the mini-batch of deep and wide in tensorflow - tensorflow

I am trying to get the deep&wide model working on a big data, for example(enter link description here
).
Where the hidden units of deep side is [1024,512,256].
We use tf.SparseTensor() to store our data.
I get below error When I use 40 million instance as training data.
***
m.fit(input_fn=lambda: input_fn(df_train), steps=FLAGS.train_steps)
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/tensorflow/contrib/learn/python/learn/estimators/estimator.py", line 182, in fit

raise ValueError("GraphDef cannot be larger than 2GB.")
ValueError: GraphDef cannot be larger than 2GB.
So I want to use mini-batch as a solution to this problem, but it is not working. How do I use mini-batch to handle big data?

To train with minibatches, you just call model.train multiple times per epoch, feeding it a subset of the data each time. You can feed the data without loading it into the graphdef by either using feed_dict or by using one of the data reading ops described in the reading data tutorial.

Invalid Argument Error Tensorflow Object Detection Training

I am training tensor flow object detection following the tensor flow API. I have trained many models in the past using the exact same steps. This model however keeps giving me the error message below. The error message references
InvalidArgumentError: image_size must contain 3 elements[4]
I searched the error and found
InvalidArgumentError: image_size must contain 3 elements[4] #3349
which shows the error and gives the solution of checking to make sure that all images are RGB. I used the code provided in that thread to check all images. I found about 15 images that were not RGB. I removed the images and the corresponding xml files. I recompiled the csv files and the tfrecord files and restarted the training. I received the error message again. I then tried to start the training over without resuming from the last checkpoint and I still received the error. The error does not happen on a regular basis. Sometimes the model will go for several thousand steps before a failure. I have also tried removing the random crop parameter from the pipeline.config file which had no affect.
Any help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
so it was the RGB image problem. I had checked the images and removed the non RGB images and recreated the records, but the model was still pointing to the old records because the paths were very similar, I did not notice.

slim.dataset_data_provider.DatasetDataProvider with num_epochs=1 throws error

I am using the relatively new tf.slim Dataset, DatasetDataProvider pattern. The following code shows the key fragments:
with tf.Graph().as_default():
# get the dataset split
dataset = util.get_split(train_or_eval,
args.tfrecord_folder,
0,
args.eval_set_size,
crop_size,
file_pattern=file_pattern)
features, labels = util.load_batch(dataset,
batch_size=args.eval_batch_size,
num_readers=10,
num_epochs=1,
is_training=True)
with tf.Session() as sess:
sess.run(tf.global_variables_initializer())
sess.run(tf.local_variables_initializer())
# start the queue runner
with slim.queues.QueueRunners(sess):
...run some ops...
Here's the definition of load_batch:
def load_batch(dataset, batch_size=64, is_training=False,
num_epochs=None, common_queue_capacity=256,
common_queue_min=32, num_readers=None):
shuffle = True
# create the data provider
data_provider = slim.dataset_data_provider.DatasetDataProvider(
dataset,
num_readers=num_readers,
shuffle=shuffle,
num_epochs=num_epochs,
common_queue_capacity=
common_queue_capacity,
common_queue_min= common_queue_min,
seed=5)
# get the tensors from the data provider
images, labels = data_provider.get(['image_raw','label'])
# batch up some training data
images, labels = tf.train.batch([image_raw, label],
batch_size=batch_size,
num_threads=5,
allow_smaller_final_batch=True,
capacity=2 * batch_size)
return images, labels
This works fine when num_epochs=None (which according to the comments in the source means that a file of tfrecords can be read an infinite number of times), but fails when num_epochs=1. Here's the error message:
Out of range: FIFOQueue '_9_batch/fifo_queue' is closed and has insufficient elements (requested 32, current size 0)
Obviously, I need to be able to run an eval step without repeating the examples to get good accuracy and confusion matrix numbers. Any thoughts would be appreciated...
Per the request in the comments I am adding the stack trace. I am running this job in Google Cloud ML so its easiest to show it this way. The logs have a series of paired messages as follows:

After extensive study and reading on Github, many reported that eliminating this issue was a matter of making sure that the initializer for local and global variables is run at the top of the session. Like this one Using the following:
tf.group(tf.local_variables_initializer(), tf.global_variables_initializer{}
However, that did not fix the issue for many (including me), and I suspect for those that it did work, there were other problems leading to an empty FIFO queue.
After much reading, it appears that this is a defect for which there is not an obvious fix. Several work arounds are proposed. I was running a full cycle of train, eval, and predict. Here is the approach which worked for me:
1) On training, I set num_epochs=None. This cycles through the data an infinite number of times and if the documentation is correct, each example is presented only once per epoch. I did spot checking to confirm this, but my dataset was too large to guarantee the docs are correct. That said, my model did not overfit. Train, test, and validation were all reasonably close in terms of accuracy.
2) On eval, I was building a 15 model ensemble and I wanted to compare the proposal selection to ground truth before submitting unlabeled data for validation. I kept an extra hold out set from a k-fold cross validation run and needed to be sure that the each example in the hold out set was predicted once and only once. So to make that work, I: a)set num_epochs=1, b) eliminated all calculations from the eval graph except the prediction, c) reduced the size of the eval set to ~3000 examples, d) set shuffle_batch=False, e) set the batch size so that the queue would have a few extra examples
With these conditions, the queue runners did not run out of examples before my graph completed and I got my test set
3) On predict, I used the same technique again as for eval except that I chose a batch size and number of train steps that was exactly equal to the number of predict records. Since there was no gradient back prop, the predicts were fast enough to finish before the queue runner could kill my job.
Problem solved. Jury rigged. But, it worked. Desperation is the mother of ingenuity or something like that!

TF object detection API - Compute evaluation measures failed

I successfully trained a model on my own dataset, exported the inference graph and did the inference on my test dataset.
I now have
the detections as tfrecord file, specified in input config
an eval_config file with the specified metrics set
When I try to compute the measures like in the new object detector inference and evaluation measure computation tutorial with
python object_detection/metrics/offline_eval_map_corloc.py --eval_dir=/media/sf_shared --eval_config_path=/media/sf_shared/eval_config.pbtxt --input_config_path=/media/sf_shared/input_config.pbtxt
It returns this AttributeError:

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'size'
Any hints?
I fixed it (temporarily) as follows:
if (standard_fields.InputDataFields.groundtruth_difficult in groundtruth_dict.keys()) and groundtruth_dict[standard_fields.InputDataFields.groundtruth_difficult]:
if groundtruth_dict[standard_fields.InputDataFields.groundtruth_difficult].size or not groundtruth_classes.size:
groundtruth_difficult = groundtruth_dict[standard_fields.InputDataFields.groundtruth_difficult]
In place of the existing lines (195-198) in
object_detection/metrutils/object_detection_evaluation.py
The error is caused due to the fact that, even in the case there is no difficulty flag passed, the size of the object is being checked for.
This is an error if you skipped that parameter in your tf records.
Perhaps this was the intent of the developers, but the clarity of documentation certainly leaves a lot to be desired for.

Tensorflow: working tf.while_loop does not work as part of Dataset API input pipeline

My problem is an image keypoint recognition task on images of snails. I have found that although there are many prewritten image augmentation functions for classification tasks (such as Keras' ImageDataGenerator), there are none that I can find suitable for this problem, which requires changes to the output keypoints to match the random transformations of the image. Hence I am writing my own to be mapped onto the dataset as it is read from TFRecord.
The logic I am using involves a while loop which continues to generate random transformations (rotation + shift + zoom etc.) and apply them the real keypoints until it finds a set of transformations where the keypoints fit into the image. This is to avoid transformations that leave part of the snail outside the image. It would then apply those same transformations to the image and return them.
My problem is that, while I have successfully got this augmentation function to work on a single test set of keypoints, when I use the same function as part of my input pipeline, it does not work, throwing the following error: 'Merge can not have more than one valid input' (full trace included at end). I have not been able to find an explanation anywhere.
# Defining cond argument to while loop.'ph' are placeholders to match numbers of arguments for tf.while_loop

This is my first time asking a question on stack overflow, so any comments about how to write better questions are also very welcome! I have tried to strip down the code above as much as I can for brevity and it is hence minimal but NOT complete or verifiable - let me know if I should include more code.
EDIT
I was able to figure out what was wrong! tf.while_loop acts like a python while loop, checking the condition before each run of 'body', which includes THE VERY FIRST RUN. The argument 'loop_vars' takes the variables for this first check. I had entered placeholder values of the wrong format to 'loop_vars', which caused the error above. A good way around this, which worked for me, is to enter the result of a first run of 'body' to the loop_vars variable, as this is assured of being of the right form.

Training with multiple GPUs and ModelCheckpoint leads to exception

I'm training a 1D CNN with two GPUs (2xK80) with Keras (TensorFlow as backend).
The issue I'm having
The issue is (my guess) that I'm trying to save the model weights of one gpu while the other gpu is in the middle of training (or something like that) so I believe I'm looking for a way to halt the fit process when is done, save weights and than go to next epoch.
The exception I received

The question is
How can I train a model on multiple GPUs and at the same time use ModelCheckpoint to save best epoch's weights?
