get_config

Layer/Model configuration

Description

A layer config is an object returned from get_config() that contains the configuration of a layer or model. The same layer or model can be reinstantiated later (without its trained weights) from this configuration using from_config(). The config does not include connectivity information, nor the class name (those are handled externally).

Usage

 
get_config(object) 
 
from_config(config, custom_objects = NULL) 

Arguments

Arguments Description
object Layer or model object
config Object with layer or model configuration
custom_objects list of custom objects needed to instantiate the layer, e.g., custom layers defined by new_layer_class() or similar.

Value

get_config() returns an object with the configuration, from_config() returns a re-instantiation of the object.

Note

Objects returned from get_config() are not serializable. Therefore, if you want to save and restore a model across sessions, you can use the model_to_json() function (for model configuration only, not weights) or the save_model_tf() function to save the model configuration and weights to the filesystem.
