@compatibility(TF2)
`tf.compat.v1.train.Saver` is not supported for saving and restoring
checkpoints in TF2. Please switch to `tf.train.Checkpoint` or
`tf.keras.Model.save_weights`, which perform a more robust [object-based
saving](https://www.tensorflow.org/guide/checkpoint#loading_mechanics).
### How to Rewrite Checkpoints
Please rewrite your checkpoints immediately using the object-based checkpoint
APIs.
You can load a name-based checkpoint written by `tf.compat.v1.train.Saver`
using `tf.train.Checkpoint.restore` or `tf.keras.Model.load_weights`. However,
you may have to change the names of the variables in your model to match the
variable names in the name-based checkpoint, which can be viewed with
`tf.train.list_variables(path)`.
Another option is to create an `assignment_map` that maps the name of the
variables in the name-based checkpoint to the variables in your model, eg:
```
{
'sequential/dense/bias': model.variables[0],
'sequential/dense/kernel': model.variables[1]
}
```
and use `tf.compat.v1.train.init_from_checkpoint(path, assignment_map)` to
restore the name-based checkpoint.
After restoring, re-encode your checkpoint
using `tf.train.Checkpoint.save` or `tf.keras.Model.save_weights`.
See the [Checkpoint compatibility](
https://www.tensorflow.org/guide/migrate#checkpoint_compatibility)
section of the migration guide for more details.
### Checkpoint Management in TF2
Use `tf.train.CheckpointManager` to manage checkpoints in TF2.
`tf.train.CheckpointManager` offers equivalent `keep_checkpoint_every_n_hours`
and `max_to_keep` parameters.
To recover the latest checkpoint,
```
checkpoint = tf.train.Checkpoint(model)
manager = tf.train.CheckpointManager(checkpoint)
status = checkpoint.restore(manager.latest_checkpoint)
```
`tf.train.CheckpointManager` also writes a [`CheckpointState` proto]
(https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/master/tensorflow/python/training/checkpoint_state.proto)
which contains the timestamp when each checkpoint was created.
### Writing `MetaGraphDef`s in TF2
To replace, `tf.compat.v1.train.Saver.save(write_meta_graph=True)`, use
`tf.saved_model.save` to write the `MetaGraphDef` (which is contained in
`saved_model.pb`).
@end_compatibility
See [Variables](https://tensorflow.org/guide/variables)
for an overview of variables, saving and restoring.
The `Saver` class adds ops to save and restore variables to and from
*checkpoints*. It also provides convenience methods to run these ops.
Checkpoints are binary files in a proprietary format which map variable names
to tensor values. The best way to examine the contents of a checkpoint is to
load it using a `Saver`.
Savers can automatically number checkpoint filenames with a provided counter.
This lets you keep multiple checkpoints at different steps while training a
model. For example you can number the checkpoint filenames with the training
step number. To avoid filling up disks, savers manage checkpoint files
automatically. For example, they can keep only the N most recent files, or
one checkpoint for every N hours of training.
You number checkpoint filenames by passing a value to the optional
`global_step` argument to `save()`:
```python
saver.save(sess, 'my-model', global_step=0) ==> filename: 'my-model-0'
...
saver.save(sess, 'my-model', global_step=1000) ==> filename: 'my-model-1000'
```
Additionally, optional arguments to the `Saver()` constructor let you control
the proliferation of checkpoint files on disk:
* `max_to_keep` indicates the maximum number of recent checkpoint files to
keep. As new files are created, older files are deleted. If None or 0,
no checkpoints are deleted from the filesystem but only the last one is
kept in the `checkpoint` file. Defaults to 5 (that is, the 5 most recent
checkpoint files are kept.)
* `keep_checkpoint_every_n_hours`: In addition to keeping the most recent
`max_to_keep` checkpoint files, you might want to keep one checkpoint file
for every N hours of training. This can be useful if you want to later
analyze how a model progressed during a long training session. For
example, passing `keep_checkpoint_every_n_hours=2` ensures that you keep
one checkpoint file for every 2 hours of training. The default value of
10,000 hours effectively disables the feature.
