My goal is to test out Google's BERT algorithm in Google Colab.
I'd like to use a pre-trained custom model for Finnish (https://github.com/TurkuNLP/FinBERT). The model can not be found on TFHub library. I have not found a way to load model with Tensorflow Hub.
Is there a neat way to load and use a custom model with Tensorflow Hub?
Fundamentally: yes. Everyone can create the kind of models that TF Hub hosts, and I hope authors of interesting models do consider that.
For TF1 and the hub.Module format tailored to it, see
https://www.tensorflow.org/hub/tf1_hub_module#creating_a_new_module
For TF2 and its revised SavedModel format, see
https://www.tensorflow.org/hub/tf2_saved_model#creating_savedmodels_for_tf_hub
That said, a sophisticated model like BERT requires a bit of attention to export it with all bells and whistles, so it helps to have some tooling to build on. The BERT reference implementation for TF2 at https://github.com/tensorflow/models/tree/master/official/nlp/bert comes with an open-sourced export_tfhub.py script, and anyone can use that to export custom BERT instances created from that code base.
However, I understand from https://github.com/TurkuNLP/FinBERT/blob/master/nlpl_tutorial/training_bert.md#general-info that you are using Nvidia's fork of the original TF1 implementation of BERT. There are Hub modules created from the original research code, but the tooling to that end has not been open-sourced, and Nvidia doesn't seem to have added their own either.
If that's not changing, you'll probably have to resort to doing things the pedestrian way and get acquainted with their codebase and load their checkpoints into it.

I'm looking into training an object detection network using Tensorflow, and I had a look at the TF2 Model Zoo. I noticed that there are noticeably less models there than in the directory /models/research/models/, including the MobileDet with SSDLite developed for the jetson xavier.
To clarify, the readme says that there is a MobileDet GPU with SSDLite, and that the model and checkpoints trained on COCO are provided, yet I couldn't find them anywhere in the repo.
How is one supposed to use those models?
I already have a custom-trained MobileDetv3 for image classification, and I was hoping to see a way to turn the network into an object detection network, in accordance with the MobileDetv3 paper. If this is not straightforward, training one network from scratch could be ok too, I just need to know where to even start from.
If you plan to use the object detection API, you can't use your existing model. You have to choose from a list of models here for v2 and here for v1
The documentation is very well maintained and the steps to train or validate or run inference (test) on custom data is very well explained here by the TensorFlow team. The link is meant for TensorFlow version v2. However, if you wish to use v1, the process is fairly similar and there are numerous blogs/videos explaining how to go about it
I am new to machine learning models and data science libraries. I wanted to use the Hidden Markov model for statistical data prediction on the fly which read the data from kafka and builds the model which is used to predict the data during the run-time and do the same for continous stream always.
Currently i can see only Tensorflow hidden markov model implementation in tensorflow python (tensorflow_probability distribution). Is their any other library available which can help me acheive the above scenario
Suggestions can involve the libraries of JAVA and python
Please feel free to add any resource links that can help me to understand the usage of tensorflow for hidden markov model
this might be a nice place to start: https://hmmlearn.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tutorial.html
Other alternatives, I found, are
Java:
Mallet library and it's extention GRMM in particular.
Python:
Pommegranate with it's HMM support.
Having said that, TensorFlow is much better known active and supported library, in my impression. I'd try that first.
I'm searching a library that would support Hierarchical HMMs (HHMM). That would probably require some tweaking into one of the listed ones.
I want to use pre trained models in my go application. Especially the Inception-ResNet-v2 model.
This model seems to be only available via tensorflow hub (https://www.tensorflow.org/hub/).
However I could not find any documentation how to use tensorflow hub with the go language bindings for tensorflow.
How can I download and use these models in go?
So after a lot of work in the past few days I finally found a way.
At first I wanted to just use Python to do all the Tensorflow stuff and then provide the results via a rest service. However it turned out that the number of models provided by Tensorflow Hub is very small. This was a problem for me because I had to try out different models and compare them.
Thus I switched to using models from https://github.com/tensorflow/models. There are several tutorials how to export the data to .pb files. Those files can then be loaded in Go using gocv.
It requires a lot of work to convert the files, but in the end I think this is the best way to use Tensorflow models in go.
I have found tutorials and posts which only says to serve tensorflow models using tensor serving.
In model.conf file, there is a parameter model_platform in which tensorflow or any other platform can be mentioned. But how, do we export other platform models in tensorflow way so that it can be loaded by tensorflow serving.
I'm not sure if you can. The tensorflow platform is designed to be flexible, but if you really want to use it, you'd probably need to implement a C++ library to load your saved model (in protobuf) and give a serveable to tensorflow serving platform. Here's a similar question.
I haven't seen such an implementation, and the efforts I've seen usually go towards two other directions:
Pure python code serving a model over HTTP or GRPC for instance. Such as what's being developed in Pipeline.AI
Dump the model in PMML format, and serve it with a java code.
Not answering the question, but since no better answers exist yet: As an addition to the alternative directions by adrin, these might be helpful:
Clipper (Apache License 2.0) is able to serve PyTorch and scikit-learn models, among others

Now you can serve your scikit-learn model with Tensorflow Extended (TFX):

Are there any resnet implementations in tensorflow? I came across a few (e.g. https://github.com/ry/tensorflow-resnet, https://github.com/xuyuwei/resnet-tf) but these implementations have some bugs (e.g. see the Issues section on the respective github page). I am looking to train imagenet using resnet and looking for tensorflow implementations.
There are some (50/101/152) in tensorflow:models/slim.
The example notebook shows how to get a pre-trained inception running, res-net is probably no different.
I implemented a cifar10 version of ResNet with tensorflow. The validation errors of ResNet-32, ResNet-56 and ResNet-110 are 6.7%, 6.5% and 6.2% respectively. (You can modify the number of layers easily as hyper-parameters.)
I tried to be friendly with new ResNet fan and wrote everything straightforward. You can run the cifar10_train.py file directly without any downloads.

I implemented Resnet by use of ronnie.ai and keras. Both of tool are great.
While ronnie is more easy from scratch.
