how to restore variables in fully_connected function - tensorflow

Question

In my training file(train.py), I write:
def deep_part(self):
with tf.variable_scope("deep-part"):
y_deep = tf.reshape(self.embeddings, shape=[-1, self.field_size * self.factor_size]) # None * (F*K)
# self.deep_layers = 2
for i in range(0,len(self.deep_layers)):
y_deep = tf.contrib.layers.fully_connected(y_deep, self.deep_layers[i], \
activation_fn=self.deep_layers_activation, scope = 'fc%d' % i)
return y_deep
now in predict file(predict.py), I restore the checkpoint, but I dont know how to reload the "deep-part" network's weights and biases.Because I think the "fully_conncted" function might hide the weights and biases.

Answer 1

I wrote a lengthy explanation here. A short summary:
By saver.save(sess, '/tmp/my_model') Tensorflow produces multiple files:
checkpoint
my_model.data-00000-of-00001
my_model.index
my_model.meta
The checkpoint file checkpoint is just a pointer to the latest version of our model-weights and it is simply a plain text file containing
$ !cat /tmp/model/checkpoint
model_checkpoint_path: "/tmp/my_model"
all_model_checkpoint_paths: "/tmp/my_model"
The others are binary files containing the graph (.meta) and weights (.data*).
You can help yourself by running
import tensorflow as tf
import numpy as np
data = np.arange(9 * 1).reshape(1, 9).astype(np.float32)
plhdr = tf.placeholder(tf.float32, shape=[1, 9], name='input')
print plhdr.name
activation = tf.layers.dense(plhdr, 10, name='fc')
print activation.name
with tf.Session() as sess:
sess.run(tf.global_variables_initializer())
expected = sess.run(activation, {plhdr: data})
print expected
saver = tf.train.Saver(tf.global_variables())
saver.save(sess, '/tmp/my_model')
tf.reset_default_graph()
with tf.Session() as sess:
# load the computation graph (the fully connected + placeholder)
loader = tf.train.import_meta_graph('/tmp/my_model.meta')
sess.run(tf.global_variables_initializer())
plhdr = tf.get_default_graph().get_tensor_by_name('input:0')
activation = tf.get_default_graph().get_tensor_by_name('fc/BiasAdd:0')
actual = sess.run(activation, {plhdr: data})
assert np.allclose(actual, expected) is False
# now load the weights
loader = loader.restore(sess, '/tmp/my_model')
actual = sess.run(activation, {plhdr: data})
assert np.allclose(actual, expected) is True