Note that you still have to call the `save()` method to save the model.
Passing these arguments to the constructor will not save variables
automatically for you.
A training program that saves regularly looks like:
```python
...
# Create a saver.
saver = tf.compat.v1.train.Saver(...variables...)
# Launch the graph and train, saving the model every 1,000 steps.
sess = tf.compat.v1.Session()
for step in range(1000000):
sess.run(..training_op..)
if step % 1000 == 0:
# Append the step number to the checkpoint name:
saver.save(sess, 'my-model', global_step=step)
```
In addition to checkpoint files, savers keep a protocol buffer on disk with
the list of recent checkpoints. This is used to manage numbered checkpoint
files and by `latest_checkpoint()`, which makes it easy to discover the path
to the most recent checkpoint. That protocol buffer is stored in a file named
'checkpoint' next to the checkpoint files.
If you create several savers, you can specify a different filename for the
protocol buffer file in the call to `save()`.

"""Creates a `Saver`.
The constructor adds ops to save and restore variables.
`var_list` specifies the variables that will be saved and restored. It can
be passed as a `dict` or a list:
* A `dict` of names to variables: The keys are the names that will be
used to save or restore the variables in the checkpoint files.
* A list of variables: The variables will be keyed with their op name in
the checkpoint files.
For example:
```python
v1 = tf.Variable(..., name='v1')
v2 = tf.Variable(..., name='v2')
# Pass the variables as a dict:
saver = tf.compat.v1.train.Saver({'v1': v1, 'v2': v2})
# Or pass them as a list.
saver = tf.compat.v1.train.Saver([v1, v2])
# Passing a list is equivalent to passing a dict with the variable op names
# as keys:
saver = tf.compat.v1.train.Saver({v.op.name: v for v in [v1, v2]})
```
Note: the newer `AutoTrackable` API is not supported by `Saver`. In this
case, the `tf.train.Checkpoint` class should be used.
The optional `reshape` argument, if `True`, allows restoring a variable from
a save file where the variable had a different shape, but the same number
of elements and type. This is useful if you have reshaped a variable and
want to reload it from an older checkpoint.
The optional `sharded` argument, if `True`, instructs the saver to shard
checkpoints per device.
Args:
var_list: A list of `Variable`/`SaveableObject`, or a dictionary mapping
names to `SaveableObject`s. If `None`, defaults to the list of all
saveable objects.
reshape: If `True`, allows restoring parameters from a checkpoint where
the variables have a different shape.
sharded: If `True`, shard the checkpoints, one per device.
max_to_keep: Maximum number of recent checkpoints to keep. Defaults to 5.
keep_checkpoint_every_n_hours: How often to keep checkpoints. Defaults to
10,000 hours.
name: String. Optional name to use as a prefix when adding operations.
restore_sequentially: A `Bool`, which if true, causes restore of different
variables to happen sequentially within each device. This can lower
memory usage when restoring very large models.
saver_def: Optional `SaverDef` proto to use instead of running the
builder. This is only useful for specialty code that wants to recreate a
`Saver` object for a previously built `Graph` that had a `Saver`. The
`saver_def` proto should be the one returned by the `as_saver_def()`
call of the `Saver` that was created for that `Graph`.
builder: Optional `SaverBuilder` to use if a `saver_def` was not provided.
Defaults to `BulkSaverBuilder()`.
defer_build: If `True`, defer adding the save and restore ops to the
`build()` call. In that case `build()` should be called before
finalizing the graph or using the saver.
allow_empty: If `False` (default) raise an error if there are no variables
in the graph. Otherwise, construct the saver anyway and make it a no-op.
write_version: controls what format to use when saving checkpoints. It
also affects certain filepath matching logic. The V2 format is the
recommended choice: it is much more optimized than V1 in terms of memory
required and latency incurred during restore. Regardless of this flag,
the Saver is able to restore from both V2 and V1 checkpoints.
pad_step_number: if True, pads the global step number in the checkpoint
filepaths to some fixed width (8 by default). This is turned off by
default.
save_relative_paths: If `True`, will write relative paths to the
checkpoint state file. This is needed if the user wants to copy the
checkpoint directory and reload from the copied directory.
filename: If known at graph construction time, filename used for variable
loading/saving.
