor which will serve as input to our model  The model itself is built from input tensor  a GRU-based bidirectional RNN followed by a dense classifier  Because why not  The loss is a softmax cross entropy with logits  optimized with Adam  After 2 epochs  of 2 batches each   we save the  quot trained quot  model with tf saved model simple save  If you run the code as is  then the model will be saved in a folder called simple  in your current working directory  In a new graph  we then restore the saved model with tf saved model loader load  We grab the placeholders and logits with graph get tensor by name and the Iterator initializing operation with graph get operation by name  Lastly we run an inference for both batches in the dataset  and check that the saved and restored model both yield the same values  They do   Code  import os import shutil import numpy as np import tensorflow as tf from tensorflow python saved model import tag

Following  Vishnuvardhan Janapati  s answer  here is another way to save and reload model with custom layer metric loss under TensorFlow 2 0 0  import tensorflow as tf from tensorflow keras layers import Layer from tensorflow keras utils generic utils import get custom objects    custom loss  for example    def custom loss y true y pred     return tf reduce mean y true - y pred  get custom objects   update   custom loss   custom loss       custom loss  for example   class CustomLayer Layer     def   init   self                      define custom layer and all necessary custom operations inside custom layer  get custom objects   update   CustomLayer   CustomLayer       In this way  once you have executed such codes  and saved your model with tf keras models save model or model save or ModelCheckpoint callback  you can re-load your model without the need of precise custom objects  as simple as  new model   tf keras models load model    model h5

According to the new Tensorflow version  tf train Checkpoint is the preferable way of saving and restoring a model      Checkpoint save and Checkpoint restore write and read object-based   checkpoints  in contrast to tf train Saver which writes and reads   variable name based checkpoints  Object-based checkpointing saves a   graph of dependencies between Python objects  Layers  Optimizers    Variables  etc   with named edges  and this graph is used to match   variables when restoring a checkpoint  It can be more robust to   changes in the Python program  and helps to support restore-on-create   for variables when executing eagerly  Prefer tf train Checkpoint over   tf train Saver for new code    Here is an example   import tensorflow as tf import os  tf enable eager execution    checkpoint directory     tmp training checkpoints  checkpoint prefix   os path join checkpoint directory   ckpt    checkpoint   tf train Checkpoint optimizer optimizer  model model  status   checkpoint restore tf train latest checkpoint checkpoint directory   for   in range num training steps     optimizer minimize           Variables will be restored on creation  status assert consumed      Optional sanity checks  checkpoint save file prefix checkpoint prefix    More information and example here

Wherever you want to save the model   self saver   tf train Saver   with tf Session   as sess              sess run tf global variables initializer                                self saver save sess  filename    Make sure  all your tf Variable have names  because you may want to restore them later using their names  And where you want to predict   saver   tf train import meta graph filename  name    name given when you saved the file   with tf Session   as sess        saver restore sess  name        print sess run  W1 0     example to retrieve by variable name   Make sure that saver runs inside the corresponding session   Remember that  if you use the tf train latest checkpoint        then only the latest check point will be used

My environment  Python 3 6  Tensorflow 1 3 0  Though there have been many solutions  most of them is based on tf train Saver  When we load a  ckpt saved by Saver  we have to either redefine the tensorflow network or use some weird and hard-remembered name  e g   placehold 0 0   dense Adam Weight 0   Here I recommend to use tf saved model  one simplest example given below  your can learn more from Serving a TensorFlow Model   Save the model     import tensorflow as tf    define the tensorflow network and do some trains x   tf placeholder  float   name  x   w   tf Variable 2 0  name  w   b   tf Variable 0 0  name  bias    h   tf multiply x  w  y   tf add h  b  name  y   sess   tf Session   sess run tf global variables initializer       save the model export path       savedmodel  builder   tf saved model builder SavedModelBuilder export path   tensor info x   tf saved model utils build tensor info x  tensor info y   tf saved model utils build tensor info y   prediction signature       tf saved model signature def utils build signature def        inputs   x input   tensor info x         outputs   y output   tensor info y         method name tf saved model signature constants PREDICT METHOD NAME    builder add meta graph and variables    sess   tf saved model tag constants SERVING     signature def map         tf saved model signature constants DEFAULT SERVING SIGNATURE DEF KEY            prediction signature           builder save     Load the model     import tensorflow as tf sess tf Session    signature key   tf saved model signature constants DEFAULT SERVING SIGNATURE DEF KEY input key    x input  output key    y output   export path       savedmodel  meta graph def   tf saved model loader load             sess             tf saved model tag constants SERVING             export path  signature   meta graph def signature def  x tensor name   signature signature key  inputs input key  name y tensor name   signature signature key  outputs output key  name  x   sess graph get tensor by name x tensor name  y   sess graph get tensor by name y tensor name   y out   sess run y   x  3 0
