使用 tf.train.Saver 中断和恢复 Tensorflow 的训练数据

在 TensorFlow 1.x 的图模式中,tf.train.Saver 可以把当前会话里的变量保存成 checkpoint,并在新的会话中恢复这些变量。这个机制适合处理训练被中断、需要分阶段训练、或者需要把训练好的模型参数保存下来再继续调试的场景。

下面的例子使用 MNIST 数据集训练一个两层全连接网络:第一次会话先训练 3 个 epoch 并保存模型;第二次会话重新初始化图变量后,再从 checkpoint 恢复权重并继续训练 7 个 epoch。

需要注意:这段代码使用的是 TensorFlow 1.x API,包括 tf.Session()tf.placeholder()tensorflow.examples.tutorials.mnist.input_data。如果在 TensorFlow 2.x 环境中运行,应使用兼容模式,例如禁用 eager execution 并通过 tf.compat.v1 调用对应接口;具体可用性请以本地安装版本为准。

核心流程可以概括为三步:

  1. 在图构建完成后创建 saver = tf.train.Saver()
  2. 在训练会话中调用 saver.save(sess, model_path) 保存变量。
  3. 在新的会话中先构建同样的图,再调用 saver.restore(sess, model_path) 恢复变量。

Saver 保存的是图中变量的值,而不是 Python 训练循环本身。因此,如果需要精确恢复到某一个训练步,还应额外保存当前 epoch、global step、学习率调度状态等训练元数据。常见做法是定义 global_step = tf.Variable(0, trainable=False),并在优化器的 minimize() 中传入 global_step=global_step,这样 checkpoint 中也会包含训练步数。

运行后,/tmp/model.ckpt 附近通常会出现一组 checkpoint 文件。恢复时不需要手动读取这些文件,只要 model_path 指向保存时使用的路径即可。