Raises:
TypeError: If `var_list` is invalid.
ValueError: If any of the keys or values in `var_list` are not unique.
RuntimeError: If eager execution is enabled and`var_list` does not specify
a list of variables to save.
@compatibility(eager)
When eager execution is enabled, `var_list` must specify a `list` or `dict`
of variables to save. Otherwise, a `RuntimeError` will be raised.
Although Saver works in some cases when executing eagerly, it is
fragile. Please switch to `tf.train.Checkpoint` or
`tf.keras.Model.save_weights`, which perform a more robust object-based
saving. These APIs will load checkpoints written by `Saver`.

current graph, recreates all the collections, and returns a saver
constructed from the `saver_def` field.
In combination with `export_meta_graph()`, this function can be used to
* Serialize a graph along with other Python objects such as `QueueRunner`,
`Variable` into a `MetaGraphDef`.
* Restart training from a saved graph and checkpoints.
* Run inference from a saved graph and checkpoints.
```Python
...
# Create a saver.
saver = tf.compat.v1.train.Saver(...variables...)
# Remember the training_op we want to run by adding it to a collection.
tf.compat.v1.add_to_collection('train_op', train_op)
sess = tf.compat.v1.Session()
for step in range(1000000):
sess.run(train_op)
if step % 1000 == 0:
# Saves checkpoint, which by default also exports a meta_graph
# named 'my-model-global_step.meta'.
saver.save(sess, 'my-model', global_step=step)
```
Later we can continue training from this saved `meta_graph` without building
the model from scratch.
```Python
with tf.Session() as sess:
new_saver =
tf.train.import_meta_graph('my-save-dir/my-model-10000.meta')
new_saver.restore(sess, 'my-save-dir/my-model-10000')
# tf.get_collection() returns a list. In this example we only want
# the first one.
train_op = tf.get_collection('train_op')[0]
for step in range(1000000):
sess.run(train_op)
```
NOTE: Restarting training from saved `meta_graph` only works if the
device assignments have not changed.
Example:
Variables, placeholders, and independent operations can also be stored, as
shown in the following example.
```Python
# Saving contents and operations.
v1 = tf.placeholder(tf.float32, name="v1")
v2 = tf.placeholder(tf.float32, name="v2")
v3 = tf.math.multiply(v1, v2)
vx = tf.Variable(10.0, name="vx")
v4 = tf.add(v3, vx, name="v4")
saver = tf.train.Saver([vx])
sess = tf.Session()
sess.run(tf.global_variables_initializer())
sess.run(vx.assign(tf.add(vx, vx)))
result = sess.run(v4, feed_dict={v1:12.0, v2:3.3})
print(result)
saver.save(sess, "./model_ex1")
```
Later this model can be restored and contents loaded.
```Python
# Restoring variables and running operations.
saver = tf.train.import_meta_graph("./model_ex1.meta")
sess = tf.Session()
saver.restore(sess, "./model_ex1")
result = sess.run("v4:0", feed_dict={"v1:0": 12.0, "v2:0": 3.3})
print(result)

This function validates that all variables in the variables list are remapped
in the object-based checkpoint (or `names_to_keys` dict if provided). A
saver will be created with the list of remapped variables.
The `cached_saver` argument allows the user to pass in a previously created
saver, so multiple `saver.restore()` calls don't pollute the graph when graph
building. This assumes that keys are consistent, meaning that the
1) `checkpoint_path` checkpoint, and

are the same type of object-based checkpoint. If this argument is set, this
function will simply validate that all variables have been remapped by the

object-based checkpoint.
